Mr. Miles Scull, Jr.
Subcommittee on Reorganization
Senate Committee on Government Operations
Washington 25. D. C.
Dear Mr. Scull:
The Central Intelligence Agency has not been specifically
requested to comment on a bill To amend section 602 of the
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 with
respect to the procurement and supply of transportation and
storage services, " which is now being considered by the Sub-
committee on Reorganization of the Senate Committee on Govern-
ment Operations. We are very much interested, however, in the
subject matter covered by this bill.
In this connection, we would like to inform the Committee
that this Agency is responsible for the transportation and storage
of a large volume of materials which bear a security classification.
In addition, it is infeasible to separate classified and unclassified
items, both of which may be stored in secure warehouse facilities.
For these reasons, we feel that the provisions contained on lines
7 through 10 and 13 through 16, on page 2 of the Committee Print
of 21 April 1956, are desirable. and necessary insofar as this Agency

 Approved For Release 2002/05/08 : CIA-RDP59-00882R000200020017-7
is concerned. We wish to emphasize, however, that we would
expect to use transportation and storage facilities arranged by
the General Services Administration in all cases where security
factors are not involved.
In view of the fact that you have requested comments by 27
April, this is in the nature of a summary report, and we will be
happy to elaborate on the matter if the Committee so desires.
The Bureau of the Budget has indicated that it has no objection
to the submission of this report.
Sincerely yours,
Legislative Counsel
