w. wen, now then, there is con- 'I
sideration now for a new location
for the headquarters building of
your organization, the Central In-
telligence agency. What is your
thinking about that matter?
A. First of all, I know we need
it badly. We're scattered around
in temporary buildings that were
built for the purposes of World
War II. We had a great overflow
of government workers. T h e
buildings were supposed to fall
:down, I understand, in ibout five
years, but here they are-and
we're still working in them, or
trying to work in them.
The congress has recognized
that I need a new building and
has authorized its construction
and had appropriated the money
to start it. And as you know, Mr.
Rendell, I have an idea that j can
create a building that will be a
kind of model office building.
Q. What do you mean by that,
Mr. Dulles?
A. Well, I'm going to put the
building a little outside of Wash- r
ington. I'm going to put it, If I
can, in a park area where there 1.
can be plenty of space for cars,
so that those who come to work
in their own cars will have a
place to park right near where
they work.
G. Do you have any ' particular
area In mind?
A. Well, as you probably know,
appeared before the national
apital planning commission and'
ther:comtnissions here in Wash-
ngton a.. few days ago and ex-
lained my preference for the
angley site, which is on the
Potomac-high above the Poto-
ac.
The government owns the land
ow, so I. won't have to displace.
nybody or put up any money for
y land, and there I have plenty
f space to build this kind of a
uilding or series of buildings.
Under the conditions here, I
hink my employes would be able
o' work better. They'll be able
o go out there for their lunches
ut in the woods if they want at
unch time. They will have new
acilitles that I don't believe-%
