1. IW:istin , facilities; A_crea~3e - The Agency cor.~trolled property
at Langley consists of approximately 170 acxe:s.
In addition, the Agency hac: advised GSA/~PBS that it would
like "first rei'u.sal" on 32.22 s.cres known as the "Scattergood-
Thorne" property, if the Bureau of Public Roads (the present
assignee) desires to release it.
The Bureau of Public Roads property, generally to the west
of the Agency property contains 361.5 acres.
Buildings - The~Headquarters Building contain
sq. ft. ross of floor space. 0 11floornspace.a Total grossispace
contains
25X9 in the b sq. ft.
The Bureau of Public Ros,ds property has two buildings con-
taining a total of approxianatel~t 68,000 gross sq. ft.
Sdhile the Agency site is adequately developed, including
roads, walks, utilities, parking cafeteria service, etc., there
25X1X3 is no available space, in the present buildings, to accommodate
the
2. Construction Requirements: utilization of the headquarters site,
or the adjacent Bureau of Public Roads site, would require
extensive construction activity. The constxRZCtion might be done
by:
a. Government funding through Gam, or possibly
b. alease-purchase arrangement with a private
contractor (i.e., turn-ltey)
Another possibility would be to relocate Agency components
presently at Langley to leased space in other buildings away from
the Headquarters site. In that event, extensive alteration work
to the existing building would be requixed~ as would modification
z~7ork to the leased space. A "checkerboard" program would be
required to effect the necessary moves, as would funds for leasing
and modification of the outside space.?
3. Considerations:
a. Depending upon final site selection, it wilh.:be
necessary to construct additional parls:ing, access roads, and
wants .

b. Certain utilities systems need extension, expansion,
or provision made in additional construction for neia, in-
dependent systems, such as primary and back-up power distri-
bution, a.ir-conditioning (chilled water system, water dis-
tribution, steam distribution, telephone facilities, sewage
collection and pumping, ~tnd classified waste disposal.
~+. Ad_vanta~es; There axe a number of advantages to locating this
facility at Headquarters;
a. Such action would compliment the Agency goal of
consolidation of all feasible elements at Langley, which
would lead to more efficient mexiagement.
b. Better security would be achieved
c. Langley is easily accessible by public and private
transportation via all weather highways.
d. A majority of supporting facilities are available
at the site.
e. No appreciable relocation of personnel would be
required.
f. If NPTC were also relocated to Langley, new facilities
could be completed while the existing ones continue to operate,
providing a minimum of disruption.
g. If the Bureau of Public Roads property were obtained
for Agency utilization, it would provide more room for this
facility and provide a capability for additional expansion
when necessary. Also security of Agency assets is further
e~iki.anced by physical space expansion.
It is possible that effective utilization of the
existing Bureau of Public Roads Buildings could be made.
h. If the existing Headquarters Building were modified
to accept this project, such work as necessary could probably
be accomplished mare quickly than new construction. Also
the alteration work might be accomplished without extensive
Congressional cansideratic~ns and other approvals.
Also this approach would not indicate an abnormal
"expanding Agency" image to the public ar the Congress.
i. The "lease-purchase" approach to construction has
the advantage of not requiring initial large fund approvals
and outlays.

,5. Disa.dvcnta~es Limitations); Thexe are a number cif disadvantages
to locating this facility at TIeadquarters:
b. Additional automouile parking w3.11 be required.
c. An increase in the size or capacity of certain
utilities uystems will. 'cue necessary.
d. If the operation is a separate building, an increase
in the guard force toill be needed.
c. If NPxC remains at its present location, a separa-
tion of :~'lznctional units m3.ght result.
f. Considerable time for Congressional approval and
completion of constxuc~ion will result 'if "conventional"
procedures are utilized.
g. The "enlargement" of the Agency may result in
unfavorable public reaction and Congressional {political)
opposition.
h. I~' forts to obtain Bureau of Public Roads property
could result in considerable Bureau opposition.
i. Alteration of the existing Headquarters Building
is limited by the physical characteristics of this structure
such as location o~ colunms, walls, utilities lines, etc.
j. Relocating present occupants of Tieadquarters
results in further decentralization or separation of the
Agency, aU well as implementing an expensive "checkerboard"
operation.
k. Approval by the Director would be required to
acquire additional leased space.
1. Construction contract by the "turn-key" method
may create legal and other problems 'by creating private
interest and investment on public property.
