Strategic Withdrawal of Agencies for Meaningful Placement Act or the SWAMP Act

This bill prohibits new construction, major renovation, leasing, or renewing a lease of certain executive agency headquarters in the District of Columbia metropolitan area and establishes a competitive bidding process for the relocation of such headquarters.
