r nnerir%rtlMTt11 I Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01: CIA-RDP87S00869R000200020001-2 MEMORANDUM FOR- Chief, Logistics Services Division Office of Logistics VIA Deputy Director for Administration Director ot Security 25X1 SUBJECT: Ridesharing REFERENCE: Your Memo of 20 September 1983 to Chief, Policy and Plans Group/OS, same Subject 1. In response to reference, this will affirm the Office of Security position that figured in coordination of Employee Bulletin-1033; i.e., the Agency cannot participate in the General Services Administration (GSA)-sponsored Federal Facility Ridesharing Program. Our objection is based on the fact-that a list of overt Agency employees would be created in machine records of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Committee Club. Such a list, created to support a public sharing of information, is not acceptable in terms of our obligation to avoid compilation of the names of Agency employees (Section 6, CIA Act of 1949). 2. We have agreed to participation in the Rosslyn ridesharing program as a concession to public relations factors associated with the new building. Any list of Agency employees created by this concession will be insignificant, certainly in comparison to the numbers that would be involved in an area-wide program. We feel this is sufficient to satisfy expressed local concern over traffic-.conditions, particularly when supported by the following: ? The bulk of Agency employees are quartered in Headquarters Building and the percentage will increase upon completion of the new building. The location of these facilities, well removed from any other major Government facility, does not lend itself to a proximity destination program.

Our in-house effort to encourage ridesharing is organized and active. Assignment of a substantial number of choice parking spaces for carpools and vanpools is graphic evidence of Agency intent in ridesharing. The Agency has and does encourage vanpooling and information concerning this type of ridesharing is welcome. 3. It is suggested the above-mentioned factors and any other demonstration of a positive attitude toward ridesharing be included in a response to the Northern Virginia Transportation Committee (NVTC). We have not prepared a suggested response because we cannot speak for We are 25X1 interested in the reply to the NVTC and request 1 -bat the second letter to Mr. Peter Braham be coordinated with this Office. Our wish is that the letter be as responsive as possible, consistent with our position on the GSA-sponsored ridesharing program.

As reflected in basic material, carpooling and vanpooling figured in a previous exchange with the Logistics Service Division, Office of Logistics (LSD/OL). The result of the exchange was agreement that applications for ridesharing to and from Rosslyn could be publicized and made available for distribution. It was further agreed, that the Agency would not publicize the Federal Facility Ridesharing Program sponsored by the General Services Administration (GSA). The latter position was taken because the GSA-sponsored program features a master computer index for the entire Washington, D.C. area; the index would create an extensive list of overt employees in violation of Section 6 of the CIA Act of 1949 which states "the Agency should be exempted from the provisions of Section 654 of Title 5, and the provisions of any other law which require the publication or disclosure of the organization, functions, names, official titles, salaries, or number of personnel employed by the Agency." In addition to listing in machine records, Agency employees would be named and their employers identified in lists circulated as part of the computer ridematching service. 2. An employee bulletin (attached) has been published that promotes ridesharing to Rosslyn. Originally, this bulletin was also to promote the GSA-sponsored program. It does, not mention the latter program due to an Office of Security objection that was explained to LSD/OL. LSD/OL also knew that we considered the matter resolved with respect to a response to the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC). Although no formal position paper was forwarded, it was made clear that the limit of compromise had been reached in agreeing to cooperation with the NVTC effort in Rosslyn. 3. LSD/OL is under the gun on the ridesharing issue. The basic material notes the public relation aspect of responding to the NVTC and our appreciation of it.

To close the issue, we are forced to consider alternative: ? Holding the line on creation of more public lists of overt employees; or ? Bow to the pressure and accept the idea it is no longer possible to prevent public listings of overt employees. 4. The choice is not as simple as it may appear. Contrary to conditions in 1949, most CIA employees are now open. There has been an erosion of the protection that once prevented creation of listings. State tax records are not controlled and could be used to compile an almost complete roster of overt employees from Virginia, Maryland and D.C. records alone. Medicare records can be afforded limited but not absolute protection. Social Security will soon be with us and will further complicate the situation. 5. On the other hand, a statutory responsibility stands. We need not compound a threat by cooperating in a Government program that by its nature invites removal of the last barrier of confidentiality or at least limited access. Finally, we have an in-house ridesharing program that conforms fully with the spirit of the Federally-sponsored activity. 6. On balance, it is believed that our mission is not consistent with the GSA program, and that it is appropriate we assert our unique status and responsibility under the law. With due provision for the need for diplomacy in a response to the NVTC, it is recommended: 0 The Office of Security go on record as opposed to participation in the GSA-sponsored ridesharing program. ? Public relations considerations be addressed in the manner proposed in the attached response to LSD/OL.

Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01 : CIA-RDP87S00869R000200020001-2 1983 GSA RUSH HOUR INFORMATION UPDATE : COMPUTER RIDEMATCHING During the past 2 years, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the local county ridesharing coordinators have developed and implemented a new ridematching software system for use by area commuters. This new system is far superior to the previous system which had been in use since 1973. New algorithms built into the software allow the computer to "think" like a typical commuter would think in attempting to locate an appropriate carpool or vanpool. Those facility coordinators actively using the system have expressed a great deal of satisfaction with the results. A description of the new features follows: 1. Applicants are no longer placed in a grid data base. The residence and worksite locations are'now represented as points on a map. Matching is based on areas within circles of expanding radii. The greater the distance is between the home and work sites, the larger the area the computer will search for potential riders and drivers. 2. Applicants can be matched from their residence and/or from any other location, such as a day-care center, park and ride lot, etc. 3. Applicants will be matched with other commuters based on specific flexibility of work hours. Ridematching forms require that the amount of flexibility (in minutes) and the direction of flexibility (earlier or later) to be indicated. 4. COG provides overnight ridematching service to applicants. The ridematching list is mailed to the applicant's home. Each month COG mails delete notices and renewal applications to individuals who have been on the data base for 5 months. Information on those who do not reapply for a new match list will be deleted from the data base during the 6th month. Ridematching Applications, GSA Form 10045, are available for use by all Federal agencies for distribution on a "Take One" basis. The forms should be stocked in personnel, parking, and administrative offices and cafeterias. Every new or transferring Federal employee should be handed the application by a personnel office staff member. (New employee ridesharing orientation is an important part of a facility ridesharing program.) GSA will soon have available for agency use 500 standing display units that will hold the applications in a pocket for distribution directly to employees.

If you are interested in joining an employee carpool or vanpool or if your pool has a vacancy, please complete the attached Ridematching Application and rgturn it to (Name and Room Number) by (Date). The application will be sent to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments for immediate processing. After the applications are processed you will receive a current list of names, telephone numbers, and work hours of employees who live and work near you and have indicated an interest in sharing-the-ride to work. Ridematching Applications will be stocked in the following locations: for future use. You may reapply any time for an updated list. Significant savings in commuting costs (vehicle insurance, gasoline, and maintenance) can be achieved by sharing-the-ride. The first step in locating a convenient carpool or vanpool is to complete the attached Ridematching Application. A high degree of employee participation will ensure the success of our ridesharing program.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE Employee participation in the Federal Facility Ride- sharing Program.is voluntary, a private accommoda- tion of employees rather than a Federal activity. Nevertheless, GSA and Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) Commuter Club will observe Privacy Act requirements because participa- tion requires solicitation and collection of personal information. Following are the routine uses of the in- formation collected. All questionnaires are collected for and delivered to COG. Information is converted to machine readable form for computer processing and storage. Individual questionnaires are then destroyed. You may be contacted by COG by phone at work or by mail at home for survey information on the effectiveness of Commuter Club and for up- dating information. COG prepares individual ride- match lists and delivers them to Federal employees. These contain work locations, duty hours and tele- phone numbers of participants. No other use or distri- bution is made of questionnaire information.

Interest in subject is detailed in the attachment. Subsequent (12 August) to preparation of the attachment, the Deputy Chief, Logistics Services Division/OL contacted me regarding preliminary (within DDA) coordination on a proposed letter to the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) and a draft Headquarters notice concerning the making of NVTC material available to Agency employees. He was advised I could not speak for the Office at this point, but could provide per- sonal reaction to the proposals. In brief and in keeping with the analysis in the attached memorandum, the DC/LSD/OL was advised that direct applications to the Federal Facility Ride- sharing Program (FFRP) would create lists of Agency employees that were uncontrolled, available to the public and, therefore, unacceptable. Applications for pooling to Rosslyn provided by the NVTC were acceptable because of the limited number of people involved and public relations considerations that cannot be ignored. Names of the employees who file application for pooling to Rosslyn will be fed into machine records maintained for the FFRP and will be kept indefinitely. The DC/LSD/OL felt no more than a dozen people would respond, since previous efforts by the Agency to promote pooling to Rosslyn generated little interest. The number probably is low, but it is believed a larger figure could be tolerated. The DC/LSD/OL felt the overriding considera- tion was the good will of the officials who will determine the fate of the new building. From the security standpoint, this factor is important but secondary to the extent to which Agency employees will appear in public listings. 2. The DC/LSD/OL provided a package containing the proposed letter and draft notice mentioned above. Review was confined to substance; editorial matters were not addressed. In the sub- stantive area LSD/OL was advised that the FFRP should be deleted from the proposed notice and FFRP applications should not be distributed to Agency employees. The opinion was offered that employees under cover should not participate and that CCS should be consulted for jurisdictional guidance on the cover situation. It was agreed mention of the FFRP would be deleted and their application not circulated.

The preliminary coordination does not bind the Office. Formal coordination of the notice through RCD will be required and the draft will be offered throughout the Agency for comment. In other words, we will have another shot at it if it is decided the Office position is not consistent with the opinion of the writer. It is recommended this paper and the explanatory attach- ments be forwarded for the information of the DD/P&M and, if he has no objection, defer further action until RCD coordinates the notice.

NI USE TY 15 AUG 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD Policy and Plans Group STAT SUBJECT: Employee Participation in Regional Carpooling and Vanpooling Programs 1. The Employee Activity Branch has referred two items dealing with subject and forwarded to them for guidance/comment by the Deputy Chief, Logistics Services Division/OL. They are: ? A pamphlet from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Commuter Club (COG) which includes an application for registration with the Federal Facility Ridesharing Program. The appli- cation is a General Services Administration form complete with a Privacy Act notice. COG is the area's central repository for machine records of Federal employees who are interested in pooling and is "fed" by jurisdictions promoting car and vanpools. The COG application calls for name, address, telephone numbers (home and work), employer and work site. COG conducts surveys of people registered and updates records. No time limit is set for retention of record information which is used to create "ridematch" lists for Federal employees and is not to be used for any other purpose. ? A package from the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) which consists of an applicant form for Rosslyn commuters, a brochure on the "Virginia Van Plan" and assorted literature on the benefits of a vanpool and how to start one with the help of the Commonwealth. Of this material, only the application is of security interest. Information provided is substantially the same as that given to COG; NVTC feeds COG. NVTC also prepares "ridematch" lists and provided a sample copy used for the Rosslyn operation. Records of NVTC are purged after six months from a computer database unless renewed. A note from the Executive Officer for the DDA indicates NVTC had, t. ~:.. ~.,,. s t9 1i' $ i $ tl~tnu~ e ~~_i ire 5N, ?, ., .fin L Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01 CIA-RDP87S00869R000200020001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01: CIA-RDP87S00869R000200020001-2 upon first contact, been advised the Agency could not participate in their program because of cover considerations. This did not prevent forwarding of the material of instant interest which was accompanied by a letter that pointedly commented on the benefits of pooling to relieve traffic congestion "in both Rosslyn and around Langley." LSD/OL plans to respond favorably to the NVTC letter and prepared a letter of commitment for the signature of the Deputy Director of Public Affairs. 2. The first item concerning COG is considered to represent a program unsuited for Agency participation. Registration on a large scale by Agency employees would create a list of overt per- sonnel that would be maintained indefinitely. This in itself is contrary to Agency efforts to avoid creating listings of its people. Further, shifts of employees in or out of cover would jeopardize cover mechanisms. In all, the function of COG as a central repository for what could involve many or most Federal employees over the years is completely inconsistent with the security and cover requirements of the intelligence function. It is recommended that LSD/OL be advised the Office of Security discourages any action that would further erode efforts to prevent public compilation of a roster of CIA employees. 3. The item concerning NVTC must be approached with a mind to the new building. Whenever possible, positive efforts should be made to assuage official and public concern over the impact of consolidation in the Headquarters compound and emphasize the very real Agency aim to cooperate in efforts to minimize traffic congestion. This factor, along with the limited number of our people situated in Rosslyn (further diminished by the.number who would respond) is considered enough to justify acceptance of the NVTC overture; i.e., forwarding the proposed letter to the NVTC and implement the commitment through publication of a Headquarters notice. It is so recommended. STAT ITV Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01: CIA-RDP87S00869R000200020001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01 CIA-RDP87S00869R000200020001-2 1962 GENE .

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE Employee participation in the Federal Facility Ride- sharing Program is voluntary, a private accommoda- tion of employees rather than a Federal activity. Nevertheless, GSA and Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) Commuter Club will observe Privacy Act requirements because participa- tion requires solicitation and collection of personal information. Following are the routine uses of the in- formation collected. All questionnaires are collected for and delivered to COG. Information is converted to machine readable form for computer processing and storage. Individual questionnaires are then destroyed. You may be contacted by COG by phone at work or by mail at home for survey information on the effectiveness of Commuter Club and for up- dating information. COG prepares individual ride- match lists and delivers them to Federal employees. These contain work locations, duty hours and tele- phone numbers of participants. No other use or distri- bution is made of questionnaire information.

By participating in a van pool you will start noticing certain changes in your commuting life: ? You will begin saving about $1,200 a year based on a 30 mile daily round trip. ? You will not be putting as much mileage on your car, which means it will last quite a bit longer with- out repairs or replacement. ? You will arrive at work on time each day without having to deal with traffic, which means you should also be more relaxed. 0 You will be making a large contri- bution to improve the environ- ment, reduce traffic congestion, and save gasoline. You will receive free trans- portation back and forth from work plus private use of the vehicle at night and on weekends. You will receive the first 150 miles of personal use each month free of charge, except for gasoline. You will receive additional savings ? if the need for a car is eliminated. As a passenger: 40 You can use your commuting time to talk with other riders, listen to music, or read the paper - - - all of which beats driving. You could realize a reduction in auto insurance payments. You have no long term commit- ment or obligation. WHAT IS THE VIRGINIA VAN PLAN? The Virginia Van Plan is a van leasing arrangement available statewide to individuals or companies for the pur- pose of van pooling. It is offered through your local ridesharing coordi- nator, participating transit company, and the Public Transportation Division of the Virginia Department of High- ways and Transportation. You can lease a current model luxury van for van pooling. Since it is a statewide, program, it offers a competitive rate which covers all operating expenses (insurance, maintenance, gasoline, oil, tires, every- thing). In addition, you have two differ- ent leasing plans from which to choose. fl,III~~ o nnn a Short Term Lease This is a month to month lease, arrangement. The lessee can terminate the agreement with no further commit- ment by giving 30 days notice. The terms of the agreement are designed for people who would like to try van pool- ing before making a long term commit- ment. III ar~ I wu o 50 Month-20 Percent This plan involves a lease commit- ment of 50 months on a brand new van. In return for making the 50 month commitment, the lessee will have first option to purchase the vehicle at 20 percent of its original cost at the end of the lease. Call the ridesharing coordinator or participating transit company in your area. He or she will be glad to answer all your questions about van pooling and The Virginia Van Plan. Their services are.free; give them a call and learn that it pays to ride with a friend.

In less than a week the application will trigger the mailing of a ridesharing matchlist to the applicants home address. A sample matchlist is included. This can be used by anyone wishing information about car and/or van pooling as a rider or driver or both. If the appropriate box is checked route specific public transit information can be made available. The information provided by the applicant is deleted from the data bank in 6 months unless renewed. No fee is charged for the matchlist. The information is used for the purposes of ridesharing only. STAT STAT The ideal. method of distribution is an all. employee mailing in Rosslyn. We have had this sort of assistance from the DOD and USAID offices located in Rosslyn. Another effective use of the application is as a part of the new employee orientation meterials. Jack Carlile of GSA's ridesharing effort can provide a similar GSA form for on- going use in this capacity. His office number is 557-1288. Most of the local jurisdictions have ridesharing efforts and most including ours feed the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Commuter Club matching service. The list of phone numbers includes local ride- sharing coordinators, public transit information, and other services and options available to the Washington Commuters. I have also included information about vanpooling in general. The NVTC has a program providing interest-free $1000 loan for start up expenses and information about insurance discounts and 100% financing for vanpool vehicles. This material can be distributed in any manner. More of the blue brochures can be made available for bulletin boards and the like.

Suite 300 0 Arlington, Virginia 22201 ^ (703) 524-3322 Vanpool Riders and Drivers Share a Mutual Benefit Vanpools: A group of seven or more commuters who travel to work in a van. The van is usually owned (or leased) by the driver who charges the passengers a monthly fare. The driver recovers all of the costs of owning and operating the van through the fares and may even produce a profit. Van owners also receive significant tax benefits and van passengers receive safe, reliable transportation for much less than the cost of driving alone. Legality: Non-profit vans carrying fifteen or less people are not regulated in Virginia. The same licensing and insurance requirements for private vehicles apply to vanpools. If the van is operated as a profitable business within Virginia, a license is required from the State Corpora- tion Commission. If the van operates as a profitable interstate business, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Commission. Finance Assistance: Virginia residents who live or work in the City of Alexandria, Arlington County, City of Falls Church, Fairfax City, or Fairfax County may qualify for an interest free loan of up to $1,000 to help cover start-up expenses associated with vanpooling. The loans are repayable over a one year period and may be used for insurance premiums, downpayment, operating expenses, etc. At least two banks in the Washington, D.C. area (Riggs and Bank of Virginia) offer 100% financing for the purchase of vans to be used for vanpooling. Generally, these institutions require that qualified applicants purchase new vans and that they develop a list of prospective riders prior to receiving the loans. Vanpool Association: The Virginia Vanpool Association (VVPA) is a non-profit state-wide association of vanpool owners and operators. VVPA has successfully lobbied for legislation to relax restrictions on vanpooling and offers its members discounts on insurance policies and vanpoot equipment such as tires. VVPA also operates a vanpool driver/rider referral system and publishes an informative magazine on current vanpooling issues and problems.

Vanpooling, a program endorsed by the Department of Energy, is an economical, energy-saving means of travelling to work each day. Both van owners and riders can enjoy many benefits by participating in a Vanpool. In return for helping to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, the van owner profits in many ways: ? decreased commuting expenses-drivers pay no fare ? riders' daily fares contribute to payment of the van . loan and personal recreation use of the van evenings and weekends. Riggs offers a complete loan service designed for group commuting. By avoiding the hassles and tension of morning traffic, vanpoolers can conserve their own energy and arrive at the office fresh and relaxed. Vanpooling offers several additional advantages to riders including: ? savings in commuting costs ? guaranteed seating, often with front-door pick-up and ? reduced expenses for personal auto use. To qualify for Riggs 100% van financing, potential van owners must furnish the following: ? an excellent driving record ? a credit worthy history ? a list of at least eight riders who wish to join the Vanpool and ? one back-up driver. Riggs encourages Vanpooling in support of a national commitment to energy conservation. Join us in this effort and start a Vanpool today.

For further information contact: Ike Jarvis or Mike Cook 202-862-5438 o The Van and Driver As a van pool driver you are entitled to commute for free and have personal use of the van. The van will be a fifteen (15) passenger vehicle with dual air conditioning and heating, AM/FM Radio, automatic transmission, power front disc brakes, power steering, and an attractive interior package which includes a digital clock. e Fuel and Maintenance - The driver purchases the gasoline wherever they wish and is reimbursed from the passenger fares - The driver arranges all maintenance on the van. Chrysler requires that work covered under the warranty be performed at a Dodge or Chrysler/Plymouth dealership. Service not covered by warranty or that which will not affect the warranty may be performed wherever you wish. Maintenance over $35.00 must be authorized in advance. - The driver must keep the vehicle clean and provide normal checks to tire air pressure, etc. o Break Downs The driver is responsible for arranging towing, but will be reimbursed for costs incurred. If the van is inoperable, Van Pool Services, Inc. (VPSI) will reimburse for the days it is down. A back up van will be provided, if available, when several days of repair work are anticipated. 9 Insurance VPSI provides insurance for bodily injury, property damage, uninsured motorists and medical payments. o Fares and Fees Fares must be collected in advance. Payment to VPSI is due the first of the month. Payments not received within seven days of their due date will be charged a 5% late fee.

Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/01: CIA-RDP87SO0869R000200020001-2 Example fare calculation: This would fluctuate based on your actual commute milage. 50 mi/day x 21 days = 1050 mi/mo. 1050 mi/mo x .05 = $52.50 operating cost (charged by VPSI) $52.50 + $485 Fixed cost = $537.50 - Total payment due VPSI. Gasoline costs are included in the fare charged, but not paid to VPSI. This money is used by the driver to.purchase gasoline. Gasoline: 1050 mi/mo x 12ct/mi = $126.00 ( Based on a gasoline cost of $1.20/gal. and anticipated 10mi/gal.) The fare then becomes $537.50 + $126.00 = $663.50: 14 passengers = $47.39/mo (assuming free parking) THAT IS ONLY $2.25/day FOR ROUNDTRIP TRANSPORTATION! As the driver you receive 150 miles monthly above the commute mileage for your personal use. Anything over that is charged at 8q/mi. You will be responsible for gasoline for personal use mileage. Additional information is provided in the attached detailed agreement.

Based on our high standards of quality, Voyager wagons include the extensive use of corrosion protection materials Gaivcnized steel :helps protect against rust and corrosion. Plymouth Voyager wagons include the extensive use of corrosion protection materials. Plymouth uses galvanized steel in many critical body areas to help protect against corrosion. To help all sheet metal resist corrosion, the Voyager body is prepared for the primer coat by a six-stage spray phosphcte treatment. Nigh-gloss ccryl;c enamel paint is then used for a durable quciity exterior. This handsome grille with integral heed; ght pane's. and front bumper with optional nerf strips and bumper guards contribute to Plymouth Voyagers modern look Also offered are duel vertically stacked quad rectangular hecc:cmps (optional on standard Voycger models) featuring whites brighter halogen high beams (shown below); smart optional upper and lower side and rear body moldings; and an optional two tone exterior paint procedure.
