(ER 77-12054)
1. Action Re uested: That another appeal be made-to
Mr. Jay So o ron, nistrator of GSA, to obtain relief fror::
the current moratorium on acquisition of space in the
Metropolitan Washington Area (MWA). Further, should the
appeal to Mr. Solomon prove unproductive, that a represen-
tation for relief be made to the President.
2 . Background:
a. The references contain the historical transcript
the Agency's attempts, dating to December of 1975,
to obtain additional space in the MWA. These docwiients
also contain complete justification for the acquisition.
Attachment l is a resubmittal of reference (L) with the
cogent attachments included for your convenience.
During the intervening 6 months, efforts to obtain STATINTL
additional space have continued, albeit without report-

36,000 s. f. located on the Ft. Myer reservation would

forwarded to GSA and, at their request, to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff for Department of Army consideration.

could not occur prior

solve OUT space pro
. January of 1990. To date then, all attempts to obtain
relief through the utilization of backfill space, i.e.,
space already under the control of or leased by the
GoverimIe t-, have not produced positive results.
.. . We have not relied entirely on external
sources to solve the space problem. During January-
March, an indepth survey was initiated and completed as
were two studies designed to unearth ways in which to
better utilize that space already under control. As a
result, some 30,000 s.f. (nearly half from the t3DO)
have been identified for recapture, and an additional
7,000 s.f. (the Ames cafeteria) will be available once
the contractual relationship with GSI can be terminated.
Notwithstanding these economies, our FY-78/79 requirements
after a thorough scrubbing, still approach 100,000 s.f.
(see Attachment 2) .
c. The demand for space has reached that proverbial
level portrayed as an irresistible force about to meet
an immovable object. Part of this thirst stems from
the expansion and/or realignment of component functions,
NPAC being a prime example. Another major factor is
the need for space to accowj odate the explosive growth
of computer projects: SAFE, ADSTAR, CAMS, plus the
general support computer functions of ODP. These
factors have combined to create, especially in certain
areas of the Headquarters Building, substandard working
conditions which impact upon-the morale of the individual
efficiently and effectively. In some of the
i
on
unct
,. analytical sections, crowded conditions, while not yet
at the hot-bunk stage, are certainly approaching that
point.
d. The most worrisome aspect of the situation
involves the time frame necessary to effect relief.
People can be imposed upon and importuned to continue
to produce regardless of the work conditions which must
be borne. The same cannot be said for facility renova-
tion and construction contracts which must be entered
into now if we expect to have the various computer
systems on-line as scheduled. Fully one-third of the
100,000 s . f. requirement is for machines or their
associated utility systems. The crux of the problem
