Central lute1lig- c Agency
The Honorable David A. Stockman
Director
Office of Management and Budget
Washington, D. C. 20503
Dear Mr. Stockman:
During, the past several years, we have become increasingly concerned
regarding the level of services provided by the General Services
Administration (GSA) and its impact on the Agency. Among the areas of
particular concern has been GSA's inability to staff at adequate levels
Federal Protection Officer (FPO) positions which are located at CIA
facilities in the Metropolitan Washington area (some 35 percent understaffed
during' the past two years). Another area of major concern stems from our
increasing reliance on data processing in order to accomplish our mission.
:he Agency's time-critical, seven-day, 24-hour operations demand a degree of
reliability which exceeds that normally required by most other government
entities.
in light of these concerns, we have had a continuing dialogue with GSA
in an effort to accomplish our mission. This dialogue has, most recently,
culminated in a Memorandum of Agreement with GSA, a copy of which is
forwarded herewith.
This Agreement, in summary, provides for a delegation of responsi-
bilities from GSA to CIA for protective security services at CIA facilities
in. the Metropolitan Washington area. It also provides for the assumption by
CIA of the maintenance and operation of the facilities located within the
CIA Headquarters complex.
As detailed in the enclosed Agreement, we intend to fill all 11 FPO
designated positions with CIA staff employees, currently being recruited.
With respect to the maintenance and operation of facilities located on the
CIA Headquarters complex, we intend, to contract out for most of this func-
tion. We will, however, require a positions (of the total 0 GSA main-
tenance and operation positions) to administer the various contracts, over-
see contract performance, and perform several unique functions associated
with the CIA Headquarters building and associated facilities.

Mr. David A. Stockman
We are presently working with GSA to orchestrate an orderly transfer of
responsibilities in the two areas indicated. In order to begin implemen-
taticn of the Agreement, we will need an increase in the Agency's currently
authorized position ceiling-=to accommodate the staff being recruited to
meet immediate requirements for protective services and, as noted above ,F]
to accommodate the increased staff associated with Headquarters building
operation and maintenance functions. There should be a corresponding reduc-
tion in GSA's authorized position ceiling. The remaining Fe Protective
Officer positi will be required over the next two years-in 1985 and
the balance of in 1986--to complete the phased implementation of the
agreed upon transfer in responsibility. Again, with corresponding reduc-
tions in GSA's authorized position ceiling.
Accordingly, it is requested that you approve an increase o
Agency's 1984 authorized position ceiling, from
Sincerely,
Enclosure
