MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence
Deputy Director for Operation
Deputy Director for Science-and Technology
FROM: William F. Donnelly
Deputy Director for Administration
1. The Office of Logistics (OL) has informed me that we are now within
six months of beginning to occupy the New Headquarters Building (NHB). An
extensive planning effort has been underway to assure that the moves of Agency
components are accomplished in an efficient and least disruptive manner. In
the course of this planning, however, there have been indications that some
Agency components are straying from the design concept of the NHB. I take
this opportunity to reiterate three ground rules which have been conveyed to
the components moving into the NHB by the Office of Logistics' Chief,
Integrated Logistics Support Program.
2. The NHB is secured for open shelf storage; as a result, the need for
safes will be dramatically reduced. The use of conservafiles will be greatly
expanded. OL planners will be working with each component to solve storage
issues. As has been suggested before, this represents an excellent
opportunity to destroy or archive old files. We intend to hold to the rule
that safes should not usually be included in an office's proposed move to the
NHB.
3. Regarding furniture, the NHB was designed for maximum flexibility and
an open office landscape design, with few exceptions. OL has requested and
received funding from components moving to the NHB in order to make a
consolidated purchase of Corry Hiebert modular furniture. This furniture fits
into the NHB and works well with the partial height partitions that have been
included in the basic construction package. Offices are encouraged to stay
with this program and not plan on moving other furniture into the NHB. Thus,
the rule, with the exception of executive furnishings, OL will not move
non-Corry Hiebert furniture into the NHB and is not preparing to stock for
future NHB support, other than this modular furniture.
4. The actual occupancy of the NHB will be a year long process beginning
in January 1988. Because this effort will tax the resources of the Offices of
Logistics, Information Technology, and Security, as well as their respective
cleared contractors, it will not be possible to accommodate anything other
than minor changes to the spaces as built in the NHB. Therefore, the rule,

components will be required to move into space as is and wait until all the
moves are completed before we consider reconfiguration requests. We are aware
this may strain some organizational integrity in that components will not
necessarily be in contiguous space. Attempts to modify spaces before total
occupancy will delay and unnecessarily complicate the move into the NHB.
5. While some pain may be encountered, I request each of you to support
the rules described above within your Directorates.
