The Langley Headquarters compound consists of 219 acres. The
General Services Administration (GSA) has purchased an additional
30 acres contiguous to the southwest corner of our property. The
current owners have tenant rights until death, at which time that
property also will revert to us.
The Headquarters building was first occupied in late 1961. It
was erected under contract by GSA. The then Director, Allen Dulles,
signed an agreement with GSA giving them the right and responsibility
to operate and maintain the installation. While this agreement is
still operative, we have to supplement considerable funds and personnel
to ensure a 24-hour-a-day operating capability and to further ensure
the proper maintenance of our environmentally controlled areas which
are essential for our extensive computer operations.
There are three structures on the compound. You are familiar
with the Headquarters building itself. The building has usable square
footage of approximately 1,000,000 square feet. The cost of the
Headquarters building was approximately $54 million. In addition to
that, there is a separate standing Printing & Photography building of
51,000 square feet at the northern extremity of the property. It was
erected in 1967 at a cost of $2 million. There is also a garage and
motor pool operation on the western side. It consists of a 14,000
square foot building built in 1974 and at a cost of approximately
$1.8 million.
