A test will be made in the Inspector General (IG) office Area. The sound level transmission through the hollow walls of an office will be measured. These walls will be filled to capacity with blown insulation. The sound level transmission test will be repeated. If the sound attenuating results are adequate the process will be implemented elsewhere in response to component requests. The cost estimate to blow insulation into an existing hollow wall is $1.25 per square foot of surface. The test is planned for the week of 6 November.

Aerial assignments were usually conducted at the request of the Office of Security (OS) to assist in both the identification and protection of Agency buildings and property. In the early 1970's, however, the Office of Logistics (OL) assumed the responsibility of providing photographers for these assignments. Since that time, the mission has grown to the point that the OL Printing and Photography Group (P&PG) provides several highly skilled professionals to satisfy a large variety of aerial photographic requirements. These requirements include valuable assistance in the planning of OL support activities such as construction, traffic flow, and parking. During the past few years, the New Headquarters Building (NHB) project kept OL/P&PG photographers busy recording the progress of the NHB as it emerged from a hole in the ground to an embryonic steel skeleton that grew into an impressive, modern, functional structure. Aerial coverage was provided at 90 day intervals and covered not only the NHB, but the numerous engineering improvements to the Headquarters Compound and the realignment of Routes 123 and 193. Currently, P&PG photographers are generating a photographic record of the expansion at the Have you ever wondered what is required to satisfy the logistics of an aerial photography requirement? There are several important factors. First, the technical aspects of film, camera, and aircraft are paramount. After that is the weather, the season, and the time of day. Although high-noon on a clear day is preferred, good results can be achieved when conditions are partly cloudy. Seasonally, early Spring or late Fall is best. (Washington Area Summers are not noted for their crystal clear days and the Winter presents other problems, especially if the ground is covered with snow.) Another consideration is the fact that the photographer usually works from a plane in which one of the doors has been removed-the photographer has been strapped in, so far! If you think it is cold on the ground in February, try a couple of hours at several thousand feet in an "open" cockpit. (Incidentally, this is P&PG's favorite time to break in a new photographer!) Then there is consideration of locale. Taking pictures of the Headquarters Compound is a real problem due to the proximity of National Airport. The Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) impose very strict limits on the altitude and time allowed in this area because the Headquarters Compound is in the flight path of most "traffic" in and out of National. Furthermore, the ATCs are not witting of the fact that the plane flying around the compound is on "official business," so we don't get any special treatment. The other concern of the ATCs is one of aerodynamics-a large plane flying at the slow speeds encountered during takeoff and landing can literally knock a small plane out of the sky! And one last thought, it's request of the amazing how excited Agency personnel can get when a small plane is continually circling overhead RET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/22 : CIA-RDP91-0028OR000300360006-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/22 : CIA-RDP91-0028OR000300360006-6 SECRET 25X1 25X1 That's only the beginning. What about the relationship between the pilot and the photographer? You can really get some interesting shots of the sun when the pilot banks left while you're trying to take pictures to the right! The pilot has to know what the photographer is trying to accomplish of the best and maneuver the aircraft in such a manner that we get excellent pictures. This isn't easy when you consider the fact that we're saying "lower, lower" while the FAA Flight Regulations say "higher, higher." pilots are some Unfortunately, detailed records are not available regarding the number of photographs taken over the years, but take P&PG's word that the workload has been substantial. So the next time you see a small plane circling over your building, just wave and smile... you might well be on the Agency's version CIA of "aid Camera" Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/22 : CIA-RDP91-0028OR000300360006-6
