CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF MAJOl3 DEVELOPMENTS OF THE
SECURITY STAFF, OFFICE OF LOGISTICS
1. ORGANIZATION
a. At the time the present organization of the Logistics Office
was approved (March 1953) the security element was establish-
ed as a part of the Administrative Staff. The Security
Officer, in actual practice, reported direct to the
Chief of Logistics on all matters of a security nature re-
quiring his attention. Security functions were successfully
accomplished through direct communications between the
Security Officer and the Chief of Logistics, and between the
Security Officer and representatives of Logistics Office
components. The proposal for establishing the Security Staff
as a separate staff reporting directly to the Chief of
Logistics was an organization change which proved successful
in actual practice.
b. Early in 1954 the security functions, including contract
security, were divorced from the Administrative Staff of
the Office of Logistics and established as a separate staff
function reporting directly to the Chief of Logistics.

clearly defined the policy and responsibilities of adminis-
tering the program and specifically assigned to the Director
of Logistics the primary responsibility for Industrial Security
and specified the procedures which the Industrial Security
program is implemented by the Security Staff of the Office
of Logistics.
3. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
a. Foreign Arms Program
The Foreign Arms Program was supported by the Security
Staff in giving advice, guidance in arranging procurement
cut-outs and coordinating the program with respect to
procurement, shipments, personnel clearances, storage and
liaison with those departments and agencies of government
which would be concerned with the procurement and import
of armaments. The program presented considerable security
problems and involved the expendature of approximately twenty
millions dollars. It is of historical interest to note that
one of the prime factors in assigning the initial career

SUBJECT: History, Office of Logistics, July 1, 1952
through June 30, 1956
1. BACKGROUND:
As of the beginning of the above mentioned period, the Agency
had Congressional Authorization in the amount of $38, 000, 000 for the
construction of a new building (Public Law 155, 82nd Congress). Even
though this authorization existed, consideration was being given to the
possibility of moving into some existing building such as the Navy
Building, Munitions Building or GSA Building.
2. ORGANIZATION:
a. As of July, 1952 the planning work was being carried out by
the General Services Office which included the Real Estate & Construction
Division.
b. On 20 August 1952 the RE&C functions of the General Services
Office was transferred to the Office of Procurement and Supply and
carried with it the work of planning the new building. On May 24, 1953
the Procurement and Supply Office became the Logistics Office.
c. On August 16, 1955 a Special Project Staff was established in
the RE&C Division charged primarily with the planning work for the new
headquarters building.

d. Effective October 4, 1955 the present Building Planning Staff
was established in the Office of Logistics
3. COMMITTEES:
In order to assist with the planning of the building and determination
of Agency requirements, committees were established at various times
as follows :
a. On NeveMb'Wr 22, 1954 a Steering Committee was established
consisting of the following members:
Deputy Director (Administration) (Chairman)
Chief, Real Estate & Construction Division (Secretary)
Deputy Director (Intelligence), Deputy Director (Plans),
Assistant Director for Communications, Director of Training,
Assistant Director for Personnel, Inspector General, General
Counsel, Director of Security, Comptroller, Chief of Logistics.
The purpose of this .committee was to make recommendations on
policy matters connected with the new building planning. The
Steering Committee held its first meeting December 2f' 1954.
b. On August 30, 1955 a SubCommittee was established for
the purpose of reviewing requirements submitted by the various
components of the Agency. The membership of the SubCommittee
was as follows :

which established the Building Planning Staff also provided for

present form consisting of the following:
Deputy Director (Plans)
Deputy Director (Intelligence)
Deputy Director (Support), Chairman
Representative of Office of Director (Inspector General)
The first meeting of the new Steering Committee was held March 9,
1956.
4. CONSTRUCTION AGENT:
Since the beginning of the new building project the Agency had
worked with the Public Buildings Service of GSA in compiling estimates
and considering methods for meeting our space requirements. Since
the Agency did not have the large construction organization required to
properly carry out the detailed planning and construction of a large
office building it was determined that PBS would act as Construction
Agent for our project. Accordingly, under date of February 6, 1956
an Agreement was executed between the two agencies, the principle
provisions of which were that:
a. PBS would negotiate a contract with the firm of Harrison
& Abramovitz for Architect-Engineer services.

b. All sketches, plans, estimates and specifications would
be approved by both CIA and PBS.
c. PBS would execute all construction contracts subject to
prior approval by CIA.
d. PBS would supervise the work covered by such contracts.
5. CONTRACT CONSULTANTS:
a. On August 11, 1955 the Agency entered into a contract
with Clarke & Rapuano for assistance and advice in connection
with the selection of a site.
b. The firm of Harrison & Ab:ramovitz was selected to serve
as Architect-Engineer for the project and as of June 30, 1956 a
contract for their services was ready for execution by PBS. (The
Contract was actually signed on July 5, 1956. It provided for the
design of the superstructure and the preparation of detailed plans
and specifications. The fee was set in the amount of $1, 751, 300.)
6. FUNDS:
a. As stated above, there existed prior to the beginning of
this reporting period, an authorization in the amount of $38, 000, 000.
As it became apparent that this amount was not sufficient in view of
increased costs, it was decided to approach the Congress with a
request for a larger authorization.

b. In 1955 PBS gave us an estimate of $50, 840, 000 to
construct a building providing a net area of
house approximately

25X9
Budget approved the estimate but reduced it to an even $50, 000, 000.
c. On July 15, 1955 Public Law 161, 84th Congress was
approved. This Act authorized the construction of a headquarters
building for the Agency at a cost of $46, 000, 000 and also authorized
an additional $8, 500, 000 for transfer to the Department of the In-
terior for use in connection with the extension of the George Wash-
ington Memorial Parkway to the site at Langley.
d. Following the approval of the authorization, Public Law 219,
84th Congress approved August 4, 1955 appropriated $5, 500, 000 for
the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for a headquarters
building.
e. On June 1, 1956 the SubCommittee of the Committee on
Appropriations, House of Representatives, conducted hearings on
our request for the appropriation of the remaining money authorized
by Public Law 161. (The appropriation requested is contained in
Public Law 814, 84th Congress, approved July 27, 1956.)
f. Hearings related to these Acts are listed in paragraph 8,

7. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
a. During the early part of the period consideration was
given to the possibility of moving into an existing building and
at the same time studies were being conducted as to the suit-
ability of various building sites. However, a memorandum
dated June 24, 1953 from the Public Buildings Service advised
us that after careful study they had, concluded that the best
solution to our problem would be the construction of a new
building. Further, the Commissioner of Public Buildings
suggested that the Langley site was the best available.
b. The Agency concluded that the Langley site would best
serve our needs and arrangements were made to have trans-
ferred to us from the Bureau of Public Roads, the Agency
owning the Langley tract,
The Langley
site was approved by the National Capital Planning Commission
and the National Capital Regional Planning Council after Clarke
& Rapuano had conducted a special study comparing the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of the Langley site and the Winkler
Tract in particular, as well as other possible locations. NCPC
approval was given on 5 December 1955 and with that approval
site selection was final.

c. Detailed space planning was started in late '54 with the
submission of estimates of space requirements by each office
level element in the Agency. The estimates were carefully re-
viewed by the SubCommittee on space requirements and by the
end of 1955 reasonably firm planning requirements had been
established. The original estimates totaled
of net Agency space and the SubCommittee's initial review brought

Upon completion of this STAT
review the SubCommittee functions were turned over to the BPS

ments with a view to compilation of a Space Directive.

Toward the latter part of Fiscal Year 1954 the coordination
effort was de-emphasized in view of the increasing stature of the
area logistics offices. Greater emphasis was placed on planning
functions, current and long-range, for more effective support of
operations.

In September of 1952 the Logistics Division, Administration and
Logistics Staff, Office of Policy Coordination integrated with the
Procurement and Supply Office. Approximately
personnel on
duty were absorbed within the Planning Staff, which subsequently
became known as the Coordination and Requirements Staff. Coordinatooa
were assigned to each DD/P Staff and Area Division. Major functions
were to coordinate logistical problems in operations and plan overall
logistical support required world-wide; to review, consolidate and
forecast Agency administrative and operational materiel requirements;
and to analyze Agency support aspects worldwide, consistent with force
projection concepts in all areas. Continuous liaison was maintained
with the DD/P operating elements and with the military services.

In the general Logistics Office re-organization of July, 1954,
the Coordination and Requirements Staff again assumed the designation
of Planning Staff, and its Table of Organization was reduced to
II
of former strength by elimination of vacant slots and transfer of
the requirements analysis function to the Supply Division. Qualification
standards for logistics planners were corrected and modified to permit
positive identification and proper utilization of all personnel engaged
in logistics planning as a major duty. The Planning Staff recommended
policies, later adopted, for providing more efficient and. expeditious
logistical support. Noteworthy among these were: direct Office of
Logistics communication with the field on logistics matters, assignment
of logistical planners on CINC Staffs for war planning duties, and assign-
ment of logistics career designations to all Agency personnel performing
primarily logistics functions.

Concurrently, the DDCI, in conference with DD/P elements, estimated
worldwide guerrilla potential through 1 July 1955. These estimates,
commonly referred to as the
approved by the DCI on 3 June 1953 as the basis for logistic strategic
stockpiling.
In January, 1955 the Materiel Reserve Estimates Group conducted a
DD/P area survey to revise the "Cabell Figures" and to produce the following:
(1) Estimates of general war and/or emergency clandestine act-
ion indigenous personnel which CIA should be prepared to support.
(2) Determination of specific types and quantities of materiel
required to support indigenous personnel engaged in various categories
of clandestine operations.
The resulting force estimates represented a slight reduction from the
1953 figures, and upon their approval by the DCI (30 May 1955,

In accordance with a DCI directive ("Wartime Mission of CIA",
dated 2 June 1955) semi-annual reports were subsequently prepared on
the status of logistics planning for wartime. Two distinct categories
were involved, the establishment and maintenance of an emergency reloc-
ation center, and the furnishing of guidance and direct support to other
Agency elements in planning their wartime operations. To fulfill
this latter responsibility, a War Plans Branch was established within
the Planning Staff, working in close contact with the War Plans Division,
PPC Staff to develop logistical aspects (annexes, if required) of
Agency and CINC War Plans.

At the request of Mr. Dulles, the Secretary of Defense established
a Joint DoD/CIA Logistics Committee in January 1956, to make recommend-
ations concerning:
(1) Exact responsibilities of DoD and CIA in providing
logistics support for wartime UW activities
(2) Implementation of jointly-agreed logistics support and
guidance in generating requirements from JCS field commanders
(3) Status of UW logistics planning and stockpiling objectives
Subsequently, the Committee prepared and finalized a logistics
appendix to the UW Annex of the JSCP. For the first time Theater
Commanders and Agency Senior War Planners were provided with logistic
guidance and basic planning procedure, data and responsibilities re-
lating to peacetime planning action to be taken for wartime reciprocal
support of UW operations. This guidance was disseminated in July of
1956 to Theater Commanders and CIA Headquarters, and was further implem-
ented during Fiscal Year 1957.
Unified commanders will submit to the JCS a comprehensive logistics
appendix- to theur unconventional warfare plans. These will be tabulated
by the executive Agency concerned, and requirements levied on the Agency
for procurement and stockage of items peculiar to CIA which will be
required in strategic reserve on D-Day. The Agency will inform the
military services of CIA requirements for post D-Day support.

were completed in FY 54. As of June, 1956, their status was as follows:

condition, but imbalanced.
I although imbalanced strategic reserves were in place
at this time, it was felt that this base could not sufficiently
support the Agency's wartime needs in the area. Consideration
was being given to establishment of additional forward or sub-bases.
k- During Fiscal Year 1956, Quarterly Major Base Status Reports were
published to ensure dissemination of current information on base capabilities.

The Planning Staff provided a graphics service throughout this
period'. Initially, this service was confined to statistical charts
and tables. By June of 1956 all types of art work were being produced,
not only for the Office of Logistics, but for other DDS elements.
A logistics reference service, or technical library, was also.
maintained throughout this period. There was a vast increase in
reference services provided, as well as in the quantitative and
qualitative growth rate of the collection itself.
