official vehicles. Responses in and being consolidated,
reviewed and negotiated with GSA.

HANDOUT - RESTRICTED USE OF PRIVATELY-OWNED VEHICLES
1. As discussed at the 8 August meeting of this Committee,
we began to look at a proposed. policy of restricted use of
POVs on official business.
2. We are now asking each committee member to comment
in this area, i.e.:
a. At what level should approval be required?
b. Should we reimburse for mileage over routes
with shuttle service?
c. Should the use cf u-drive-it official vehicles
be encouraged?
d. To what extent should we resort to regulatory
issuance to enforce approved policy?

3. Please forward your thoughts on this subject to
P&PS/OL,I Iby 19 October 1979.

1. Turn off all hot water taps in all sinks except one in
all restrooms. If necessary, remove the handle. (79-415)
2. Installation of vacuum gauge on all vehicles. Maximum
vacuum pressure will improve mileage by at least 10
per cent. (79-282)
3. Disconnect air conditioning units on all vehicles. Other
than buses and special purpose vehicles - Remove the fan
belt that drives the unit. (79-299)
4. Discontinue shuttle service to Rosslyn, East, State and
CHB. Provide shuttle service to major metro transfer
points. (79-302)
5. Shuttle Service from Pentagon. Home to Pentagon via
public transportation - Pentagon to Langley by Agency
shuttle. (79-314)
6. Instant start video screens. Many television sets, computer
terminal CRT's, and word processor viewing screens are
equipped with instant start features. This requires a
continuous electric current drain even when the unit is
turned off. Therefore, these sets are continuing to
consume power after duty hours, on weekends, etc. These
pieces of equipment should. be modified to terminate all
power consumption when not in use. This may be as simple
as requiring operators to disconnect plugs, or modifying
switches. Some word processors may have memory units
that require constant power, and restart could require
reloading of software programs. Microwave ovens in food
vending may have the same fast-start feature.
7. Pneumatic Tube System. Consider closing this system and
hiring part-time employees, (handicapped?) as internal
couriers. This is probably a large power consumer.
8. Electric Typewriters. Many papers such as routing slips,
draft paper, informal notes, could be handwritten or
typed on manual typewriters. Electric typing could be
reserved for final versions of formal correspondence.
This saves direct power use and heat load on the
building environment system.

9. Electric Desk Calucators, etc. Electric and electro-
mechanical desk calculators could be replaced with low-
power pocket or desk-type electronic models. Such items
as electric pencil sharpeners, electric erasers, etc.,
should be eliminated. Also, reduce the number of electric
clocks in offices.
10. Others. Revert to mechanical systems where electrically
powered items are now used such as: floor polishers,
carpet sweepers, badge-check machine turnstiles.
