1. This memorandum contains recommendations for your approval; such
recommendations are contained in paragraph 9 .
1 k P. In reference (a) you directed an in-house study of Agency space re-
quirements for use as a planning base for expansion of the Langley Headquarters
and asked for an outline of space factors to be used. Reference (b) outlines the
guidelines and time frame of the space study.
3. PROCEDURE FOLLOWED
a. In developing space requirements for the 1975-80 period in the
Langley area, the following departmental functions were excluded for the
reasons indicated: (Note: We will staff out all these prior to final
draft.)
b. For all other departmental activities, office type space require-
ments were computed using uniform space standards and criteria devised
for that purpose. Work positions (where different from the number of

personnel on duty) were used as the basis of our computations. For
special purpose (non-office) space we followed generally the standards
of the General Services Administration modified as appropriate to
meet the unique needs of this Agency. The categories of special pur-
pose space as used in this study are contained in attachment 1.
c. The rates and amount of increase in personnel for the period
1966 to 1975-80 as used in this study were coordinated with the Office
of Planning, Programming, and Budgeting. Likewise, the results of
space computations have been reviewed with the Directorates concerned,
including tentative groupings of activities according to functions and
needs as a guide for later design of building(s) to house these activities.
RESULTS SO FAR
,1 The results of our computation of departmental space are con-
tained in attachment 2 and show a net requirement of
square feet for the 1975-80 period based on work
positions. This represents an increase of percent
in computed space and percent in work positions
over the current figures. The present Headquarters Building contains
approximately 1, 000, 000 square feet of net space so that we will need

to construct approximately square feet to house properly
all departmental activities in the Langley area. At such time, depart-
mental space in Rosslyn and elsewhere will be released, except for the
activities listed in above.
5. While some adjustments within and between Directorates will be in
order at a later date, it is believed that the total computed space requirements
for the 1975-80 period are valid for further planning. The computed require-
ment of square feet would provide relief from the present
over-crowded conditions in the Headquarters Building and would allow for
expected expansion of personnel at the rate of just under 2 percent per year
which conforms to our experience for the past 10 years. Those offices showing
a proposed increase of 25 percent or more in either space or personnel during
the 1966 to 1975-80 period are identified with a brief explanation in attach-
mentIlk

6. Some very tentative conclusions as to possible groupings of functions
and space allocations are contained in attachment*. The backup material
held by the Space Requirements Staff identifies the number of enclosures, .
required for offices, conferences, files and other support space, as well as
our needs for special purpose space for computer operations, control,

training, communications and service areas, and other special requirements.
These data are in a form suitable for development into a summary space
directive.
? WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE
7 Before preparing a summary space directive, further study and
planning, with appropriate technical support, are required following
the basic decision to proceed toward ultimate construction of additional
building(s) in the Langley area. We require more work on:
(1) Feasibility and cost data to assist in determination of the
number and types of buildings, their general configuration, location,
access traffic networks, and any necessary modifications of existing
space.
(2) Space layouts to accommodate each departmental activity
(in the new building(s) or Headquarters Building) including con-
sideration of long-range operational plans, support and functional
relationships, refinements of adjustments of space within and
between Directorates, and potential common or related use of
special purpose space.

(3) Communications and transportation arrangements within and
between buildings, and appropriate consideration for fallout shelters
and possible hardening of certain vital sites.
(4) Coordination of Agency plans for any additional construction
with the General Services Administration and the Advisory Committee
on Federal Buildings in the National Capital Region established by
GSA Bulletin EPMR No. D-15 dated 7 February 1966. The General
Services Administration is responsible, with the advice of the
Advisory Committee, for development of long-range plans for Federal
office space in the National Capital Region.
(5) Cost estimates, explanations and justifications for the
necessary funds.
8. The technical aspects of this work can be accomplished by con-
tractual employment of architectural and engineering assistance to be assigned
to the Space Requirements Staff which should then be redesignated as the
Building Planning Group. Active participation in the work of this group by
each of the Directorates and several of the major offices can be accomplished
through the channels presently established for the Space Requirements Staff.
Funds in the amount of $99, 960 were requested as "unbudgeted requirements"

in FY 1967 to cover the costs of eight contract employees as the nucleus of
the Building Planning Group.
9. RECOMMENDATIONS
a. Approval of the concept of construction of additional building(s)
in the Headquarters area containing approximately 850, 000 square
feet of net space.
b. Authorization for contractual employment of such architectural
and engineering assistance as may be necessary to support the Building
Planning Group which will be directed to undertake additional studies
and planning as required, including coordination as appropriate with
the General Services Administration and the Advisory Committee on
Federal Buildings in the National Capital Region, and to develop
specific proposals covering:
(1) Number, types, and configuration of additional buildings
with appropriate alternative for consideration.
(2) Space layouts to house departmental functions in the Langley
area.
(3) The detailed data, cost estimates, explanations and justi-
fication needed to secure the Bureau of the Budget, Congressional
