MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT: Request for Increase in Ceiling of CIA Archives and
Records Center T/O
1. Paragraph 4 contains a recommendation for your approval.
2. The Agency Archives and Records Center is approximately 85% filled.
At the current rate of net increase it will be filled by 1 July 1968, and
we will have to have additional space. In anticipation of this, in co-oper-
ation with member Agencies of the USIB, we negotiated with GSA/NARS for
60,000 cubic feet of Security approved vaulted storage space in the new
Federal Records Center being built at Suitland, Maryland. This storage
space will be available by 1 July 1967 at which time we plan to initially
move approximately 18,000 cubic feat of Agency produced intelligence products
out of the Agency Records Center into this new space. It is anticipated
that by 1 July 1968 we will be occupying 25,000 to 30,000 cubic feet of the
allocated 60,000 cubic feet.
3. In effect, this is increasing the storage capacity of the Agency
Archives and Records Center by 60,000 cubic feet, thereby eliminating the need
for the Agency to expend approximately $500,000.00 in construction costs to
add on to the existing Agency Archives and Records Center Building at
The distance between the locations of the Agency Archives
and he n
ew apace at Suiz-rand,
Maryland is approx e
the resulting increase in ac ivity, asswelleas thefdistancerinvollved, thend
current T/0 of 15 will not be sufficient to carry on the two operations.
Based upon our work production experience in the Agency Archives and Records
Center, it is estimated that a minimum of 3 positions will have to be added
to our T/O. These positions should be provided and staffed by 1 January 1967
to allow for training the individuals and the preparation for the move of the
large volume of records to the new space.
4. It is recommended that you approve an increase of 3 positions to the
Agency Archives and Records Center present ceiling.
