MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM Robert M. Gates
Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT Space
REFERENCE: Your Memo dated 23 June 83, same subject
1. I appreciate the opportunity to review the issue of space and welcome
any options that may prove helpful in solving this problem. In reviewing your
memorandum, it would perhaps be simpler to comment on the various points in
order of occurrence.
2. The DI allocation of Headquarters space being vacated (43,205
sq. ft.) does not take into account an agreement made some weeks ago, prior to
your memoradum, concerning 6C43 Headquarters between Mr. John Stein and
myself. John agreed that the current occupants of 6C43 Headquarters
(TTAC/OSWR) would remain in place. No other space was traded or affected by
the 6C43 agreement. Therefore, the reallocation of ref. para. 4 should
reflect an additional 2,626 sq. ft. of space for OSWR on the 6th floor for a
new total of 45,833 sq. ft.
3. Attachment A, of your memorandum, appears to have omitted several of
our projected requirements submitted originally on 17 November 82. Our EURA
office's requirement for 2,250 sq. ft. and understatement of OGI's original
requirement by 7,759 sq. ft. should raise the total DI requirement by
approximately 10,019 sq. ft. for a total of 58,913 sq. ft. You note in para.
5 that 3,170 sq. ft. of our projected requirement has been satisified. This
is a matter of perception since SOVA gave up 44,968 sq. ft.~ and
received 40,035 sq. ft. in Headquarters with 3,170 sq. ft. o ea quarters
space going to other DI offices. The net difference to the DI is a loss of
1,763 sq. ft. of space (44,968 -43,205 = 1,763).
4. I agree with your paragraph 8 assumptions with the exception of the
following:
A. As previously noted, assumption (a) does not credit
the DI with the 6C43 Hqs. 2,628 sq. ft. of space
given to us by the DDO.
B. The final assumption (g) does not take into
consideration our earlier space requirements which
were based on a current space squeeze and went on to
factor in 1983 and 1984 growth. Your assumption
begins with an approach to the space requirement
based only on the 1984 growth and assumes there were
no previous problems which is not the case.

SUBJECT: Space
5. Since we are not in complete agreement on the assumptions, your
proposed courses of action, or options, are somewhat more difficult to
address .
Option A -- Except as reflected below in comments on
Options A and B, the absorption of position growth
in present space (after SOVA's return) is our only
real choice.
Option B -- I have identified a portion of
the Analytic Methods Branch, Analytic upport
Group/DDI as candidates for a portion of the Key
Building space. We are holding a more detailed
review prior to offering further candidates for the
Key Building space and will advise you of our
findings.
Option C -- See Option A. The return of SOVA marks the
DCI's (and Agency senior management's) recognition
that having a DI production or support office
outside of Headquarters imposes too high a cost on
our substantive work. While we will work on trying
to identify subordinate units that might be
considered for relocation until completion of the
new building, I do not intend to move an entire
office. We will absorb FY 84 growth in present
space if necessary to avoid this.
6. While I appreciate the difficult, controversial nature of the space
problem as one with no easy solution, I would be remiss not to insist on
proper space to carry out the DI's mission. The level of effort and
dedication of our employees demand it. We will continue to work closely with
you toward this common goal.
