As you will note from the attachment, I am enthused
about a fitness program in the Agency. The Directorate of
Administration analysis of the costs of such a program is,
unfortunately, hard to dispute. Space and people are
particularly critical at this time.
I am pleased with the upgrading of current facilities
and endorse DDA awareness of the need for such a program. I
will continue to look for opportunities to improve existing
facilities in addition to asking DDA to review the educational
aspect of your suggestion.
Thank you for your interest.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence

Acting Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Physical Fitness Program
REFERENCE: ER 78-6548 w/Attachment
(Employee Suggestion 78--339)
You indicated an interest in the proposal of
to establish a Physical. Fitness
rogram. Actually, the Office of Medical Services has
been interested in establishing a program for some. time
and has done considerable study toward its implementation.
Several fitness facilities were visited, a review was made.
of programs in government and the private sector, and con-
sultation was held with Dr. Richard Keelor, Ph.D.. s Director
of Program Development, President's Council on Physical
Fitness, Consideration was given to establishing a specific
objective for the ONIS FY' 79 MBO Program, but because of lack
of resources cited below, no program is currently under way.
2. Three basic reasons contribute to the lack of an
ongoing Physical Fitness Program: 1) additional people will
be required to manage and monitor the program.. For exalrtple,
Dr. Keelor recommends five full time and two part time
personnel in addition to OMS physicians who would. monitor
the program. Obviously, we could do with fewer but any in-
crease is not compatible with the emphasis on holding the
line or reducing ceiling; 2) funding to pay salaries and
purchase new gear and equipment would be sizeable. For a
program such as Dr. Keelor suggests $180,000 is considered
about right, and 3) last but far from least - in fact it
is probably the single overriding factor - identifying adequate
space to conduct an Agency-wide program. As you know, we are
desperately seeking GSA assistance in locating some 85,000
sq. ft. to relieve the anticipated needs in headquarters
buildings. There simply is not additional space that could
be converted at this time to a Physical Fitness Program.
3. On the positive side, we have had an Office of
Logistics architect develop a plan for considerably improving
our present facility. Approval has been given to proceed with

the renovations which will increase locker space to
accommodate 60 rather than 18 and to locate the dressing
room adjacent to the showers and slightly increase the
size of the exercise room. The completion date is estimated
at about 1 February 1979.
4. We will continue to look at ways to improve the
physical fitness of our employees but feel that without
adequate resources we are doing about all that. can be
expected. -

SUBJECT e, Physical Fitness Program
Government agencies have been encouraged by Congressional
legislation by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and
by the Public Health Service to establish physical fitness fac-
ilities for their employee's. Section 7901A of the Title V,
United States Code states, "the head of each agency of the
government may establish a health service program to promote
and maintain the physical fitness of employee's under his
jurisdiction."
In recognition of this, the Agency has considered a phy-
sical fitness program during the past months. It is proposed
that a pilot study be initiated, using the present physical
fitness facilities, obtaining some additional equipment, util-
izing the services of a medical physician currently on the staff
(1/3 to 1/2 of his time), and in addition, hiring one individual
with physical education background with a strong interest in
physical fitness to carry out the program.
The pilot program would include:
1. Structured exercise for a designated number of
individuals; namely, fifty.
2. Group exercise classes under the direct supervision
of the physical education instructor.
3. A formal jogging program which is structured, i.e.,
a prescribed jogging course but not under direct
supervision.
The entire physical fitness program should be under the
Office of Medical Services. Enrollment in any aspects of the
program, i.e., jogging,`group exercises, individual structured
exercises, should be based on:
1. The personal physician's review of the employee's

history of contraindicated medical problem.
2. Written permission from the private doctor
and verification of no contraindicated medical
problems.
3. Each employee over the age of 50 should have a
yearly physical in his employee health chart or
every two years. if he is under the age of 50.
4. Each individual enrolled in the project should
have an interview with the medical officer in
charge of the program.
5. The physical exercise specialist would set up
goals for each individual in the structured
exercise program, taking into consideration the
private physician!-.9 recommendations and monitoring
these goals.
The structured program would utilize current equipment in
the exercise room plus adding several other stations so that it
would have a treadmill, wall pulley, balance beam, bar bells
and weights, stationary bicycle, rowing machine, medicine ball,
jump rope and chinning bar. In the structured program, each
individual would work at each station for a prescribed number
of minutes working toward a goal which is dependent upon the
individual, i.e., jump rope 30-50 jumps. The individual and
the exercise specialist will set up goals for each exercise
station. A card indicating the individual's progress will be
kept. The individual will normally exercise three -times weekly.
The medical officer in charge of the program would have
administrative responsibility for estimating the utilization of
the physical fitness program. The physician would help in its
administration and planning for enlarging or modifying the
current capabilities. In addition, the physician would have the
responsibility for interviewing each individual enrolled in S0INTL
pilot study.

SUBJECT Physical Fitness Program
1. The idea of establishing a Physical Fitness Program
for the Agency has been under study for several months. The
rational, need and authority for a Physical Fitness Program
appears to be well founded. Section 7901 (a) of title 5,
United States Code: "The head of each agency of the Government
of the United States may establish ... a health service
program to promote and maintain the physical and mental
fitness of employees under his jurisdiction." The President
stated in Executive Order 11807 of 28 September 1974: "As
the Nation's largest employer, the Federal Government has a
special obligation to set an example for all employers by
providing for a safe and healthful working environment for
its employees."
2. The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports
has recommended that heads of agencies in the Federal Government
recognize the importance that the contributions of regular
exercise can make the job performance as well as employee
health and do whatever in their power to make provisions for
Federal employees to participate in either on-the-job exercise
programs or exercise programs after duty hours. Exercise rooms,
showering and dressing facilities should be provided wherever
feasible.
3. The United States Public health Service strongly supports
the Council's recommendation since authority exists for Federal
agencies to promote and maintain physical fitness for their
employees.
4. Several fitness facilities have been visited in recent
weeks and progr
