Central Intelligence Agency
28 August 2007
The Honorable Silvestre Reyes
Chairman
Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence
House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that
the Central Intelligence Agency intends to request that the
Office of Management and Budget release from the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2007/2008 Reserve for Contingencies to
remediate damage to the Building caused by a
leaking chilled water loop on the fourth floor and
to install leak detectors in the most sensitive Agency computer
rooms served by chilled water systems
The leak occurred inside the Building
between late afternoon on Friday, July 6, 2007 and early on
Saturday, July 7, 2007. By the time the leak was discovered,
the central section of the building was affected from the fourth
to the second floors. The source of the leak was traced to the
filter in the chilled water system.
L_] The third and second floors sustained the most damage;
ceiling tiles, cubicle panels, computers, and floor tiles in
roughly=work areas require replacement. Many of the ceiling
tiles in the first floor gym and lobby are also damaged beyond
repair.
 The Honorable Silvestre Reyes
Had we discovered the leak sooner, we could have
preven e or mitigated the damage to the
Building. Accordingly, we plan to install leak detection
systems in our most critical computer rooms in the Washington
Metropolitan Area that use chilled water systems. Detectors
will allow us to identify leaks in those facilities almost
immediately after they begin, which would not only minimize
damage to the facility's infrastructure, but more critically,
prevent potentially catastrophic interruption to our mission.
We are requesting that funds be released from'the
Reserve for Contingencies because funds are not otherwise
available in our FY 2007 budget to cover these unanticipated
developments.
L__] I am sending identical letters to the Ranking
Republican Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence, the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence, the Chairman of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, and the Chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.
Please do not hesitate to call me if I may be of
further assistance.
