ORGANIZATION a. At the time the present organization of the Logistics Office was approved (March 1953) the security element was establish- ed as a part of the Administrative Staff. The Security Officer, in actual practice, reported direct to the Chief of Logistics on all matters of a security nature re- quiring his attention. Security functions were successfully accomplished through direct communications between the Security Officer and the Chief of Logistics, and between the Security Officer and representatives of Logistics Office components. The proposal for establishing the Security Staff as a separate staff reporting directly to the Chief of Logistics was an organization change which proved successful in actual practice. b. Early in 1954 the security functions, including contract security, were divorced from the Administrative Staff of the Office of Logistics and established as a separate staff function reporting directly to the Chief of Logistics. 2.

The new regulation more clearly defined the policy and responsibilities of adminis- tering the program and specifically assigned to the Director of Logistics the primary responsibility for Industrial Security and specified the procedures which the Industrial Security program is implemented by the Security Staff of the Office of Logistics. 3. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, a. Foreign Arms Program The Foreign Arms Program was supported by the Security Staff in giving advice, guidance in arranging procurement cut-outs and coordinating the program with respect to procurement, shipments, personnel clearances, storage and liaison with those departments and agencies of government which would be concerned with the procurement and import of armaments. The program presented considerable security problems and involved the expendature of approximately twenty millions dollars.

BACKGROUND: As of the beginning of the above mentioned period, the Agency had Congressional Authorization in the amount of $38, 000, 000 for the construction of a new building (Public Law 155, 82nd Congress). Even though this authorization existed, consideration was being given to the possibility of moving into some existing building such as the Navy Building, Munitions Building or GSA Building. 2. ORGANIZATION: a. As of July, 1952 the planning work was being carried out by the General Services Office which included the Real Estate & Construction Division. b. On 20 August 1952 the RE&C functions of the General Services Office was transferred to the Office of Procurement and Supply and carried with it the work of planning the new building. On May 24, 1953 the Procurement and Supply Office became the Logistics Office. c. On August 16, 1955 a Special Project Staff was established in the RE&C Division charged primarily with the planning work for the new headquarters building.

Effective October 4, 1955 the present Building Planning Staff was established in the Office of Logistics 3. COMMITTEES: In order to assist with the planning of the building and determination of Agency requirements, committees were established at various times as follows : a. On NeveMb'Wr 22, 1954 a Steering Committee was established consisting of the following members: Deputy Director (Administration) (Chairman) Chief, Real Estate & Construction Division (Secretary) Deputy Director (Intelligence), Deputy Director (Plans), Assistant Director for Communications, Director of Training, Assistant Director for Personnel, Inspector General, General Counsel, Director of Security, Comptroller, Chief of Logistics. The purpose of this .committee was to make recommendations on policy matters connected with the new building planning. The Steering Committee held its first meeting December 2f' 1954. b. On August 30, 1955 a SubCommittee was established for the purpose of reviewing requirements submitted by the various components of the Agency. The membership of the SubCommittee was as follows : Mr. James A. Garrison, D/OL, Chairman 25X1A Approved For Release 2005106/22_: CIA-RDP82-00765R000200140001-5 Approved For Release 2005/ c.

CONSTRUCTION AGENT: Since the beginning of the new building project the Agency had worked with the Public Buildings Service of GSA in compiling estimates and considering methods for meeting our space requirements. Since the Agency did not have the large construction organization required to properly carry out the detailed planning and construction of a large office building it was determined that PBS would act as Construction Agent for our project. Accordingly, under date of February 6, 1956 an Agreement was executed between the two agencies, the principle provisions of which were that: a. PBS would negotiate a contract with the firm of Harrison & Abramovitz for Architect-Engineer services.

All sketches, plans, estimates and specifications would be approved by both CIA and PBS. c. PBS would execute all construction contracts subject to prior approval by CIA. d. PBS would supervise the work covered by such contracts. 5. CONTRACT CONSULTANTS: a. On August 11, 1955 the Agency entered into a contract with Clarke & Rapuano for assistance and advice in connection with the selection of a site. b. The firm of Harrison & Ab:ramovitz was selected to serve as Architect-Engineer for the project and as of June 30, 1956 a contract for their services was ready for execution by PBS. (The Contract was actually signed on July 5, 1956. It provided for the design of the superstructure and the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. The fee was set in the amount of $1, 751, 300.) 6. FUNDS: a. As stated above, there existed prior to the beginning of this reporting period, an authorization in the amount of $38, 000, 000. As it became apparent that this amount was not sufficient in view of increased costs, it was decided to approach the Congress with a request for a larger authorization. 4 Approved For Release 2005/06/2 , IA:pDP82-00765R000200140001-5 Approved For Release 2005/0& l -RDP82-00765R000200140001-5 b. In 1955 PBS gave us an estimate of $50, 840, 000 to construct a building providing a net area of house approximately to STAT 25X9 Budget approved the estimate but reduced it to an even $50, 000, 000. c. On July 15, 1955 Public Law 161, 84th Congress was approved. This Act authorized the construction of a headquarters building for the Agency at a cost of $46, 000, 000 and also authorized an additional $8, 500, 000 for transfer to the Department of the In- terior for use in connection with the extension of the George Wash- ington Memorial Parkway to the site at Langley. d. Following the approval of the authorization, Public Law 219, 84th Congress approved August 4, 1955 appropriated $5, 500, 000 for the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for a headquarters building. e. On June 1, 1956 the SubCommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, conducted hearings on our request for the appropriation of the remaining money authorized by Public Law 161. (The appropriation requested is contained in Public Law 814, 84th Congress, approved July 27, 1956.) f. Hearings related to these Acts are listed in paragraph 8, REFERENCES.

During the early part of the period consideration was given to the possibility of moving into an existing building and at the same time studies were being conducted as to the suit- ability of various building sites. However, a memorandum dated June 24, 1953 from the Public Buildings Service advised us that after careful study they had, concluded that the best solution to our problem would be the construction of a new building. Further, the Commissioner of Public Buildings suggested that the Langley site was the best available. b. The Agency concluded that the Langley site would best serve our needs and arrangements were made to have trans- ferred to us from the Bureau of Public Roads, the Agency owning the Langley tract, The Langley site was approved by the National Capital Planning Commission and the National Capital Regional Planning Council after Clarke & Rapuano had conducted a special study comparing the ad- vantages and disadvantages of the Langley site and the Winkler Tract in particular, as well as other possible locations. NCPC approval was given on 5 December 1955 and with that approval site selection was final. Approved For Release 2005/06/22'r, A DP82-00765R000200140001-5 V.,.

Detailed space planning was started in late '54 with the submission of estimates of space requirements by each office level element in the Agency. The estimates were carefully re- viewed by the SubCommittee on space requirements and by the end of 1955 reasonably firm planning requirements had been established. The original estimates totaled of net Agency space and the SubCommittee's initial review brought STAT Upon completion of this STAT review the SubCommittee functions were turned over to the BPS and that Staff began detailed studies and analysis of the require- ments with a view to compilation of a Space Directive. 8.

Greater emphasis was placed on planning functions, current and long-range, for more effective support of operations.

Approximately personnel on duty were absorbed within the Planning Staff, which subsequently became known as the Coordination and Requirements Staff. Coordinatooa were assigned to each DD/P Staff and Area Division. Major functions were to coordinate logistical problems in operations and plan overall logistical support required world-wide; to review, consolidate and forecast Agency administrative and operational materiel requirements; and to analyze Agency support aspects worldwide, consistent with force projection concepts in all areas. Continuous liaison was maintained with the DD/P operating elements and with the military services.

Qualification standards for logistics planners were corrected and modified to permit positive identification and proper utilization of all personnel engaged in logistics planning as a major duty. The Planning Staff recommended policies, later adopted, for providing more efficient and. expeditious logistical support. Noteworthy among these were: direct Office of Logistics communication with the field on logistics matters, assignment of logistical planners on CINC Staffs for war planning duties, and assign- ment of logistics career designations to all Agency personnel performing primarily logistics functions.

These estimates, commonly referred to as the approved by the DCI on 3 June 1953 as the basis for logistic strategic stockpiling. In January, 1955 the Materiel Reserve Estimates Group conducted a DD/P area survey to revise the "Cabell Figures" and to produce the following: (1) Estimates of general war and/or emergency clandestine act- ion indigenous personnel which CIA should be prepared to support. (2) Determination of specific types and quantities of materiel required to support indigenous personnel engaged in various categories of clandestine operations.

Two distinct categories were involved, the establishment and maintenance of an emergency reloc- ation center, and the furnishing of guidance and direct support to other Agency elements in planning their wartime operations. To fulfill this latter responsibility, a War Plans Branch was established within the Planning Staff, working in close contact with the War Plans Division, PPC Staff to develop logistical aspects (annexes, if required) of Agency and CINC War Plans. 25X1 In order to assure Agency military reservists of billets on CIA Staffs on D-day, personnel mobilization requirements were prepared-for all reservists in the Office of Logistics during Fiscal Year 1956.

For the first time Theater Commanders and Agency Senior War Planners were provided with logistic guidance and basic planning procedure, data and responsibilities re- lating to peacetime planning action to be taken for wartime reciprocal support of UW operations. This guidance was disseminated in July of 1956 to Theater Commanders and CIA Headquarters, and was further implem- ented during Fiscal Year 1957. Unified commanders will submit to the JCS a comprehensive logistics appendix- to theur unconventional warfare plans. These will be tabulated by the executive Agency concerned, and requirements levied on the Agency for procurement and stockage of items peculiar to CIA which will be required in strategic reserve on D-Day.
