CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
10-YEAR ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
I. AGENCY MISSION
The Central Intelligence Agency, under the direction of
the President and/or the National Security Council (NSC), advises
the NS.C in matters concerning such intelligence activities of the
Government departments-and agencies as related to national security
and makes recommendations for coordination of such intelligence
activities; correlates and evaluates intelligence relating to the
national security and provides dissemination of such intelligence
within the Government; collects foreign intelligence, including
information not otherwise obtainable; develops, conducts, or provides
support for technical and other programs which collect national
foreign intelligence; and conducts counterintelligence activities
outside the United States with other agencies within the intelligence
community.
II. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
We are unable to offer a quantitative 10-year energy
management plan because of the limited types of operations within
the Agency which lend themselves to measurable energy savings.
However, we. have attempted, where feasible,. to incorporate energy
efficiency standards into all ongoing programs which offer potential
energy savings. What should be stressed is that this Agency has
traditionally been energy conscious; therefore, no large measurable
savings in energy can be expected year after year without a detri-
mental effect on mission and operations. We reaffirm our commitment
to eliminate energy waste whenever discovered and shall continue to
pursue a program designed for continued savings in this critical
area of energy conservation.
The General Services Administration (GSA) maintains the
Government-owned buildings which the Agency occupies and is responsi-
ble for reporting on the energy conservation measures taken in those
buildings; although we do not control this significant area of energy
consumption, we continue to support strongly and comply fully with
GSA's energy policies and procedures.
In view of the foregoing, we have focused our energy
conservation efforts primarily on the operations involving vehicles.
We find it difficult to achieve additional savings in automotive
fuels without adversely affecting our mission. We are, however,
striving to maximize, to the extent possible, existing systems which

would stretch operational efficiencies a bit further. We have
developed a comprehensive automated mileage fuel consumption
reporting system to track progress and provide a centralized
functional data base for monitoring Agency fuel usage. Guidelines
have been established to ensure the flow of pertinent statistical
data required for measuring progress. In accordance with
Executive Order 12261, dated 5 January 1981, we are converting an
unleaded gasoline storage tank to gasohol in preparation for the
conversion of selected Agency fleet vehicles to gasohol. More
intensive efforts are under way to ensure Agency cargo movements
are consolidated in order to maintain maximum efficiency from each
trip. Greater reliance is being placed on rail, rather than Agency
or commercial truck shipments. We are making every attempt to
satisfy official vehicle requirements by procurement through GSA of
more fuel-efficient subcompact and compact cars. Other actions
taken in the vehicle operations area include replacing worn tires
with radial tires, inflating, tires to their maximum pressure,
controlling the interval between motor tuneups for optimum per-
formance, and replacing older gasoline-powered trucks that meet
replacement standards with more efficient diesel-powered trucks.
In addition, we have purchased energy-savings devices such as air
deflectors and fan clutches for our trucks. While all these ongoing
actions contribute towards energy conservation, unfortunately, few
are measurable in terms of significant savings because of our
relatively small motor pool operation.
While concentrating our efforts primarily on vehicle
operations, we have not neglected other less energy intensive areas
which may also offer potential energy savings. Our policies for
maximizing the use of existing functional systems extend also to
the below-listed areas. Although our efforts in such areas may
contribute directly or indirectly to the overall Federal Energy
Program, again, many of the actions taken are not measurable for
statistical reporting.
*In coordination with the GSA, a small boiler was
installed in the power plant which now allows maximum effi-
ciency when the steam loads are too light for the large boilers.
?Agency architects and engineers have been success-
ful in influencing the design of a new leased facility which
will result in a number of innovative energy conservation
measures being incorporated in the construction.
?We are actively exploring the feasibility of
using combustible waste as a potential energy source.

?Preferential reserved parking has been made
available as an incentive to encourage employee carpools
and vanpools.
?We are attempting to maximize the reliance on
mass transportation through increased employee awareness
programs.
?We have publicized energy conservation efforts
through the publication of internal notices and have
distributed pamphlets and wall posters containing energy-
savings ideas for both home and office.
?Carpool locator boards have been installed
throughout the Agency to assist employees in forming or
joining carpools.
*We have specified that energy efficient features
be considered in all future purchases or leasing of computer
equipment.

Office of Logistics
Agency Energy Conservation Committee
Recognizing that energy conservation continues to
be one of our highest national priorities, we have established
an Energy Conservation Committee to direct and monitor Agency
efforts in support of the national program. This Committee
is chaired by the Director of Logistics and is comprised of
seven senior members representing various components within
the Agency. Basically, the Committee will oversee the Agency's
conservation efforts in ensuring Agency compliance with appropri-
ate statutes and executive directives related to energy usage,
study and develop internal programs for energy consumption and
monitoring compliance, and assist in promoting good conservation
practices. This approach provides uniform direction through
the centralization of energy-management responsibility and
ensures consistency of policy and maximum utilization of
available resources.

IV. SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF REQUIREMENTS
Most of our energy conservation objectives are detailed
in our Agency Management by Objective (MBO) program. This program is
essentially a management review process for tracking major accomplish-
ments of selected. high priority goals and allows.for maximizing the
efforts of our limited resources. Energy conservation objectives
remain in the forefront of our MBO program and have been defined in
terms of clearly discernible milestones which provide a means of
evaluating progress within predetermined time frames. Our milestones
for FY-81 are on target and we foresee no appreciable slippage in
meeting the objectives discussed in the Goals and Objectives Section
of this plan.
V. PROBLEMS
Ours is not an energy-intensive Agency.. We have a
relatively small motor pool and trucking operation; for the most part
this Agency has relied heavily on the use of private automobiles for
official domestic travel. Our buildings-are widely dispersed through-
out the Washington metropolitan area. Public transportation is
extremely limited or nonexistent between our buildings, Capitol Hill,
the White House, and other Federal buildings. As gasoline becomes
more scarce and costly, employees are looking to the Agency for trans-
portation to meet official needs. The use of our motor pool vehicles
is increasing, along with requests for more frequent and extensive
shuttle bus services. These trends are significant and compel us to
provide adequate bus and motor pool service as the only viable
alternatives. While the mileage of POV's has dropped 45 percent
over the past two years, it has resulted in increased mileage for the
vehicles the President is monitoring - Government-owned and -leased
vehicles.
VI. INVESTMENT
Within resource constraints, we have attempted to identify
potential energy efficient enhancements or measures to be taken to
curb energy consumption in ongoing programs for inclusion in the
budget process. It would be difficult to predict a specific dollar
value amount for energy conservation measures by specific fiscal years
since many such measures and enhancements are built into ongoing
programs and would be hard to break-out and treat as separate entities
with assigned dollar amount. Included in the Agency's planning
process is the requirement for a building to consolidate at our existing
Headquarters complex, thus saving significant costs presently incurred
due to our dispersal to locations throughout the area.

VII. IMPLEMENTING INSTRUCTIONS
Numerous internal procedures, reporting guidelines,
and miscellaneous notices were published in support and implementa-
tion of the Federal energy conservation program. Reporting procedures
have been substantially restructured and refined to express
analytical data in as consistent a manner as possible and to provide
a comprehensive data base responsive to Federal and Presidential
mandates. The security classification of these internal-use
documents precludes dissemination outside of the Agency.
VIII. EMERGENCY CONSERVATION PLAN
In the event of a national emergency, we are prepared
to prioritize our functions and reduce those least essential to
mission performance.
