The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 seeks to promote an "economical and efficient system for...procurement and supply." Toward that end, the Act authorizes the President to "prescribe such policies and directives, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act, as he shall deem necessary to effectuate the provisions of said Act...." This petition urges the White House to consider how the President's authority under FPASA can be deployed to stimulate hiring by firms seeking to do business with the federal government.
