1. In view of the recent difficulties regarding the acquisition
25X1A6A of adequate and appropriate parking facilities at the I
believe it is now time to reexamine the Agency's policy in this area,
and more clearly define a rational approach to its solution. In the
past, the Agency's response to this matter has, more often than not,
been the function of the general Government-wide policy which, as we
know, fluctuates considerably. I believe it is now time to more
clearly define a specific policy for this Agency which we can con-
sistently apply and hopefully, in time, eliminate the problem as it
relates to all Agency employees wherever they may be situated.
Notwithstanding the fact that most of our facilities are consistent
with GSA and OMB parking guidelines and, generally speaking, have
parking space/employee ratios which are close together, we continue
to experience morale and efficiency problems resulting from the lack
of assured parking facilities for employees and visitors.
2. In accordance with this desire, I am circulating for your
comment a proposed revision of which makes regulatory chan25 1
necessary to.implement a more rational policy. In addition, paragraph 3
of this memorandum contains my proposed guidance to you regarding imple-
mentation of this policy to existing Agency facilities. I would
appreciate your expeditious review of this material and your comments
regarding the advantages and disadvantages or problems which may result
from its implementation.
25X1 3. The proposed changes require that all future real
estate acquisition actions (whether by lease, purchase or construction)
include a requirement that adequate parking be included as an integrated
cost element in the lease or purchase price. Hopefully, this will avoid
25X1A6A problems similar to those encountered with the I With
regards to existing Agency facilities, the following guidelines will
apply:

(1) Application of the Headquarters Regulations policy
shall be applied first to those facilities which have no alter-
native parking available and are located an excessive distance
from alternative means of transportation. I recognize that
this guideline will favor buildings that are located in suburban
settings or industrial park locations which are not serviced by
existing bus or rail carriers rather than Agency facilities in
urban settings adequately serviced by common carrier routes.
Unfortunately, final resolution of parking at urban facilities
can only be completely resolved if alternative and more
advantageous locations are acquired. Since that is unlikely in
near term, these facilities will retain their status quo regarding
payment of parking fees.
(2) When existing leases in suburban locations are renewed
within two years of the date of this policy, consideration will
be given to determining if additional required parking space is
available, and whether the landlord would entertain a contract
amendment regarding the lease of additional spaces to the
Federal Government.
(3) Individual parking space contracts with commercial or
government entities will not, under any circumstances, be reim-
bursed.
(4) Full or partial parking fees paid prior to the
assumption of Agency funding for employee parking will not be
reimbursed.
(5) Acquired parking spaces shall not exceed a direct
or computed cost of dollars per space per month unless
approved by me in advance.
