MEMO FOR THE RECORD
On 11 January 1961 I discussed the underground facility located at Neosho,
Mo., with Lou Darter of G.S.A.
Items of general interest concerning this facility are:
a. LOCATION - Located 200 miles from Kansas City.
b. SIZE - 140,000 Square Feet, leased from the Ozark's Terminal.
This 140,000 Square Feet is part of a 14 acre under-
ground commercial storage center owned and operated by
the Ozark Terminal Company.
c. PROTECTION - There is a 24-hour U.S. Government Civilian Guard
Service. Area used by G.S.A. for storing Vital
Documents of the several government Agencies is
protected by expanded metal and safe type doors.
d. STORAGE EQUIPMENT - Cardboard file boxes on steel shelving.
e. MICROFILM EQUIPMENT - There is only one 3M reader-reproducer.
f. TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY - Temperature remains at a constant 64
degrees and there is Humidity Control.
g. SECURITY - The Naval District Security Office has granted clear-
ance to store Top Secret material "In a limited quan-
tity". At the present time there isn't any Top Secret
material on file at the site.
h. MAINTENANCE - Capability of maintaining files, interfiling, de-
struction, etc., is just about nil. There is
only one full time employee stationed there.
i. COURIER SERVICE - There is no courier service available. Most
agencies use Mail or Freight as means of
getting Vital Documents to this location.
VAULT SPACE AT FEDERAL RECORDS CENTER - Space is available in
vaults at the following FRC's.
Atlanta, Ga.
Boston, Mass.
Los Angeles, California
Denver, Colorado
Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Seattle, Washington
Kansas City, Mo.

Vaults at Boston, Los Angeles, Now York, Kansas City and Denver all
have 21-hour guard protection. In addition, Kansas City and Denver have
electronic devices to protect against tampering. Atlanta is equipped
with ADT.
Mechanicsburg, Pa. has 24-hour Naval guard service, and Seattle,
located within a Naval Compound, has interior protection serviced by
GSA guards.
Although these vaults are not now used for protecting essential records,
some (those not located in target cities) would seem appropriate for storing
an extra copy (hard copy) of certain finished intelligence. This would
provide us with much needed dispersal of our truly essential records.
