2. With regard to your request for another 2,500-3,000 square feet of
space r your new division, I wish I had better news. As you are aware,

25X1 occupy The earliest
any space will be freed up in this
complex will be in 1988 when the New Headquarters Building occupation begins.

3. One alternative that comes to mind is the

poss
e sharing of
c
25X1 lready housing DS&T elements. I believe the Office
ust extended its sublease with
25X1 for space in
u- in e
25X1 area or one more year. This was to give us sufficient time either to secure
Iron r-term lease on it with the incoming lessor to carry OSO through the
25X1
struction period, or to find another location. Our tour of the
25X1 Building space, which OSO has occupied for some time, indicated

4. There is, of course, the alternative of renting additional separate
commercial space. The relatively small
25X1 that you have already housed ur new division and the fact
suggest this would not b employees it will have,

money well spent given the fit-up and communications
costs involved. It can be done, however, . you bu et will support it.F_

non-starter, you let us add your requirement to the growing list of such
requests that we maintain, and be patient with us while we look for a
reasonable Once the block layouts for the space being allocated to
25X1 the group are complete, we will have a better handle on any
2430 E Street and Key Building excess capacities. At that point we will be in
a better sition rmine what course of action to take in the remaining
25X1 period.

anticipating problems in the near future. Nothing in this organization

we requested, but did not receive, an
additional 2,432 square feet of space as a hedge against the possibility
of program growth. At that time we were in the planning phase of a large
new collection effort but did not have any guarantee that it would be
approved. In September the Executive Committee gave us the go-ahead to
begin the new collection program. To undertake this effort we have
established a new division, NED, and are rapidly proceeding to bring in
the personnel necessary to manage the project. You can see from the
attached organizational chart that we now have a space requirement for
25X1 additional L people. At the present time members of the new

3. The consolidation of OS e place was the primary concern in
25X1 decision to request space in Building. Having achieved this
goal, we now are faced with the prospect of having to look again for more
space to house a growing program office. We will require an additional
2,500 to 3,000 square feet to house the new division.. The latter figure
