STJgJECT Comment of the Inspector General Regarding
Agency Bus C?perations
1. The Inspector General recently conducted a survey of the
Office of Logistics and made a report of findings and recommenda-
tions to the DCI on 22 January 1955. The DDCI named the DDS as
Executive Agent to implement the recommendations and disseminate
pertinent comments contained therein. In behalf of the DDS, the
following comment made by the Inspector General is forwarded for
your information and evaluation:
t?The Agency operates a six-bus shuttle service between
25X1A its major buildings in the main Headquarters area. These
_ ~ _ ~. ~ ,
buses Carrie
i FY 1954 Fewer passengers may be carried in
n
to a recent requirement that only Agency employees showing
building badges will be transported. It shQUld be noted
that a greater number of scheduled bus runs are made between
the hours of 0815 and 0845, and 1645 and 1715 than at any
other time during the normal working hours. The opinion of
the General Counsel is that this extra service is legal if
based upon administrative necessity. However the extra
runs are made for the convenience of employees going to and.
from their office and the location where they obtain other
transportation to their domicile. In event of a claim
against the Government arising from an accident during one
of these runs, it is doubtful if the Agency could establish
proof of the administrative necessity for the extra runs."
2. The above statement was more of an observation rather than
a reco:rnnendation; however the DDS made the following comments
in preparing the initial reply to the DDCT on 12 March 1955
"Concur in this recommendation. It is recognized that
the operation of the shuttle bus as indicated in this
recommendation is subject to continued evaluation. This
recommendation will be forwarded to the General Counsel far
further study. It should be noted that previous opinion of
the General Counsel is that the present service is within
current laws and directives."
