1. The Panel members should be made aware at the outset that
there is a unique constraint on how much of our computer resource
is removed from Langley. If it is assumed that all computers are
removed, then the Agency will be left with approximately 150,000
square, feet of space that can not be used effectively. This is a
result of the transportation constraints associated with the
local road network that prevent us from increasing the employee
.population after consolidation. This would also reflect on the
powerhouse and utility systems since we have sized the capital
investment to carry 200,000 square feet of major electronic
systems.
2. We are currently estimating approximately 150,000 square
feet of computer and communication centers at Langley in 1987.
Projected growth rate for these centers is approximately 5,000
square feet per year beyond 1987. This provides a decade of
expansion before we again hit the hard limits on utilities.
While that would require displacement of approximately 400
employees, it does provide latitude for timing implementation of
Panel recommendations to coincide with any expected technological
innovations that may be helpful in remoting ADP.
3. To state the obvious, utility systems provided for a
remote processing facility should exceed the reliability and
survivability of the systems we are providing at Langley if we
are to maintain the same level of service to the Headquarters
customers.

1. I is Chairman of a,CIA Computer Study
Panel, and the Office of Logistics has been asked to provide an
overview of Logistics considerations. The Office of Logistics
overview for the CIA Computer Study Panel will be presented to
the panel on 5 November 1984. Attached herewith is. a draft of
the Panel's Charter. While the Logistics overview will address
the specific issues listed below, any relevant Logistics data
will be provided to the panel in the initial briefing or as
subsequently required by the panel.;
2. The specific Logistics considerations are:
Facility considerations for a leased or
government-owned remote building to house ADP
processors/storage.
b. Possible limits on a remote facility in the
Washington Area.
c. Personnel considerations in selecting remote
locations.
3. Please provide by 30 October 1984, any relevant
information on Logistics issues to make our input to the
panel's study as complete as possible. Information should be
sent to Room 3E24 Headquarters.
