Mr. Frank R. Carlucci
Associate Director, Office of
Management and Budget
Washington, D. C. 20503
The .Director has asked izie to reply to your memorandum of
April 7, 1972, requesting our comments on a draft Office of Management
and Budget Circular being corsidered for adoption as policy applicable
to Federal employee parking facilities.
The subject of parking facilities coy mensurate with the efficient
conduct of our operations continues to be of utmost concern to this Agency.
We have Leen working with the General erviccs Administration (GSA) for
many years to unsure that such facilit:ics contribute to c: mployee Productivity
at minimal cost and are consistent with the availability of public transportation
as well as environmental considerations. in view of this, we have reviewed
the Circular draft with interest.
It is foreseen that a policy and program to further the principles of
uniform, equitable parkin, space acquisition, assignment, and cost will do
much to increase the efficiency of those Federal elements located in congested
urban areas of high-traffic density, as in cities such as New York and
San Francisco, where the competition and costs for parking are greatest,
and where adequate, high-volume mass transit systems are now in operation.
Further, substantial benefits should also be attainable in the future when
t;;etrt)
coInpredien ive mass transit 'L yste:n.s now being developed, such as the
in the District of Columbia, are completed and placed in operation in of er
congested url.,,an localities.

il'o,?,'Cver, the do not ai recc that Policy outline in the draft
Circular should apply to those urea s where congested conditions and

mass transit systems are not yet availal.l.c. 1.;?1"1y Federal c:lizments,
such as our headquarters offices In the vicinity of i JcL.ean, Viri;inia, are

density do not exist and, as a result, asswssing employee:; for parking, is
not an accepted practice in such localities, either on the part of local
governments or the Private sector. Qktblic transportation to the limited
extent available is wholly inaderlate to the reeds of the person el considering
the areas In which most have found l ousir,
