Williams, <br />University of Oregon Book <br />Store <br />The University of Oregon Book <br />Store processing center is located <br />on the Broadway site (alternative <br />5) described in the draft EIS. After <br />the issuance of the draft EIS, the <br />Broadway site alternative was <br />deemed impractical and has been <br />eliminated from further <br />consideration. Alternative site 5 <br />was deemed impractical because of <br />the cost to acquire all of the <br />properties would exceed GSA's <br />current budget allocation. <br />10.1--Comment acknowledged <br />Letter 10 <br />tt(~t~rgs~r <br />°' """`°" P._,0,.._BQX.317G...~_LUGENE,.OR._~,.,97403 <br />~~~: , 895 E. 13th Avenue Sat •348 •x331 FAX 541 •346 •4348 wwe.u°hookstarv.com <br />October 19, 2000 <br />Mr. John 1..
