Action Memorandum No
Date 9 April 1963
_Manning for the Future Housing of CIA Units
not in the Headquarters Building
14 As I mentioned to you last week, I had the opportunity to
discuss with the Director the progress that we have mad* thus far in planning
for the location of the CIA units that have been left out of the Headquarters
building. You will recall that the original request stemmed from the Director's
Instructions, following & visit to I to find better quarters for 25X1
the TSD. The following information is for your guidance as to the Director's
current thinking on this subject.
2. I advIsed the Director that the A/DDS had set up a lunch with
ly, the Commissioner of Public Buildings, explaining in broad terms
problem was to locate space of approximately square feet to 25X1
madate the CIA unite not in the Headquarters building. I advised him that
the cussion had ranged from attempting to lease a building at that use to
private enterprise build the building and then leasing it, to building an
to the present CIA building. I told him that Mr. Daly had promised to
Is it with the GSA Administrator, and to set up a planning group Jointly
with s in order to corns up with proposals. I pointed out to the Director that
since the meeting with Mr. Daly, there had been further discussions with GSA,
and that the general feeling seemed to be that it would be more economical to build
a CIA annex to the Headquarters building inasmuch as there was no building of
this eine presently in the area or planned, and that it would be more expensive
to rent.

3. Mr. McCone asked as to the general thoughts about the annex
and 1 briefly described the advanced planning of a building behind the present one
connected by either wings or covered walks at the cost of $20-23 million.
Mr. McCone then inquired as to the various units outside the building, and
gave him a general run-down of those exclusive of NPIC, and their present
locations. The DCI asked that, in this planning, in addition to working on an
annex, the planners give consideration to the possibility of one or more
satellite buildings around the main building which would house elements which,
for security reasons, we wish to keep compartmented. He also asked that we
give consideration to the possibility of such an alternative as moving the entire
DD/P organisation out of the building, and perhaps even out of Washington to
someplace such as New York. Finally, he asked for an indication of interim
planning, pointing out that even under the most advantageous efforts, it would
be 1967 or 1968 before we would be able to complete an annex.
4. The above is to give you guidance as to the Director's views;
obviously he expects both initiative and imagination in the planning, although
all of his thoughts should be given due weight. Would you please arrange to see
that I am kept periodically informed of the progress on this, as if we are going
to move ahead, we should probably do something during this session of Congress.
