SUBJECT Invitation from CIA
DAVID SCgOUMACHER: The CIA tonight did the unheard of;
it issued an invitation to the general public to come on in and
chat.
The agency is trying to head off building community opposit-
ion to a planned .expansion at its MacLean headquarters.
Night Team's Carlos Ramirez has the story. Carlos.
CARLOS RAMIREZ: David, the CIA opened its doors tonight
about as far as it can. In our case that meant no cameras, no
recorders, only notebooks. Anything else was considered a security
risk.
Still, the invitation only meeting of about 300 area resi-
dents with CIA, state and federal highway officials was historic.
In the words of a Deputy Director, the Office of Security is still
in a state of shock.
At issue is the-$190 million project for a new office build-
ing which will house 3,000 agency's employees now at other area
locations. Area residents are afraid the new employees will bring
.with them new traffic problems.
The CIA headquarters has two entrances. The main gate off
of Chain Bridge Road and the entrance on the George ~~Tashington
Parkway. Residents, many of whom live along Routes 123 and 193
want the new traffic re-routed to the parkway entrance, which
they point out is a federal highway, eligible for federal highway
funds.
The CIA, which points out that the parkway at rush hour
now is filled to capacity, plans to stagger employees' schedules
