UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
? OFFICE OF
THE PUBLIC PRINTER
December 5, 1956
Hon. Allen W. Dulles
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
2430 E Street NW.
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Dulles:
Your letter of November 19, 1956, proposes the transfer to
the Central Intelligence Agency of the Government-Printing Office.
printing plant located in your administrative building. .
The language of the proposed transfer is satisfactory to me
and I hereby concur in and recommend approval by the Joint Comaittee
on Printing of the proposal contained in your letter of November 19,
1956, supported by Annexes A, B, and C. Please note that I have added
approximately 357 items of machinery and equipment to Annexes A and C.
All of these items have been fully depreciated except item K6480 in
Annex CI which is for a rack that was manufactured in 1955 with $154.09
still remaining to be depreciated.
Subject to approval of the Joint Committee on Printing, and
immediately thereafter, I suggest that representatives of the Central
Intelligence Agency and the Government Printing Office apprise all em-
ployees of the subject printing plant of the plan to transfer control
of the plant to the Central Intelligence Agency, at which time all em-
ployees might beurged to accept transfer to the Central Intelligence
Agency to provide uninterrupted service by that plant. The approxi- -
mately 70 employeeswho accepted assignment from the Government Print-
ing Office since February 1, 1947, when the plant Was placed under Gov-
ernment-Printing Office management, should be advised of t'-,eir preroga-
tive to transfer to the Central Intelligence Agency rolls or return to
the Government Printing Office. This would be in keeping with thelpol-
icy of the Government Printing Office to insure that employees who were
requested to accept assignment to the subject printing plant have their
interests fully protected by the Government Printing Office.
. The lists of Supplies, etc.,- which would be transferred to
the Central Intelligence Agency will be prepared by the Government Print-
ing Office at the time of transfer of the plant.

Hon. Allen W. Dulles
It is my opinion that the interests of the Government will
be served best by transferring the operations of this plant to the
Central Intelligence Agency in view of the impending relocation and
your plan to consolidate this plant with other printing units now
operated by your Agency.
Sincerely,
