Hon. Allen W. Dulles, Director
Central Intelligence Agency

Washington 25, D. C.
My dear Mr. Dulles:
D30-D
This will acknowledge with thanks the recent transfer
of funds covering construction of a portion of the George Wash-
ington Memorial Parkway between Spout Run and Chain Bridge,
Virginia. The amourA transferred to the National Park Service
totaled $1,394,6201 This first grading project was advertised
for bids by the Bureau of Palle Roads on September 13.
Plans for the second grading project between Chain
Bridge and Virginia Route 123 are about complete and will be
ready for advertisement early in October.
Similarly, the plans for the superstructures of the
bridges in the first unit between Spout Run and Chain Bridge
are also near completion and we hope to be able to advertise
for bids for this work within a short time. Since the steel
supply for built-up girders, which will be required for this
type of construction, is quite limited and requires as much
as 12 to 14 months for delivery, we are anxious to award these
contracts as soon as possible. Contracts for succeeding units
will also be following as soon as plans can be completed. It
would be advantageous and quite desirable, therefore, for the
Central Intelligence Agency to transfer the balance of funds
available for this work as soon as possible.
According to the breakdown listed in our letter of
May 11, 1956, under Estimated Expenditures of Construction
Contracts the total amount for construction is $6,9170100
plus $1,082,900 for plans, surveys, and supervision for a
total of $8,000,000. The recent transfers included $1,3520400
for construction and $42,220 for plans surysks, and sUpervision
to the National Park Service, plus $168,880 to the Bureau of
Palle Roads for plans, surveys, and supervision for a total of
$1,563,500. This would leave a balance of $5,564,700 for con-
struction and $871,800 for plans, surveys, and supervision, or
a total of $6,436,500 which remains yet to be transferred.
