1. At the PRO meeting on 10 November, the Office of Communications
will present a request for $50,000 to expand their facilities on
This amount was included in their FY 1955 operating budget.
2. They propose to add a second story onto the west wing of the
Receiving Building at the radio station, providing about 2,600 square
feet of new useable space. The exact cost is estimated at $47,782. The
project outline states that the increase in personnel equipment, and
operating procedures since this project was implemented in 1950, has
resulted in over-crowding to the point of causing inefficient operation.
3. Attached to the project is a memorandum from the Chief, RE&C/LO,
to the Chief, Engineering Division/Commo, in response t their inquiry
of 17 August 1954, giving estimated costs of installinga.rious central
air conditioning systems ranging from $78,000 to $88,000. If the con-
struction requested in paragraph 2 above is authorized, these figures
would be reduced by approximately $6,000 through the elimination of
window air conditioners included therein. 25X1A9a
4. I discussed these proposals with sir. of Commo who tells
me that whereas air conditioning could be considered an operational
necessity in view of the climate and the added heat produced by the
equipment, and a central plant might be more efficient and economical
operationally, he did not feel they could urge the point with any great
conviction, particularly since they have no provision in their FY 1955
budget for any such installation. As I get the picture, all they will
address themselves to is the $50,000 building project.
is going to check this with Commo before the meeting.
