SUBJECT: Facility Support for CAMS and GC03/1D16 Expansion
and possible options for providing space and other facilities
1. On 20 October the following met to discuss limitations
2. OL representatives described continuing efforts
directed towards the acquisition of sufficient external. leased
space to permit the relocation of personnel from Headquarters
and the subsequent allocation of the space thus vacated to
support CAMS and the GC03/1D16 expansion. These efforts
recently culminated in failure when the President of the
United States denied a request by Mr. Soloman, Administrator
of the General Services Administration (GSA), for the leasing
of an additional 70,000 - 80,000 square feet of space for CIA.
Because of this, ODP representatives were advised that no space
was available within Headquarters to support either of the
subject projects. Space required to accommodate SAFE and ADSTAR
was not discussed because the need date for such space is some-
time away.
3. Accepting as a point of beginning the fact that space
is not available, the attendees developed several options as to
how the subject projects could be supported:
a. Regarding CAMS the following options were
developed in order of decending desirability:
(1) Since CAMS can operate external to
wilding, locate CAMS at
0 0 W was selected primarily
imate relationship between
- and the CAMS project (subsequent to
the meetin an appointment was made to meet
with representatives on Friday,
28 October, to discuss this option).

(2) Locate CAMS at NPIC. NPIC was
a second choice because of known space
limitations at that location.
(3) Locate CAMS While presenting
far more implementation pro lems than either 1
or 2 above,still has the advantage of being
Government controlled space.
(4) Have space provided by the CAMS prime
contractor as part of the total system package.
b. Regarding GC03/lD16 expansion, ODP representa-
tives felt it essential that additional facilities be
contiguous with those they presently occupy. Since
this is not possible in the present environment, it
was decided that ODP would prepare by 1 November a
paper assessing the impact of failure to provide such
space on ODP operations. The impact paper would then
be studied by the Director of Data Processing and the
Director of Logistics, who could then discuss a proper
course of action. Even with the freeze on further leas
ing of space for the Agency it is still possible that
some people could be relocated from the Headquarters
Building to small blocks of external backfill space
(space which GSA already has under lease but is
currently vacant). To do so, however, would further
disburse Agency activities in the Metropolitan area.
In any event, action on this item will be deferred
until the ODP impact paper has been examined by the
D/ODP and D/L.

4. In addiition to the problems described above, long-
term space requirements for ODP were discussed as was the pro-
blem of giving proper weight to space needs in the selection
of ADP eq Regarding long-term space needs it was
felt that and other Agency locations outside of
Headquarters s ou d be considered as possible sites for future
computer centers. This issue can be raised with the Director
of Logictics at the same time the ODP impact paper is presented
to him. Regarding the need for greater weighting of space
requirements in ADP e uipment selection, a meeting will be
scheduled with C/ADP Procurement/PD/OL to discuss
this issue ( t to the meeting arrangements were made
to meet with on 21 October).
