GSA acquisitions chief goes on medical leave

Just days before a House hearing scheduled to examine overspending at a 2010 conference he helped run, Steven Kempf, commissioner of the General Services Administration’s contracting division, announced he is taking a 60-day medical leave as of Monday.

In an email Friday to his staff at the Federal Acquisitions Service, Kempf wrote: “I truly do not want to be leaving you at this important time.
