I would aiso like to point out that certain assumptions which
appear to have hemmed* in the Clarke report with relation to
the adequasies of the access en& certain facilities are open to
serious question. I refer to the reeommendation of the Clarke
report for a 44ene section of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway extending from Chain !ridge to the site whereas plans
have never called iter mars than four.
Further, the sewage treatment plant authorised for Construction
by Fairfax County in the Plamat Run Telleyprior to the advent of
the CIA Ms provision for a maxima cepacity of 7,500 persona in
the first stale of construction. This was presumably designed
antivalyfor residential connections. It would appear to me that
a justifiable question cant* raised, regarding the adequacy of
this initial installation to accommodate an office establishment
of 10,000 or more persons without assurance that the plant will be
enlarged to accommodate this unanticipated overload.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
JAN 23 1956
Mr. Harland Bartholomew
Chairman
National Capital Planning Commission
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr._ Bartholomew:
Thank you for your letter of 16 December 1955 with which you
transmitted (1) the report and recommendation prepared by a Com-
mittee of the National Capital Planning Commission, and (2) a re-
port and recommendations of the National Capital Regional Planning
Council, together with statements of certain local planning agencies.
I am, of course, disappointed in the adverse action taken by
the National Capital Planning Commission in a vote of 6 to 5 against
our proposal to locate the headquarters of the Central Intelligence
Agency at Langley, particularly in view of the earlier action of the
National Capital Regional Planning Council to approve of the Langley
site by a vote of 5 to 3.
Members of my staff and our consultants have carefully re-
viewed the reports you have submitted, together with the accompany-
ing recommendations, and it is requested that your Commission re-
view further our proposal to establish a new headquarters for the
Central Intelligence Agency at Langley, the most suitable site that
we have found and the one which will best enable us to carry out the
important mission that the Congress of the United States has en-
trusted to us.
Our authorization and appropriation were obtained with the
clear understanding that while we were exempted from "dispersal"
we would at the same time definitely not locate in the District of
Columbia but, rather, on the fringe of the metropolitan area of
greater Washington. It is important to us to have the Agency head-
quarters situated on the west side of the Potomac in order to con-
form with emergency measures that already have been taken.
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/20: CIA-RDP78-04506A000300020001-5
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/20: CIA-RDP78-04506A000300020001-5
Other major factors that were taken into consideration in our
report to you included the accessibility of the site to several key
points, generally in the Northwest District of Columbia and adjacent
Virginia areas as well as accessibility or convenience to the homes
of the majority of the Agency personnel.
We recognize the high residential value of the area surround-
ing the Government-owned reservation of 749.5 acres at Langley.
We would wish to keep this surrounding area as it is, for to do so
would better suit our own requirements for a semi-rural setting for
the CIA headquarters.
For reasons heretofore given, we believe that the character of
the surrounding lands may be preserved for residential use as "a
community of low density, single family houses." There is no mate-
rial evidence that our development "would eventually disrupt the
entire community and require residential densities of land use and
commercial development of a nature not dreamed of when the long
range plans for the development of Fairfax County were drawn up."
In our representations to the Commission we indicated clearly
that approximately 75 per cent of the automobiles (3,000 cars)
going to and from the Langley site would use the proposed George
Washington Memorial Parkway; approximately 25 per cent of the
automobiles (1, 000 cars) of residents of Virginia would use the west
entrance to the Reservation from Route 123. This means that the
large majority of the CIA employees would enter and leave the site
on the Potomac River or Parkway side of the Reservation and there-
by have little or no contact with the surrounding community. We
shall provide attractive cafeterias in the development for our em-
ployees so that there will be no need for them to leave the Reserva-
tion during the luncheon recess; in other words, there will be no
need for shops and for other commercial development on the peri-
phery of the Reservation to serve our employees; in fact, we would *
prefer none.
As we see it, this proposed development of ours at Langley
is not an ordinary type that planners may place in a category which
fits the pattern of other concentrations of people brought together
for eight hours a day. The proponents and the objectors to the use
of the Langley site for the CIA headquarters have expressed their
views with respect to the nature of the impact of this development
upon the surrounding areas. We believe that this is a very special
problem and, as such it is our considered judgment that the CIA
can use lands already owned by the Government in the manner we
have described so that the presence of this Agency at Langley will
become an asset rather than a liability to the surrounding community.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/20: CIA-RDP78-04506A000300020001-5
We shall lend every possible aid to this end, and, in these circum-
stances, we believe that the result will be acceptable to the large
majority of persons who, for one reason or another, have expressed
an interest in this matter. The fact that the officials of the County
and a substantial majority of the people of the County desire to have
us located at the Langley site seems, in a large measure, to prove
our point. I am sure that you are aware of the results of the poll
taken by Congressman Broyhill which indicate that 73. 3 per cent
of the voters of Fairfax County favor locating CIA at Langley with
only 17. 9 per cent opposing it, and 8.8 per cent having no opinion.
It is also significant that each of the seven magisterial districts
heavily favor locating CIA at Langley and in the Dranesville District,
which includes Langley, voters favor this site by a 1789 to 517
margin.
The prognostications with respect to the result of "impact" are
largely conjectural. I believe that our argument is predicated upon
realistic observations that fit into the very special situation which
involves the proposed move of the CIA to Langley. We see no reason,
for example, why the present zoning is necessarily "susceptible to
successful downgrading by determined speculative interests," or
that the location of CIA at Langley will necessarily "stimulate urban
developments with explosive and detrimental force in violent conflict
with the Master Plan." The area surrounding the Government Reserva-
tion at Langley will develop more houses, whether or not the CIA is
situated there. I say this because the area is not distant from the City
of Washington and with the arterial improvements and the installation
of the approved sewer lines in the Pimmit Run water shed, growth is
inevitable. Both of these improvements were planned long before
CIA contemplated going to Langley. Any "impact" resulting in a rise
in land values when forcing "zoning and regulatory changes, to permit
high cost improvements, residential and commercial, in order that
the tax increases would be sufficient to carry the burden of improve-
ments, " will be because of the normal development of the area which
was already preparing for an increased population long before the
CIA project at Langley was considered. The CIA contemplates pay-
ing the prevailing rates charged by the local municipalities and by
the private utility corporations for services provided. Is it not true
that the five year old Master Plan (Comprehensive Plan for the
National Capital and its Environs) is a guide, and as such must be
reviewed periodically to adjust its sights to new times, conditions
and the needs of the Community? No doubt there will be changes,
for no Master Plan can remain static in the light of the changes that
are taking place now and that will take place even without CIA at
Langley.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/20: CIA-RDP78-04506A000300020001-5
It interested me to note that the 1950 Comprehensive Plan shows
a "decentralized government center" at the Langley site, and in view
of the minimum relocation of Agency personnel residence which we
anticipate, it would seem to us to be an eminently appropriate site
for the use we propose.
Our consultant's report, dated 25 October 1955, together with
their supplemental letter dated 12 December 1955, which I have en-
dorsed, clearly sets forth the problem with respect to the means of
access to and from the Langley site. We have continued our studies
and we do not concede that "large sums of money are necessary to
provide access to the site;" on the contrary, we are convinced that
the Parkway, which must be constructed from its present terminus
to the Langley site, the improvements of that section of Route 123
between the Parkway and the junction with Route 193 at Langley, and
the planned improvements to the Key Bridge already under contract
are the only arterial improvements necessary to place access to this
site on relatively the same level as at other sites suitable for the
operation of the Agency's proposed headquarters. Even with these
improvements I am convinced that no other location that we know of
will provide as satisfactory a means of access as does the Langley
site. These three improvements, together with a number of other
proposed arterial developments, ultimately will be required whether
the CIA goes to Langley or not; most, if not all, of them were en-
visioned long before Langley was considered as a site for CIA. As
you already know, the State of Virginia has indicated that it will improve
the section of Route 123 between Langley and the George Washington
Memorial Parkway interchange, and the National Park Service, through
the Bureau of Public Roads, will plan and construct the Parkway from
its present terminus to the Langley site with funds to be made available
by the CIA from its appropriation, as specified in the legislation.
Our consultant's supplemental letter, dated 12 December 1955,
states, "It would be helpful to have certain other existing roads im-
proved and to have Chain Bridge widened, as stated in our original
report, but these will not be required until they come within the time
scheduled for development either by the District of Columbia or by
Fairfax County. " Your Committee report includes the improvements
to Chain Bridge, Canal Road and Weaver Place as necessary. Prior
to submitting their report, our consultants, had discussed the prac-
tical capacities of Chain Bridge and its approaches, as well as the
capacities of other Potomac River bridges, with representatives of
the District of Columbia Engineer Commissioner. You will recall
that the results of a "point of origin and destination" study, as re-
quested by the Engineer Commissioner for the District of Columbia,
was forwarded to you on 9 December 1955. This study had particular
reference to those employees living in the District of Columbia and

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/20: CIA-RDP78-04506A000300020001-5
Maryland who might use Chain Bridge as the most direct route
to the Langley site. It clearly shows that the anticipated traffic
of our employees, who might use this bridge, plus the present
traffic would not exceed the rated capacity of Chain Bridge. Since
the improvements to Key Bridge are already under contract and
the construction of the Constitution Avenue Bridge is assured, we
still believe that as far as the impact of CIA traffic alone is concerned
we can effectively use the Langley site with only those bridge and
road improvements as outlined by our consultants.
The position taken by the Commission seems to have been
based on two primary factors: the potential impact on the area and
the extensive construction and improvements of access highways
and bridges. I believe this position to be basically inconsistent,
since the Commission apparently believes, on the one hand, that
there will be a major relocation of our personnel resulting in a
tremendous impact upon the area surrounding the Langley site,
while, on the other hand, it declares a necessity for extensive im-
provements to highways and bridges predicated upon the assumption
that the great majority of our people will remain where they pres-
ently reside, thereby forcing a vast highway construction program.
Even if the highway construction and improvements your Commission
has specified as minimum to provide access to the Langley site were
necessary, we could not at the same time accept the premise that
the area would be subjected to the impact which you visualize.
Your Committee raised questions concerning the availability
of water supply and sewage disposal. I have assurances from the
City of Falls Church that they will deliver an adequate supply of
water to the Langley site. Our consultant's report, dated 25 Octo-
ber 1955, and their supplementary letter, dated 12 December 1955,
set forth clearly the whole question related to sewage disposal.
Fairfax County has agreed to provide an adequate plant to take care
of their own needs and those of the CIA, and, as I have already
indicated, it is anticipated that the Agency will pay the customary
charges set forth in the County's rate schedule, together with the
customary quarterly service charges.
In my judgment and that of our consultants, the Langley site
is the best available one that will serve our purposes adequately.
A site in the Northwest quadrant of the greater Washington area would
be most convenient to the homes of the majority of the members of
our staff. Therefore, the location of the CIA at Langley would elim-
inate the necessity of having our employees go through downtown
Washington and other congested areas during the morning and even-
ing rush hours. The Langley site is strategically situated in that
it will be at one of the important crossroads on the proposed Outer
Loop. I must consider the site selection problem from a long

range point of view with due consideration of the interest and re-
quirements of CIA as well as the interest of the Washington Metro-
politan Area Comprehensive Plan.
As you know, we have considered this matter with you since
February of 1955, and I am appreciative of the time and considera-
tion which the Commission has given to it. However, unless I can
make a final decision at a very early date as to the location of the
building so that preliminary plans and cost estimates can be pres-
ented to the Congress during this session, I am fearful that the
entire project may be delayed for at least another year. Accordingly,
may I request that the Commission reconsider this matter at its
February meeting and make its final report as soon thereafter as
possible. We and our consultants, Messrs. Clarke and Rapti/31LO,
stand ready at any time to assist in. any possible way. While no
additional formal presentation seems to be necessary, I believe
that it would'be beneficial to have Messrs. Clarke and Rapuano, and
representatives of this Agency, present at your meeting in order to
try to answer any questions which the Commission may wish to ask.
I, of course, leave this entirely to your judgment.

PROPOSAL TO LOCATE TEE CENTRAL INTMLIGENCE AGENCY
LTEADQUA11TERS EI.JILDING AT Wan, VIRGINIA
At the request of the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency,
the National Capital Planning Commission at its meeting on February 30
1956, reconsidered the action taken at its December meeting on the pro-
posal to establish a new ha alp r be= for the Agency at langley, Virginia,
ani voted to approve the location considered by the Agency to be the
most suitable site for its purposes*
The undersigned committee was appointed by the Chain= to draft
atti sulmit the final report on this proposal, as required by the tbtional
Capital Planning Act of 1952. Membership of the committee includes those
who have been for and against the langley site.
As the Commission had. been very evenly divided in both its initial
opposition and subsequent approval of the langley location, the omumittee
has chosen to present the differing points of view on the basic planning
issues involved.
Concern of Commiseion and. Council in Decision
? Under the Flaming Act of 1952, the Planning Commission and Regional
Planning Council have collaborative responsibiliier to prepare and maintain
a coaprehensive plan for the development of the National Capital and. its
environs. As the central planning agency for the, Federal and Dilate Orb

Cons quentlye the Commiasimes 1930 C rehensive Plan laid great emphasis
on the size and location of government aeencies. In order to produce an
orderly and uniform expansion of the regions new Federal establishments
which could be appropriately located outside the Central Area were to be
distributed on. the peripbary of existing development or beyond: at such
locations as to encourage local derclopsent that would be bezmonious with
other requirements of the Plan. Ehoept in Bethesda and-Suitiand'o where

the Neale Roads Re eh Laboratory development, then estimated in round
figures nu% to exceed 1,000. The principal reasons far this were that the
location lay within iee area traditionally developed and developing with
small estates and siegle-family homes of low density, vhidhitwee
generally agreed as desirable to enoourage and protect. Furthermore,
there vaa already located. or committed in the eorthwest sector outside of
downtown Washington a disproportionately large diatr:ibution of Federal
emelcenonte tending in the long reu to enceuragea ?ad and

cussed, if it is proved that the traffic circelation facilities which
the installation will require are inadequate.
ei Facilities
The Regional Planning Council, in mewing the Langley location
last December, voted also to reqaest that the Central Intelligence Ageney
request appropriations for certain improvements which it considered
woutd. be weft& at the time the CIA headquarters is opened at Langley.
4:) The purpoee of this action was, of course, to implement plamatee recom-
mendations to latch the local or state authorities were not financially
committed.
It would seem that the first atop tarda patting into effect the
Counoil's recomanmhrbleniwould. be the development and., mama
program setting forth the specific community facilities required, and
the estimates of cost and methods of financing. The latter is particular-
ly tgpsettuat because of the different Jurisdictions inwolved and. the
necessity for coordination in the programming of improvesents. Flawing
is a. list and, brief discussion of the leporUerb inecovenenta 'which the
studies of the Commission and. the Council awing the last "leer have re-
vealed as being necessary to program definitely if the Langley site

The construction of the GeorgeMashington Memorial karkway from
Spout Run to Langley is universally accepted as having top prierity.
The Clarke-Rapuano report also recommended that the parkway be extended
to the Cabin John Bridge.along with useful segments of the Outer Loop,
in which recommendatien this Committee'concurs.
Nhile the legislation authorizing the use of the Langley location
anticipated the construction of the parkway to Langley and provided for
the allocation of necessary funds, the land acquisition program cannot be
completed without additional contributions from Virginia to match
Federa1":1Unds already available or to be made available for this purpose.
Surveys and appraisals are required before precise costs can be ascer-
tained. In all probability, several hundred thousand dollars will be -
needed 'from state and county authorities.
Other Recommended Pre acts
The. Regional Planning Council has recommended the following improve-
ments be financed .at Federal expense concurrent with construction by the
Agency unless state or local finanding is or can be secured:.
(a) Eallalia. - The widening to four lanes of Relate 123 from
Langley Corners to Chain Bridge ($1,1000000). The 'State of Virginia has
agreed to widen that portion of Route 123 from Langley Corners to the.
Parkway ($350,000).
(b) Glebe Road.. - The widening of Glebe Road to .four lanes from Lee
nidhway to Chain Bridge, estimated to cost 40300,000.

(g) Reseravtions for Park and Recreational needs. - Regardless
of arar stimulus to local dovelowent from CIA, it has been astimatai that.
based on present standardsand ultimate development of this section of
Fairfax County at low density that at least four times the present park
and recreational area will be reqpired to meet future needs. Should the
growth of the area be accelerated, as some anticipate? program for
financing advance acquisition of suitable open lands according to the
plan should be initiated by the county anth4wities.
Recommended Planning Controls
All those ..Ito have favored the lanaley site have expressed great
confidence in the ability of the county authorities? in cooperation with
the interested agenciaa of the Federal Goverment, to control the charac-
ter and =tent of development which may either be required or which will
take place as the result of the CIA installation. A clear understand-
ing of mutual responsibilities shcad be formally establi ed. To this
end, it is suggested that the Central Intelligence Agency enter into a
fora of agreement or memorandum of understanding as to the policies of
mutual concern that will be foliaged and financial responsibilities
undertaken.
More than a year Aso consultants for the Fairfaa Cowry Planning
Commission completed a comprehensive plan for the county, including a
land use plan, setting up 0111resenneirEtprT designed to maintain the
eg:Ig,low densitrs open type of deveoyment for the Langley

and adjoining areas. This plan has not yet been adopted. It becomes
imperative, therefore: in the interest of CIA as wdall as that of the
home owners in the area who have become concerned a,bout the effects
of the Ixtstallationi, that the CIA impress upon the county a,uthoritiee
its desire and expectation of maintaining the low density character of
the Langley area, through Immediate adoption of the emu-Ws comprehen-
sive land use plan.
Conclusio
? 51.e committee has endeavored to point up the planning problems
connected with the development of the Langley site as a location for
CIA headwaiters, in the hope that their inclusion in this report will
serve a useful puntose in effectizJg their iiltimate solution.
The znajority of the comadttee in arriving at its recommendations
? has accorded overriding importance to the Emphasis placed. upon the
statoneents contained in Ite. Dulles letter f January 23, 4560 that
he is not free to select a location within the District and. that by
virtue of emergency measures already taken it is important to him to
locate on the west side of the Potewac River.

Dear Mr. Bartholomew:
Tiro* you very uniclt for your letter of 2 March 1956 with
which you enclosed the final report of the National Capital
Planning Oonaission concerning my proposal to establish a new
headquarters for the Central Intelligence Agency at Langley,
Virginia.
appreciate very truth the recognition given the special
situation confronting this Agency in the selection of a proper
site and your thoughtful final report. We shall give most seri-
ous consideration to all aspects of this report as we Vowed
with our planning and the establishment of our new headquarters
at Langley. in particular, we believe that it nee& not have an
adverse long-range effect on the established land use of the
surrouding territory, and it twill be the policy of the Agency
to do everything in its power, in cooperation with the local
authorities, to maintain the present nature of the area. I an
confident that we can develop a headquarters at this site of
which weea:4n he proud.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Building - Use of C/A Appropriation for Survey and
Acqusition of Right-of-Way for Parkway.
1. Mr. Nolen has advised that the NCPC now holds $200,000
for the acquisition of right-of-way from the Arlington-Fairfax
line to Route 123. He also advised us, off the record, that the
NCPC is holding $150,000 for matching by the State and County
governments which will provide a total of $300,000 for acquisition
of the right-of-way north of 123 to the Leiter Estate. He bad
indicated, however, that he did not believe that this will be
enough, in view of present property values, for acquiring all the
necessary right-of-way in either of the two sections. Although
vi do not Inlay 'what other Federal fmndeAsialit_be_available as
contributions toward this acquisition, requested
that T investigate the possibility of utilizing moneys appropria-
ted to us if that beecines necessary.
2. Mr. Nolen also indicated that reappraisal of the land
to be acquired requires first a survey, and Mr. Cheatham earlier
indicated that this survey had been delayed due to a lack of funds.
The estimated cost of the surrey is $25,000 to $30,000. In our
most recent meeting Mr. Nolen indicated that the survey was under
low. It is possible, however, that it might be further delayed
duo to lack of funds, in Which case we might wish to consider
furnishings funds fraz our appropriations.
3. I have exwzined the language of Pt LI 161, 84th Congress,
which authorized the construction of a =building, and of P. L.
2190 84th Congress, which appropriated00500,000 Mr this purpose.
Section 401 of P.L. 161 authorizes appropriations not to exceed
V34,5000000 to eonstruct a =building "Of which not more than
000,000 shall be available for transfer to the National Capital
Planning Commission and the Department of the Interior for
acquisitio of lanq for and construction to extend the George
Washington 56Th Parkway to the present site of the research
station of the /tree of Public Roads at LangleY, Fairfax County,

CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY -(
SUBJECT: Building - Use of CIA Appropriation for Survey and
Acquisition of Right-of-Way for Parkway
The Act of 29 May 1930 authorizing the George Washington Memorial
Parkway provides "That no money shall be expended by the United States
for lands for any unit of this project until the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission shall have received definite commitments from
the state of Maryland or Virginia, or political subdivisions thereof
or from other responsible sources for one-half the cost of acquiring
the lands in its judgement necessary for such unit of said project
now belonging to the United States or donated to the United States;
Provided further, That no money shall be expended by the United States
for the construction of said highway on the Maryland side of the
Potomac, except as part of the Federal-aid highway program: Provided,.
That in the discretion of the National Capital Park and Planning .
Commission* upon agreement duly entered into by.the State of Maryland
or Virginia or any political subdivision thereof to reimburse the United
States as hereinafter provided, it may advance the full amount of the
funds necessary for the acquisition of the lands and the construction
of said roads in any such unit referred to in this paragraph, etch
agreement providing for reimbursement to the United States to the ex-
tent of one-half of the cost thereof without interest within not more
than eight years from the date of any such expenditure. The appropria-
tionct the amount necessary for such advance, in addition to the contri-
bution by the United States, is hereby authorized from any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated."
4. From a reading of the abovel.there seems to be no question
that funds appropriated to us,within the $8,500,000 Parionty limitation
maybe used for the Federal share of the cost of acquiring right-of-
way. It is questionable if any portion could be used for acquiring
right-of-way unless matched by State-County contributions. It would
seeirpertiasable however, to advance the total cost of acquisition
provided that there were e State-County undertaking for repayment as
specified in the Statute.
5. Perhaps the easiest way of justifying the expenditure of our
funds for a survey is to consider it as an expense of acquisition.
Mr. Nolen indicated in conversation that he tight take the survey
cost from the acquisition money which the NCPC now holds. The only
difficulty with this approach is that it involves State-County contri-
bution to the surveys, reduces the joint funds available, and could
result in appreciable delay in the acquisition of the necessary. right-
of-way.

SUBJECT: Building . Use of CIA Appropriation for Survey and
Acquisition of Right-of-Way for Parkway
6. Surveys are specifically mentioned in P.L. 161, but they are
there indicated to be one of the costs of acquisition. Section 501
provides that the authority granted by the Act "includes (where) ...
the acquisition of right-of-way is specified ... authority to make
surveys ...."
7. The only way in which I can see a basis for providing the
NCPC with acquisition funds greater than maybe matched by State-County
contributions would be to read Section 401 as providing for the
acquisition of right-of-way independently of the provisions of the
Act of 29 May 1930, and I do not see how one could reasonably give
it such a reading.
8. Conclusion: There is no legal objection to transferring of
any portion of the 0,500,000 that will be appropriated to uslto the
ECPC for the cost of right.of-way acquisition, including survey, pro-
vided that it is matched by State-County contribution. If it is decided
to meet these costs or any of them without matching State-County contri-
bution, the matter should first be submitted to the Comptroller General
for a ruling.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
COMMUNITY FACILITIES NEEDED IN THE
VICINITY OF LANGLEY.1 VIRGINIA IN
RELATION TO THE NEW HEADQUARTERS
BUILDING FOR THE C.I.A.
The Regional Council directed this Committee to carefully analyze all
of the community facilities that have been proposed to service the head-
quarters building for the Central Intelligence Agency in the vicinity of
Langley, Virginia and submit requirements with estimated cost as well as
the jurisdiction which should be responsible for their programming. This
report will have the purpose of alerting the responsible Federal, State
and local governmental agencies as to their part in programming this pro-
ject on a coordinated basis.
The Committee after reviewing the problem was of the opinion that the
report should be in three parts.. The first having to do with Highway and
Bridge needs which are the primary facilities to be programmed and repre-
sent 3 large portion of the costs. The second part has to do with the need
for a special program during the construction period to be sure that .present
traffic needs can be served with minimum disruption. The third part will be
to reiterate, in line with the stated desires of the County and Agency, those
phases of the local planning process which must be accomplished to insure the
orderly development of the Langley area according to plan.
4:) I. Highways and Bridzs
.The following projects are recommended by the Committee as needs
that should be provided concurrent with construction of the headquarters
building.
A map has been prepared (Plate 1) to facilitate your study of
this report. The recommended projects are shown on the map with the
corresponding numbers.
(1)
Route 123 (Virginia) from Langley corner (Route 193) to the
George Washington Memorial Parkway. This highway is to be
widened from the existing narrow, two-lane road to a four-
lane divided highway. This highway at the present time is
the only route giving access to the Langley property and
will in the future be an integral part of the approach net-
work both north and south, carrying commercial as well as
passenger vehicles.
This. project is estimated at $350,000 and is committed
by the Virginia Department of Highways to be constructed con-
currently with the Parkway.
