SUBJECT: Use of Government Vehicles for Official Use
1. In order to minimize the impact of a gasoline
shortage on the Agency's lactivities, this office
has been negotiating wit e eneral Services Administration
(GSA) for the assignment of official vehicles to the Agency.
This action was prompted by the concerns some of you expressed
to us at the onset of the crisis where your
operations were being affected because of the difficulties
you experienced in obtaining gasoline in the private sector.
In response to the dilemma we succeeded in
obtaining 13 vehicles from GSA to be used
Agency components
These vehicles have since been allocated to
2. It has long been the practice of the Agency to rely
extensively on the employees' private automobiles (POV's)
for official purposes on a reimbursable basis. The most
recent experiences in
Washington metropolitan area nave demonstrated that any
continuing gasoline shortage can adversely affect the
Agency's mission.

3. The transition from POV's to. government-owned
vehicles will ensure a ready supply of gasoline from official
facilities, such as, the GSA motor pools and military
installations. To-the extent that cover and security of
Agency operations can be protected, we are planning for the
possibility of replacing POV's with government-owned vehicles
for official-use. Such a plan, in addition to being responsive
to the Agency's mission in emergency situations, will ensure
an employee not being confronted with having to compete for
the limited supplies of gasoline. The current GSA monthly
rate for a compact sedan is $80.00 per month and .065 a mile,
which in many cases will result in a direct. cost savings to
the Agency when compared to the monthly reimbursement costs. F
4. This office is.working with-the Central Cover Staff
and the Office of Finance to-de dures
with GSA which will protect the
offices in the event they are assigned official vehicles. An
extension of this program will be to make GSA motor pool
vehicles available to employees while they are on temporary
duty assignments.
5. So that we may continue to develop this program,
please advise us of your vehicle requirements. Indicate where
the vehicles will be used, the approximate number of miles
you expect the vehicle to be operated per year, and if U. S.
Government or private licensing plates will be required.
Except for vehicles which are used for overt activities, such
as, personnel recruitment , the
vehicles assigned to the gency.wi not be 1 en 1 ied as CIA..
Offices which deem it'necessary for vehicles to be driven to
and from an employee's home in the course of official business
must be prepared to justify such use. Each component is
expected to fund for its vehicle needs.
6. Please send your res onses to the.Plans and'Programs
Staff, OL, by 14 September. II
is the des nated action officer
within this office of this program.
