Notes on PRC Meeting -}
3. The meeting was opened with a stain
urposes of the project to obtain tb
allot 275#000.00 for restorations to approve the budge
l 50#000.00 to cover operation for one year and for permission
to put in supplementary requests as now restoration was required.
piny from the Chairman brought out the fact that the figures
sot forth above cowered only a portion of the expenditures which
would be required as insufficient provision was made for personnel
and no provision was made for furnishing vehicles,, f .ture,,
medical equipments training equipment or maintenance equipment.
It the restoration were accomplished at an early date and operations
begun; the Chairman stated it was clear .that expenses of this nature
must be considered,
2. Consideration was therefore given to the personnel cos
25X1 A for the remainder of Ft 1951. Immediate transfer of the
will require approximately $',000.00. While it
iaprobable that full staffing could be accomplished before June
it was estimated that,, based on a reasonable WO, an allowance of
additional $100,000.00 should be provided.
3. The Chief of Procurement then pointed out that he would
have to make provision for supplies and equipment and that he had
no existing allocation for such purposes. After discussion on the
umber of vehicles, the type and nature of training equipment and
supplies of all sorts, including food and expendable supplies, it
weed that a figure of $250*0OO.00 could be allowed for these
urposea for PT 1951.
i{{. The Chief of Procurement then pointed out that he had

required.. The Chief of Procurement therefore inquired whether
he might be given space to put up 0 and the necessary
housing. Subject to further discussion, it was agreed that
possibly the permanent solution for this problem should be to
have the facilities near a port of debarkation to cut down on
the number of re-shipments, but to meet the immediate problem,
it was agreed that minimtea facilities should be provided for
an ;interims solution of the roblem as these facilities 25X1A
would later be useful for and equipment used
25X1A in 'training. The and some of the equipment could be
put with the help of and the 25X1A
buildings would cost an estimated $ 0,:000.00.
7. Mr 0 then noted his understanding that this
a wide survey of areas reasonably close to Washington had been
made. Either they would require an outright purchase or constructi
of all facilities or were not suitable from the int of view of
el.isaation of other possibilities. It warm pointed out that
contingency of $0?000.00 was suggested and approved.

I and has at least some o t a housing and construction
in place; therefore far cheaper than any other site and is
to remain for long periods of time, particularly in the time of
manpower shortages when competition from private industry is keen.
' Chairman agreed that this might be a critical factor,, pe ti cull
olated area with no recreation facilities, and he suggested
we would be a serious personnel problem in persuading employees
aani ems from which CIA could draw for such probes as were faced
in this project. It is understood that the Personnel Director was
negotiating on this theory prior to presentation of this project
and that there is reason to believe that the personnel will be
co"ed of draftees. The Personnel Director has just informed
that discussions were proceeding, but there are many technical
points which will have to be covered. The Chairman felt that this
possibility of asking the draft authorities to draft those not
physically fit for normal active duty to be assigned to Service
the employees will have to be cleared. Mr. 0 suggested the

personnel problem was of sufficient importance to make
satisfactory solution a condition precedent to final approval
of the project. The Cowdttee then sorted up and agreed that
the allotment of $7CD*IX0.00 for the Fiscal. Tear 1951 would
not be ecorbittant.
Eef of the Training Division pointed out that

more tips by the sum m ear of 1951. It was therefore suggested
that he should be prepared to submit more detailed plans for
such expansion in the near future.
