25X9 approximately =persons and occupies two-thirds of the 25X1A
25X1A space. r. Brandwein indicated that he made a
commitment to the DDSJT to cut approximately 15 slots by the
end of FY-80 provided he can combine at least the OSD activities
25X1A and personnel with his covert communications activities
currently located at M The DDS&T agreed in principle but
also asked that Mr. Brandwein consider the relocation of ESD
as well. Mr. Brandwein's purpose in meeting with the D/L was
to ascertain what problems these possible relocations would
entail. Based on a brief study by OTS personnel, Mr. Brandwein
concluded that the move of OSD alone would cost approximately
$250,000 and require 3,100 square feet of office-type space
which must be constructed within a two-year period. The move
of this unit plus ESD would require an additional 15,000 square
feet of space costing well in excess of $1 million. Mr. Brandwein
stated that these possible moves have been discussed with the
25X1A Director, and he expressed concern that adequate space may
25X1A not exist at or that the relocation might have an
adverse impact on areas for which the Office of Communications
had other development plans.

3. (U) The D/L advised that he thought the OSD relocation
construction could be accomplished within the two-year time
frame provided an adequate operational justification could be
developed which would permit the to 25X1A
competitively negotiate rather than formally advertise the
construction contract. The ESD relocation, which could cost
in excess of $1 million, would require a greater period of time
because it would undoubtedly be formall. advertised and may
have to be included in the io,=N appropriation. 25X1A
Be this as it may, the D/L basically concluded that the
projects were feasible and could be effected by the Office of
Logistics provided the necessary internal Agency approvals to
proceed were obtained. To this end, Mr. Brandwein indicated
that he would be discussing the projects with the Director of
Communications and the Chief, Central Cover Staff, prior to
requesting specific assistance from the Office of Logistics.
