EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, EXPLANATION OF REPORT ON PASSENGER-CARRYING MOTOR FLEET OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The attached report sets forth for fiscal years 1960, 1961, and 1962 the data concerning passenger-carrying motor vehicles operated by the various Federal agencies throughout the world, except for tactical vehicles of the Department of Defense. Table marked "Summary of passenger-carrying vehicle fleet changes, rentals and obligations" is a summary of changes in the passenger-carrying motor vehicle fleets of the Federal Government and the obligations for purchase and hire. It shows the total fleet operated at the beginning of the past year, the changes during the past, current, and budget years by purchase, other forms of acquisition, sale, other forms of disposition; long-term rentals; and the obligations pertaining to each. Sedans, station wagons, and limousines are included but buses and ambulances are excluded. Table 2-Agency fleet changes-shows, for each agency, the changes in its fleet for the 3 years covered by the budget. It starts with the fleet at the beginning of the year and gives numbers acquired and disposed of. It provides detail which supports the summary information for vehicles shown on table above. Table 3-Gross cost of purchases and proceeds from exchange sales Government-owned passenger-carrying vehicles—shows the units purchased and sold for all 3 years, together with the purchase obligations and sale receipts. It supports the obligation figures on the summary table. Trade-in values are treated as sales. Table 4--Rented passenger-carrying vehicles-shows numbers of vehicles rented for periods in excess of 3 successive months and obligations therefor. Ordinarily, a rental of this type substitutes for agency ownership of a vehicle. The rentals from Government interagency motor pools are shown separately from those procured from commercial sources. For the budget year, there is also an estimate of obligations for short-term rentals. This also supports data on the summary table. Table 5-Inventory-Limousines and heavy sedans—provides an inventory, by agency, of heavy sedans and limousines, both rented and owned.
