The initial decision~to locate the Agency Headquarters building in an
isolated.area.necessitated a' great number of parking spaces which, it may be.

Factors creating ? th'i.s parking- imcract- on the Agency, were:-
a. The location of the Headquarters building did not make ft attractive
to public-transit - companies for service.,. . A continuing- struggle--resulted- in the - -

b. The fringe location of the Agency has served to offer an incentive
.to employment of those living in distant-suburban areas. These employees often
cannot be served by mass. transit without. first entering the center of the city
via AMTRAK,-Greyhound/Trailways, etc., and then returning to the suburban location
of CIA Headquarters. Similarly; the remote location of the Headquarters facility
proved to have negative effect on recruiting efforts in the center city, despite-
high priority given to'such recruitment. (It should be remembered tf,at Federal
-Protective Officers serving at this building receive incremental pay over service
in Federal buildings in the center city; similarly, GSI provides shuttle bus -
service for its employees from the center city.)
c. The nature of the.. work at. CIA, i.e. .. not the -bureaucratic 9 to 5
model, works against the idealized car pool pattern. Both secretarial and pro-
fess iona-l_lever employee-work- patterns are-often governed..by. fast-br.-eak.irig world..
events, necessitating early arrival and late-hour working patterns to accomplish.
the missi.on-of the Agency. The employee.-in a car pool-who must submit to such -
work patterns in the. government interest. is berift ofvehicular~-transit (both his
or her establ i shed car pool and the so-called.,'-''rush.- hour". publ.i.c. transit . serving.
Headquarters).. The-.imposition -of.overlirmiting-parking provisions as an encourage-,..
ment.of car pool ingeye! s significantly higher than present would no doubt have
an adverse effect on the mission -of this Agency. For the Agency or Government to
impose, though. direct or indirect regulation, time constraint work patterns would.
remove 'the existing incentives to perform work in a timely and.effective manner -
in crisis :situations and remove managerial, options to direct. voluntary and compen-
sated overtime to perform essential :intelligence. functions-.
