MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Dir or for Administration
25X1A FROM
Director of Communications
SUBJECT : Use of Official Vehicles Overseas
Your approval. is requested to continue the Office
of Communications policy with regard to the use of official
vehicles at major OC overseas installations, with particular
reference to the following:
a. Watchstander Vehicle. At many of our overseas
facilzt es,'t e base stations are remote from
the housing areas and public transportation is
either non-existent, unreliable, or unsafe. We
have, in such cases, used an official vehicle as
25X1A
factor, this accommodation has proven far more
economical than the use of separate vehicles.
It has the added advantage of making the family
car available to the dependents of our employees
for emergency use, which is a particularly
significant morale factor when the employee is
working the night shifts.
b. Duty Officer Vehicle. At certain of our overseas
installations, we have permitted the duty officers
to take official vehicles home for use in responding
25X1C to after-hours call-in. Here again, this policy
combines economy and safety. Using as an
25X1C exam le the majority of our employees live in the
25X1C a half-hour's drive from
At t e close of business, the duty vehicles are
25X1C driven to carrying other employees who
25X1C live in the area, and are
25X1C The following morning, they
25X1C are returned to the duty point. If left in the
relatively unprotected parking lot behind
25X1C the vehicles would be subject
to theft, vandalism, or even firebombing.
