SUBJECT: Garage Facilities
1. In accordance with Administrative Instruction No. dated 25X1A
23 March 1948, subject: "Projects", it is the desire of the Fief,
Services Branch to submit for consideration a proposal that CIA
lease new garage facilities at an annual rental of $15,000.

consisting of
ice quarters, totaling approximately 7000 square feet

,
under CIA Lease No. XG-93 for the period 1 September 1947 to 30 June
1948 at an annual rental of 14500. The lessor under this lease is
and the lease is subject to cancellation upon
thirty days written notice being given in writing to the l?ssor.
3. At the present time, garage facilities are required for the
maintenance, repair, and storage of a total of 81 vehicles (passenger
cars and trucks) and Li. trailer trucks in use in the Washington area.
The present garage facilities described in paragraph 2 above accommodate
a maximum of 3L vehicles of the 84 in use. All other vehicles not being
accommodated in this garage are stored either on the
property or in the vicinity of CIA buildings at 2430 Street in outside
.storage. These vehicles are subject to theft, all types of weather
conditions, and in certain instances, vehicles have not been properly
maintained due to the lack of ,Cooperation of certain CIA activities
or personnel who do not return the vehicles to the garage when requested
for maintenance and repair work to be performed when it needed.

to ase this building to CIA at a monthly rental o , including
utilities, or an annual cost of $15,000. V~r original. tentative offer

this moment, has rejected both offers and has stated that
he cannot lea ing for less than ^;1250. per month or x15,000
per annum, due to present day high costs of construction. The building
will be completed on or about 1 January 1949. The cost of this space
will be at the rate of 770 per square foot which is reasonable and in
line with present day costs of similar space in this area, This figure

compares with the space now under lease in the amount of 7000 square
feet, which is leased at a rate of 64? per square foot. However, the
difference in cost is accounted for by the fact that the present building
was. constructed in 1943 and the proposed building now under construction
is being erected when construction costs are inflated.
5. As indicated in my memorandum of 16 July 1949 commenting on
memorandum of 17 February 1948 from , Inspector,
Inspection and Security, it was irate ase property now under
lease by , referred to
as the , adjacent to the property. In
report he indicated, ve een aware, the inconvenient
location of the gas pump to the garage. The building which we propose
to lease would accommodate gas pump facilities and would solve many
problems in connection with the operation of the_hotor Pool Garage
house. This property was to be leased to CIA upon being vacated by the
present tenants at a cost of `:P400. per month or an annual rental of
;4800, including appurtenant land. This facility would be used for
repair and storage but it was realized that it would be inadequate to
accommodate additional vehicles not accommodated by the present facilities.
It appears, however, that this property will not be available for probably
an additional eighteen months and possibly at that time would not be the
ideal answer to our requirement. The total cost under this arrangement
would have been X9300 per annum.
6. It is therefore recommended that the Projects Review Committee
approve the cancellation of present Lease No. XG-93, effective 31 Decem-
ber 1948 and authorize the Chief, Services Branch to enter into a new
lease for the proposed facility effective 1 January 1949 at a cost not
would improve security, and eliminate congestion at the
