SUBJECT Storage Problems
i. " A critical portion of.-.the' space problem' within the
Headquarters Building is the lack of sufficient storage areas
and the tendency of various components to use corridors and
other public space for storage. This problem has recently
become more serious as we.are all threatened. with potential
shortages of critical supplies and components resort to
increasing the volume of items on hand in order to be pre-
pared for emergency situations. As a result, supplies and
materials are left in the corridors, and/or-equipment and
furniture is pushed into corridors to make room for paper
and supplies. This situation creates a safety hazard as
well as an esthetic nightmare.
2. The Fine Arts Commission has worked hard over the.
years, to upgrade the appearance of the Headquarters Building.
In addition, General Services Administration recently painted.
most of the public areas and corridors and also retiled the
ground floor corridors. These efforts have contributed signi-
ficantly to improving the overall building environment, but
the assistance of Agency personnel is required on a continuing
basis to keep public areas clear and to maintain a comfortable
and safe environment.
3. Specific action is requested by each addressee to
assure that administrative officers in each Directorate are
ordering an appropriate volume of supplies and materials and
that, when delivered, quick action is taken to move the items
into designated storage areas. A proper correlation between
usage rate and frequency of deliveries should be established
to keep the volume within storage limits. Logistics Services
Division (LSD) personnel normally deliver materials and then
return to pick up empty skids/boxes 3 hours later. We have
noted that, for the most part, the skids remain loaded in the
hallways. To ensure that corridors and other public areas
are kept clear for safety as well as esthetic reasons, LSD
will henceforth return on schedule and move the skids and/or
boxes, loaded or empty, to the receiving dock. Arrangements
will be made to redeliver unpacked shipments when a component
is prepared to accept the material.

SUBJECT: Storage Problems
4. The'assistance.of administrative personnel is also
requested porting to the Building Services Branch, LSD,
extension " any items left in. the corridors and public STATINTL
areas so that immediate action can be taken to clear the
area. While LSD appreciates the storage problems faced by
each Directorate, it is believed that inventory adjustments
and more frequent deliveries can relieve storage pressures.
