Dear Mr. Chairman:
Thank you for your memorandum of April 13 with regard to
the off-site road improvements necessary for CIA to expand its
facility and their impact on the Evermay Community Association
(as well as other surrounding communities-1. Since receipt of
the memo, the Evermay Community Association Board of Directors
met with residents and representatives of surrounding
communities which will also be impacted by the project, and,
because of their deep concerns and anxieties generated by this
project, will be submitting their comments to you directly.
STAT
After discussions last week with your staff and the VDH&T
staff, it appears that any current plans/drawings of the off-
site road improvements are tentative, and that firm plans/drawings
will probably be available for review by mid-summer or early
Fall. Attached are copies of our December 7, 1981, and January 6,
1982, letters which. we present to the Commission to again emphasize
our concerns about this project. Again, we request that they be
inserted into the record and brought to the attention of all
Commissioners for serious consideration and action. In addition
and for the record, the Evermay Community Association wishes to
reserve final comments on a off-site road improvements
necessary for CIA's expansion until more firm plans/drawings
are available for review.
in the meantime, we urge the. Commission to consider every
possible alternative for additional road construction and
entrances and egresses that will eliminate or substantially
reduce the already overburdened road traffic in this area.
With Route 193 designated an historical highway and limited to
two lanes, we feel it is imperative that alternative(_sl be
designed and developed to transfer some of the increased
traffic load from the very heavily traveled corridors of
Routes 123-193.

Mr. T. Eugene Smith
Vice Chairman, National Capitol Planning
Commission
666 Tintegel Lane
McLean, Virginia 22101
At the McLean Community Association's monthly Board of
Directors' meeting held on December 2, we were shown plans by
the CIA for that institutions expansion of the building facilities
and personnel at Langley. We of the Evermay Commmunity, as well as
other communities, have serious concerns regarding CIA's choice of
options in formulating these plans and we wish to express them to
you in the hope that you will be of some assistance.
It is our understanding that the Commission will be reviewing
the CIA proposal in early January for approval or disapproval. Since
the Evermay Community is located directly across from (and adjacent
to) the CIA gate on Route 123, its plans impact on us in a very direct
way both in regard to extra traffic loading and location of antennae
close to Route 123.
I am sure you are aware of the current traffic problem on Route
123 between Evermay and G.W. Parkway and, in the opposite direction,
to Tyson's Corner. We are at a loss in understanding CIA's decision
to concentrate the added traffic load on the Route 123 gate rather
than on the G.W. Parkway where it obviously appears to be more
efficient and acceptable to the,camnunity residents. It is apparent
to us (and to many other community representatives who attended the
December 2nd meetingj, that more. acceptable alternatives have not been
fully considered by CIA planners. More specifically, why not make
more use of the obviously much more direct access and egress gate
on G.W. Parkway, leaving the less heavy truck traffic to the 123/193
routes? It appeared that feasible alternatives which seemed both
more efficient and, at the same time, much more acceptable to
community residents were discarded in favor of technical solutions
generated bya highly impersonal computer that totally disregarded
community relations and the public welfare.
We are also extremely concerned over the present and future
electric power requirements for the expanded CIA facility. Attached
is a copy of a letter which clearly illustrates our concern here in
Evermay. You surely must be aware of the VEPCO/Pairfax County case
regarding the high-power transmission lines that were erected by
VEPCO directly through the middle of Evermay, 50 feet'from front doors.

0 Mr. T. Eugene Smith Page 2
The residents of Evermay have been involved since 1977 in efforts
to have these high-power transmission lines either rerouted or buried.
We are now seriously apprehensive over CIA's voltage requirements
and the re-inforcing of VEPCO's policy to cover our landscape with
unsightly and potentially dangerous high-power lines and massive
towers especially since the CIA representatives informed us that
large amounts of computer and communications equipment would be
installed in the planned additional 1.1 million square feet of
office space. Will the residents of Evermay and other surrounding
areas be the taxpayers/ratepayers who will suffer more and more
from increased voltage lines hung from abominable towers? Will our
health be endangered due to increased activity of equipment and
the generation of strong electro-magnetic fields? Did the CIA/GSA
environmental impact statement address this issue? As of December 2nd,
no one at the McLean Citizens Association had seen a copy of the EIS,
much less the residents of this community. One person, co-chair
of the McLean Citizens Association's Transportation Committee, had
seen the Environmental Assessment, but had only received it on the
previous Friday to the Wednesday meeting. How has VEPCO been involved
in this planning? Has our Congressional delegation been involved?
Surely you can understand our concern and you will see fit to
O disapprove the present plan AND recommend highly feasible changes
so that CIA would be able to meet its objectives without negatively
impacting on its neighbors.
One further serious concern of ours involves CIA's decision to
locate its planned meeting center and large disc antennae at the
Route 123 gate. With all the space available to it further into
its grounds and away from public roads and view, why has CIA
elected to place the center and the antennae as close as it possibly
can to its neighbors? They should be placed further into the campus,
away from public roads and surrounding homes.
hearing from you.
Having presented a summary of our concerns here, we would like
to know if it would be possible for us to present our views to the
National Capitol Planning Commission in person and if so, at what
point would that be appropriate? Any information you can supply
us about this matter and about your meeting date and agenda would
be sincerely appreciated.
If you have any questions, please call me at during STAT
business hours, or We look forward to STAT
with best wishes, I am,
Sincerely,

Dear
6 June 1979
This is in response to your 10 May inquiry about possible CIA
participation in the VEPCO decision to upgrade the transmission lines
between CIA/Idylwood/Tyson's Corner substations. CIA did not request
the upgrading. Furthermore, the project will not increase our power
supply.
0 The CIA substation is located on U.S. Government property within
the CIA compound. but the CIA is a VEPCO customer like other area users
and has no voice in VEPCO policy. VEPCO informed the CIA in August 197=
that it had received permission from the State Corporation Commission of
Virginia to rebuild the transmission lines in the area. VEPCO, in
accordance with its agreement with the U.S. Government, requested written
permission from the CIA for work to be done within CIA boundaries. We
replied that we had no objection to the project. but we did not specifically
approve it.
I hope this information meets your needs. We will be happy to
answer any other questions you might have on the subject.
Sincerely,

Re: CIA Expansion
Dear Mr. Urquhart:
Representatives of the Lynwood Homeowners
Association recently had the opportunity to review your
memorandum of April 13 distributed to some of the citizen's
associations in the vicinity of the Central Intelligence
Agency. For your information and for purposes of future
notices, please be advised that Lynwood is a community of
approximately 45 homes and additional undeveloped lots on
the south side of Route 123 just west of the Evermay sub-
division. Your memorandum was supplied to us by the Evermay
Community Association. Please include us on the mailing list
for all future notices.
We have had an opportunity to discuss the CIA
expansion with members of that association and members of
the Clearview Manor Citizens Association. Our concern with
the CIA Headquarters expansion deals principally with the
off-site road improvements tentatively proposed for the area
in front of the CIA entrance and adjacent to the intersec-
tion of Routes 123 and Route 193. We understand from the
administrators of the Virginia Department of Highways and
Transportation that the road improvements are in the process
of being finalized with the assistance of the design office
of that department and a consultant.

In connection with those improvements, your memorandum of
April 13 solicited written comments by this date in advance
of the June 1983 meeting when adoption of the "proposed
federal capital improvements program for the national capi-
tal region" is tentatively scheduled. Accordingly, we have
these preliminary comments and suggestions:
1. We believe that the NCPC should require that an
updated traffic study of the Routes 123 and 193 corridors be
conducted to determine the level of traffic in that area
particularly during the morning and evening rush hours. Any
study conducted during the next few months should take into
account the fact that during the summer months the traffic
along those roads appears to diminish somewhat. We trust
that any updated traffic studies will be made available to
the neighboring citizens associations for their examination.
2. Based on our discussions with the VDH&T staff,
it appears that the current off-site proposal, a copy of
which is attached, calls for three overpasses located
approximately where the traffic signals currently are in
front of the CIA and at the intersection of Route 123 and
Route 193. The final plans scheduled for this summer may
vary from the current proposal. Accordingly, we request
that the drawings be placed in the public record immediately
and that copies of the final plans be made available to us
for comment well in advance of the public hearing.
3. We are very concerned that the CIA may not have
considered all possible alternatives to the current propo-
sal. One such alternative would be for the CIA to design
off-site road changes for the GW Parkway entrance to the CIA
grounds in coordination with the National Park Service and
Interior Department. We believe that the GW Parkway
entrance is currently under-utilized and that traffic stu-
dies will demonstrate that to be true. Alteration of the GW
Parkway entrance to the CIA in lieu of changes to the Route
123 entrance would have the beneficial result of reducing
traffic noise and other adverse environmental impact in the
Route 123 and Route 193 area. Given the substantial wooded
borders lining the Parkway which serves as a green barrier
between it and the few homes nearby, the environmental
impact of the changes on the Parkway would be minimal when
compared to the proposed changes to Routes 123 and 193 where
many homes are located.

liminary comments and welcome the opportunity to so so in

mation regarding the interests of the Lynwood Homeowners

Re: CIA Headquarters Consolidation
Dear Mr. Urquhart:
The Clearview Manor Citizens Association has the
following preliminary comments with respect to the CIA
Headquarters Consolidation proposal and, in particular, its
,potential impact on off-site roads. For your information,
Clearview Manor is the area directly across Route 123 from
the CIA. The area has approximately 110 homes and also
includes several undeveloped parcels of land.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment at this
time and would like a further opportunity to do so before
the proposal is finalized. We suggest that NCPC develop a
more definite proposal and then provide interested parties
an opportunity to review and comment upon it. We believe
that it is essential that any problems with off-site road
conditions be identified and corrected before additional
employees are transferred to CIA.
Our association held a general meeting on may 10 to
discuss the proposal. Although our review was limited by
the preliminary status of the project, we did identify
several potential areas of concern. We also identified some
deficiencies in the material available in the NCP C files.
For example, the traffic study upon which the plan
for off-site roads is to be based was conducted in the
summer of 1981. Even recognizing that this was "seasonally
adjusted", these are obviously the months with the least
volume of commuter and school traffic. Moreover, a study
done almost two years ago does not take into account the
substantial residential and commercial development which has
occurred in the Route 123 and Route 193 corridors. The pro-
jection that the opening of 1-66 will reduce traffic using
Route 123 is questionable. Insofar as the residents of
Clearview Manor can determine, no such reduction has
occurred. We also question the reliance upon car-pooling as

a means of reducing the expected traffic from the additional
CIA employees. Based upon the criticism of HOV regulations
applicable to 1-95 and 1-66, there does not appear to be any
basis to expect that CIA employees will use car-pools to any
greater extent than the general population.
In short, we feel that more reliable off-site traf-
fic studies are required. Those studies must recognize and
deal with the reasonable concerns of residents in the area.
Our first and primary concern is traffic safety. As you
will note from the rudimentary project map, Merchant Lane
enters Route 123 very near the CIA entrance. This is the
primary road used by residents of Clearview Manor to gain
access to Route 123. Unfortunately, Route 123 curves just
before it reaches the entrance to Merchant Lane so that
entering cars have very little opportunity to see on-coming
traffic or to be seen by on-coming traffic. This dangerous
condition is aggravated by the fact that school buses also
use Merchant Lane in the morning. Any development which
could increase traffic flow or change traffic patterns will
have a potentially adverse impact on the safe use of
Merchant Lane. We urge that this factor be considered
before final action is taken.
We are concerned that any installation and
sequencing of new traffic lights take into account and con-
sider the impact of in-bound traffic passing Merchant Lane.
Especially during the morning rush hour, breaks in traffic
on Route 123 at Merchant Lane seem to be attributable to the
sequence of traffic lights in McLean. The possible
installation of new traffic lights at Potomac School Road
and on Route 193 could disrupt this situation.
The increased traffic congestion, which will
increase noise and air pollution in direct proportion to the
number of additional vehicles commuting to CIA, will
directly affect the residents of Clearview Manor. We would
like to know how this problem will be resolved. In this
connection, we ask that you identify any environmental
impact statement which considers this problem.
Again, we request that NCPC schedule a meeting with
affected residents in the area to consider the above matters
as well as other concerns. Representatives of the Clearview
Manor Citizens Association are ready to meet with represen-
tatives of NCPC and other governmental units to discuss this
project and our suggestions for improvements.

The Country Day School continues to have an active interest in
anything impacting on the Langley Fork intersection of Georgetown
Pike. This is the Fork where "Old" Chain Bridge Road intersects with
Georgetown Pike.
Because we service 230 cars a day carrying young children and
their parents, we feel it is our responsibility to call this dan-
gerous intersection to your attention.
The additional traffic due to the new building expansion at the
CIA only serves to increase the likelihood of a serious and tragic
accident at this intersection.
I feel now that it is imperative that the lack of visibility
be corrected by the simple removal of the small hill crest at this
intersection--this removal appeared in the drawings of VDH&T for
projected improvements.
The Country Day School requests that appropriate public
hearings be scheduled regarding the acceptability of the road im-
provement plan that is currently being developed in conjunction
with the Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters Consolidation,
and that the Country Day School be given the opportunity to review
the final plan at least thirty days prior to.such public hearing.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

I am contacting you on behalf of the residents of this
community. We are concerned about certain features of the CIA
expansion project in this area as it relates to traffic
congestion and the expansion of utility systems which already
are intruding obtrusively on our neighborhoods.
We attended a briefing of the expansion project at the
McLean Community Center several months ago and have had a
briefing here in our neighborhood for the members of our
Association. We have found the CIA to be very cooperative in
this respect. We understand the need for their expansion, but
are concerned over the impact it will have on the already
congested roads, the safety of our families and children,
and the aesthetic value of our community. We have voiced our
concern and recommended that they access the new facility
through an already existing access off the George Washington
Parkway or develop a new access off the Parkway to remove the
bulk of the traffic off Routes 123 and 193. We were told that a
transportation plan would be developed, but we haven't seen
it. Needless to say that we were unpleasantly surprised to
hear through the Evermay Citizen's Association that the project
is proceeding insensitively and is currently to be reviewed
by your Commission.
We have met with the Board of Directors of the Evermay
Citizens Association. They advised us oftheir recent contacts
with you, and we would like to express our appreciation to you
for the opportunity which you have given to the citizens of this
area to participate in the review of the plan. We will be working
with the Evermay Association on this. We indorse their letter
of May 6, 1983 to you and request a continuance of your review
until we have an opportunity to review and comment ran the CIA plan
in its entirety.

NCPC
Reference: NCPC Memorandum of April 13, 1983, regarding NCPC File No. 1485,
Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters Consolidation
The Potomac School has been provided a copy of the referenced memorandum
and appreciates the National Capital Planning Commission recognizing that
the Central Intelligence Agency program might have an adverse off-site im-
pact on The Potomac School and its constituency.
The Potomac School would like to express to you its deepest concern for the
potential adverse effect of the additional traffic generated by the CIA
e#pansion program. We understand that a road improvement plan is being
prepared, but it is not yet completed and it is not available for review at
this time.
It is requested that any approval granted by NCPC be subject to the require-
ment that appropriate and acceptable road improvements will be constructed
before additional Central Intelligence Agency employees are brought on site.
It is also requested that appropriate public hearings be scheduled regarding
the acceptability of the road improvement plan that is currently being
developed, and that The Potomac School be given the opportunity to review
the final plan at least thirty days prior to such public hearing.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
STAT

Mr. Sam Frazier
National Capitol Planning
Commission
1325 G Street, N. W.
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Frdzier:
Much to our dismay, representatives from the
Evermay Community Association will be unable to
appear personally before the Commission's meeting
on January 7 with regard to the issue of CIA's
expansion.
Since our letter of December 7 (copy attached),
we have had a meeting with Congressman Frank Wolf,
Mrs. Nancy Falck, and representatives from the CIA/
VEPCO/McLean Citizens Association. Even though Mr. Wolf
and Mrs. Falck are working with the National Park Service
and the CIA/National Capitol Planning Commission,
respectivefully, we still have concerns and would
appreciate having our December 7 letter (with its
enclosure) plus this letter read into the record at
your hearing tomorrow.
I am truly sorry that we cannot personally repre-
sent our community and appreciate this opportunity of
so doing. If there are any questions, please call at
during the work day.
With best wishes and many thanks,
