1. As you may be aware, the Office of Logistics is in the
process of preparing a detailed space plan for the Agency through
the year 2000. The relocation of the Office of Research and
Development (ORD) is an integral piece of that plan. We are
within several weeks of presenting this comprehensive plan to the
DDA and then to the EXCOM for review and approval. In view of
this situation, we suggest that no action be taken regarding the
acquisition of additional new space until the plan is approved.
2. In our proposed plan, we have made provision for ORD to
be relocated to an external building some time in 1989. Assuming
that we gain EXCOM approval this is in line with ORD's desires.

2. Our assessment of the need to find new, interim quarters for ORD is
based upon our understanding of the following facts:
The Ames Building lease expires in January 1989. A one-
year option to extend the lease until January 1990 has been
exercised. An extension of the lease until the end of 1992
has been requested through GSA, but no reply has yet been
received.
which ORD is scheduled
to occupy, will not be c2matt2ljaaja. An
extension on the Ames Building lease, even if it were
available, might still not be long enough to bridge the gap
to our move-out date.
We are out of room in the Ames Building, which we have
occupied since 1962, in both laboratory and office space.
We appreciate your offer to reserve 6,000 sq. ft. on the
9th floor of Ames for 1989 occupancy. Given our current
space shortages and planned growth, this will not provide
adequate quarters for the next 4-to-5 years. This period
is too long to consider temporary expedients.

SUBJECT: ORD Space Requirements
The Ames Building configuration lacks the flexibility we
need to support our multifaceted activities. For example,
we find it increasing difficult to support an ever-growing
number of automated systems because of the attendant
demands on the outmoded electrical and air conditioning
systems. We have insufficient room to accommodate our new
Artificial Intelligence Lab and can provide little working
space for ORD and Community analysts using the equipment.
And, we lack the conference rooms we need to accommodate
on-site meetings with our customers, community co-workers
and contractors involved in ORD projects.
Employee and visitor parking is grossly inadequate. We
currently lease over 50 parking spaces from a commercial
parking lot in Rosslyn, but we find the arrangement
unsatisfactory and having a detrimental effect on employee
morale.
-- Ames Building, with in-building parking areas easily
accessed by passersby, raises serious security concerns.
3. ORD has two primary requirements for new off.ice space:
We need approximately ,00O sq. office space to
accommodate the current level and projected growth in our
staff and activities. Space requirements by ORD component
