. 20 The D/OL discussed the status of the architect-engineer
work and emphasized their immediate need for a revised Space
Directive or requirements to be included in a reduced headquarters
building. He further explained that the General Services Admin-
istration and the architects estimates of cost, reflecting the in-
creased cost of construction, indicated that we should design a

a. Such a reductions more or leas across the board,
of the space originally requested would not be entirely
correct.
b. The final decision as to which Agency component or
element would be reduced and by how much, would require
considerable study by the Inspector General, Management
Personnel and the offices concerned.
co It in essential that the architect be provided informa-
"tion establishing the projected composition of the Agency with
the maximum possible degree of accuracy in order that dia-
grammatic, tentative and final working drawings may- be pre=
pared.
d0 "Fixed Plants" or special use areas with peculiar re-
quireMents must be considered and positioned in the initial
planning stages, while in contrast the office area in general
could be utilized by one component as well as another o
3. The Building Planning Staff presented two possible. methods `
or :solutions to accomplish the required space reduction of approxi-
mately 20 percents
ao Method 1 was based on an analysis of the "fixed plant"
requirements by the Building Planning Staff leading to the re-
commendation that these facilities be reduced not to exceed
10 percent. Such a reduction would require a 27 percent re-
duction of the general office area or remaining space a With
concentrated utilization approximatel personnel
could be housed in such a building.
bo ~ The-second method provided for therelocatioz away
from the metropolitan area of Waishington of certain TSS, OTRD
and OL elements and for the? retention of the four permanent
buildings on "the hill" as a holding area for selected elements
until such time as the headquarters personnel strength was
sufficiently reduced to enable an absorption into the new building.
It was noted that several of "the hill" buildings might well not
be available for our continued occupancy as a result of the
construction of the Constitution Avenue Bridge and its approach
roads.

4. The Acting'- DC1 stated his a policy that if any elements
were to be left out'of the building they must be only those of
such a. nature that do not belong in .an office building or because
the Agency would benefit through increased efficiency and secu-
rity of operation. The Acting DCI further stated that elements
would not be moved out of the building merely to increase the
population capacity of the building.
50 After considerable discussion, it was concluded that,.
as The following elements would be left out of the build
ing:
(l The Printing Plant of the Office of Logistics
This activity will remain in its present location
This plant is primarily
;a sop rather than an office=type operation and there-
fore proper to leave out of the building under the guide
lines established by the Acting DCIo
and 42, 900 sq. ft. of space m from SPACE DIRECTIVE
A
(2) They Garage Facility O orated by Logistice
This is another shop-type activity and will remain
in its present location in

be Any reductions necessary after eliminating the
elements listed under 5 . ao , are to be based on a perms
centage rate applied to all components, both as to space
and personnel. The rate of reduction for space will be
based on the ratio of total Agency space in the new build-
ing to space requirements for the larger building orig-
inally planned, less space included for the activities list-
ed under 5. a., above. Personnel figures for each compo-
nent will be based on the ratio the new building capacity
listed under 5. a. , above. ) . The new building capacity will
be determined by the Building Planning Staff after analysis
of the activities to be carried on in the building.
