MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Logistics
SUBJECT : Space Utilization
15 JUL 197'
1. In answer to your inquiry of yesterday morning, once the DD/A
has approved of our proposal to move major elements out of the Headquarters
Building, the next major step would be the preliminary planning for utili-
zing the space thus freed. As previously indicated, except for the as yet
unstated requirement for the SAFE Computer Center, over 50 percent of our
space needs within this building during this and the next 2 fiscal years
are requirements levied by the Director of Intelligence. With this in mind,
it will be necessary to make some internal relocations within the building
to consolidate like-components/elements to the extent possible.
2. For planning purposes I am listing below some of the more logical
moves required to bring about such consolidations.
(a) The move of the 0GC off the 7th floor would make it possible
to consolidate the OLC holdings on the 7D and 6C corridors in a portion
of the space vacated by the OGC.
(b) It would then be possible to relocate that portion of the IC
Staff, which recently moved into 7C24, around the corner into the
space vacated by OLC. This will result in consolidation for the IC
Staff and free space for DD/A use on the 7C corridor.
(c) Space vacated on the 6C and 7C corridor would then be avail-
able for the needed expansion of the IRS, and the permanent relocation
of the recently established EEO group to the 7th floor.
(d) Certain elements of the DDO are located in the North end of
the building, which is almost exclusively a DDI domain from the 1st
floor up with the exception of some CRS elements located on the ground
floor at the South end. It might be feasible to relocate DDO components
such as the ISG and SOG to the South end of the building in ground.
floor space to be vacated by OJCS. This would provide some consolidation
for ISG, which has elements in both ends of the building.
(e) Some space should be retained for turn-around use, which could
be of tremendous value in continuing our POSEIDON Phase II consolidation
of the DDO/EUR and SE Divisions.
(f) Looking forward to the time when we recover space assets upon
conclusion of the Congressional investigation, i.e., space occupied

by the Hank Knoche liasion staff, the Senate Select Committee, and
so on, it should be possible to relocate the auditors from their
present temporary office on the lE corridor to the 6th or 7th floor,
with the 6D corridor space which would be vacated by OLC in effect-
ing its consolidation a logical choice. This would give us 3 separate
blocks of space totaling approximately 1,700 sq. ft. on the lE corridor
and the 1E subcorridor, which would be available for certain consoli-
dations of DDI components now on the lst and ground floors. For example,
moving the CRS administrative element to the 1st floor would provide
us with a nucleus of space for the SAFE Computer Center in the proper
location for such a project.
(g) As we still have d his OTR Alien Affairs folks
and desk space for the D/ temporary y in 6D57, moving them to a
new location (in space to eventually be vacated by Knoche) would give
us an area which would be more useful in achieving the EUR/SE consoli-
dations. My thinking here is to eventually relocate the CI element
which works closely with EUR from GE05 to 6D57. This would free GE05
for OEL/SAD expansion requirements in the event SAD does not relocate
(h) The move of ISAS element (Regulations Control Branch) from
Key Building back to Headquarters. In view of the new requirements
recently submitted by the OGC, it is doubtful that we could accommodate
the Regulations Control Branch in its former 2E45 quarters; however,
because of IRS and other ISAS expansions the DD/A may well need additional
space on the 7C or 7D corridors to accomodate.
(i) Move of the History Staff from Key to Headquarters. This is
a stated desire of the DD/A. The staff can be accommodated within
600 sq. ft. if the area is a special purpose vault.
3. With the foregoing in mind, and subject your concurrence, I shall
proceed to prepare a proposal for space utilization of the areas we hope
will be vacated by the Offices of Communications and.Personnel. A later
phase of this planning will incorporate the space which may eventually be
vacated by OEL/SAD.
4. Meanwhile, I will continue to update our total space requirements
by memorandum each month including all new requirements, briefings and
reports, deleting by proper notations those requirements which have been
either satisfied or cancelled.
