Ms. Arlene D. Schley
Acting Regional Administrator
National Capital Region
General Services Administration
Washington, D.C. 20407
Dear Ms. Schley:
Regarding your letter of February 18, 1983 concerning
Executive Order 12003, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
supports the policy of winter temperature controls set in
the 65-68 degree Fahrenheit range. I believe that energy
reductions have been realized at the CIA since 1975, and
General Services Administration personnel in the McLean Field
Office have been recognized for these efforts.
If the operating posture of the CIA had remained static
since the 1975 energy saving base year, I am confident that
even greater savings would have been achieved. The Agency,
however, has had to expand its computer and communications
systems to provide critical intelligence in the shortest
possible time. Since 1975, the Agency has found it necessary
to convert thousands of square feet of low energy office space
into high energy computer and communications space, and to
begin implementing the automated office concept. This has
obviously impacted on the 20 percent energy reduction goal of
Executive Order 12003.
This trend will continue into the late 1980's with the
planned construction of a new building at the Headquarters
site. While this new building will include more computer-type
space than is present in the existing building, modern and
innovative operation will be incorporated in the final plans
of that building.
You have my cooperation and assistance in meeting the
energy reduction goals consistent with the primary mission
of the CIA.
Sincerely,
Harry E Fitzwater

Mr. Harry F. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, DC 20505
This letter is written to request your assistance in enforcin xl
the heating N}t~
goals and constraints we will be operating under this
winter in General Services Administration (GSA) controlled
buildings located within National Capital Region (NCR).
We are all subject to Executive Order 12003, which among other
things, mandates a reduction of buildings' energy usage of 20
percent during the period 1975 to 1985. Instead of a reduction,
we have experienced a 2 percent increase in the NCR in FY 82.
Much of this increase could have been avoided with help from the
occupying agencies. Abiding by the FPMR prescribed temperatures
and turning off lights and equipment when not needed will
hopefully reverse the upward trend. With your help we can turn
this around.
There has been some confusion over President Reagan's
Proclamation "Rescission of Emernency Building Temperature
Restriction", of February 17, 1982. This Proclamation revoked
the earlier Proclamation No. 4813 which covered emergency
building temperature restrictions nationwide in both private and
Governmental sectors. The revoking of the emergency
restrictions put all GSA-controlled buildings (including leased
buildings) under the guidance of the existing Federal Property
Management Regulations (FPMR) (Title 41 Paragraph 101-20.116-3).
This FPMR, which has been in effect since 1974 (see Federal
Register Title 39-P39267), sets the temperature policy in
GSA-controlled facilities at 65-68 degrees Fahrenheit in the
winter. The required temperature levels are consistent with
standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration.

NCR has only been provided funding sufficient to support 65 to 68
degrees Fahrenheit building temperatures levels. All utility
hills, even those in excess of allowances, must be paid by NCR.
If utility allowances are exceeded, other services we provide
your aqency will be affected.
I request your cooperation and assistance in meetinq these goals.
Sincerely,
RLENE D. SCHLEY
