Trump administration deletes list of hundreds of federal buildings targeted for potential sale

NEW YORK (AP) The Trump administration on Tuesday published a list of more than 440 federal properties it had identified to potentially offload, including the FBI headquarters and the main Department of Justice building, after deeming them not core to government operations.
Hours later, however, the administration issued a revised list with only 320 entries that excluded every previously listed building in Washington, D.C. And by Wednesday morning, the list was gone entirely. Non-core property list (Coming soon) read the web page where the list had previously been posted.
---------------------------------------------
Several of the buildings on the initial 443-property chopping block house agencies that Trump has long criticized and targeted, notably the FBI and Justice Department. The FBI and HUD headquarters are also prime examples of the brutalist architectural style that Trump has tried for years to eliminate, preferring traditional, neo-classical architecture instead.
Eliminating federal office space has been a top priority of the new administration. Last month, GSA regional managers received a message from the agencys Washington headquarters ordering them to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide.

There is / was a gun range in the basement.
The tour guide asked for a volunteer at the range and selected me.
Was handed a handgun and fired at a target.
Don't recall the safety specifics.
