MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Enclosure for X-Ray Examination of
Suspect Packages and Mail
1. This memorandum is for your information only.
2. Recently, as an interim measure, X-ray equipment for
the examination of suspect packages and mail was installed in the
Agency Mail Room, where packages are examined after each mail
delivery to the Headquarters Building. Instructions in its use for
bomb inspection purposes was provided by United States Secret
Service personnel, who placed the equipment on loan to us for an
indefinite period.
3. For the long run a permanent enclosure, with appropriate
radiation protection and with certain explosion-venting aspects to it,
should be constructed, for the safety and protection of the Logistics
Services Division/Mail Room personnel who use such equipment. We
have reviewed this requirement with the Building Planning Staff at
some length. Because of the expense involved, it appears appropriate
to incorporate such an enclosure in one of the new structuresbeing
planned for the Agency, rather than proceed with a requirement for
a new enclosure at this time. We shall prepare such specifications
for the Building Planning Staff and, in the meantime, we shall endeavor
to strengthen the protection around the X-ray unit now being used in
such ways as may be possible, and will review with the Office of
Logistics relocation possibilities.
