MEMORANDUM FOR: Logistics Services Division
25X1A ATTENTION:
SUBJECT: Acquisition and Realignment of Space - Magazine
Building
1. Recently it has came to the attention of this Office that
there will be a considerable change in the assignment of space on
the 7th floor of the Magazine Building, presently occupied,by the
Support Services Staff. This fact has since been confirmed in
conversation between of this Office.
The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the current needs
of OBGI and suggest certain realignment of space which would,
in fact, make use of vacated areas on the 7th floor.
2. As your office knows, we are awaiting ac~ion on an earlier
request for modification of our 8th and 10th floors. You are also
conscious that involved in this was a partial shifting of
Geography Division personnel from the `.8th to the 10th floor and
a condensing of Publication personnel into a much smaller area
than we could consider proper for good operation. This Office
is more than conscious of the space shortage existing and have
made every effort to live within these limitations and therefore
tried to make the best of a difficult situation. Now, however,
with this potential space available it would be derelict on our
part to ignore solutions which would make several units more
operable. It is therefore requested that consideration be given
to the following realignment of OBGI space in the Magazine Building.
10th Floor - Since the original request 18 months ago four
additional positions have been filled as well as two slots
added to the Publication Division, additionally, a contract
employee with limited clearance must work in the Publication
Division area. For these reasons a hitherto difficult
working condition has now become completely untenable,
requiring the space previously designated for a Geography
Branch which was scheduled to move from the 8th floor.

If concurrent mat for space adjustments can be
made the cost of all 1011b floor modification can be
?11ainated, already crvrded conditions existing at
the time of the original request can be relieved and
provision for space for six, employees hitherto unplanned
for can be provided.
8th Floor - Modifications as proposed previously to be
completed without change.
7th Floor - Present offices of Chief of Geography Division
plus editors to be moved from 605 complex (4 roars) to the
7th floor, additionally, the branch originally scheduled
for a move to 10th floor from the 8th also to be placed
on the 7th. Attached you will find layout of proposed 7th
floor usage. Needless to say having Geography Division
personnel on 7th and 8th floors is certainly more workable
than having them spread over the 6th, 8th, and 10th floors.
6th Floor - Would be completely vacated by OBGI person net.
May we note at this time that OTR is especially hard pressed
and desirous of additional space for their 6th floor operations.
3. If such a request is approved, it would obviously entail
jointly curtailing modifications already approved and in process.
In the event of disapproval of these suggested changes, please
consider our previous request as still binding and(proceed with
processing as needed. We would, of course, be pleased to oblige
in further details or surveys. It is suggested that 25X1A
be contacted on extension 3048 for further information and or
coordination.
