Approved For Release 2001/07/27 : CIA-RDP86B00985R000400090002-8 Approved For Release 2Q&1/07/27 -&A-RDP86B00985R000400Q&9002-8 Foreign journalists generally are not admitted to the Central Intelligence Agency. When you have found out how your visitors are being transported -- buses or private cars -- notify your Security Officer and Space Maintenance & Facilities Branch so that arrangements can be made for parking permits to be handed out at the gate and so that parking spaces can be made available. If necessary, Security can arrange to leave the George Washington Memorial Parkway gate open past the normal closing hour of 8 p.m. Security will arrange for receptionists in Auditorium lobby and for the X-ray machine to be manned by Security personnel. The Public Affairs Office has found it helpful to supply our own personnel to supplement the receptionists in the case of large groups. Security will arrange to have specified areas roped off if group is going to the Rendezvous Room or any other part of the Agency Building. Security will arrange to have as many extra Security personnel available as necessary. Security will arrange to have group exit through the Main Entrance. The Office of Security perfers your groups be transported in buses due to limited parking facilities available.

Dealing with more than one person on arrangements generates confusion and lack of coordination from the very beginning. Doublecheck everything the day before and/or the day of the event. The best made arrangements have a way of falling apart at the last minute! Name tags for outside attendees are most helpful when there is a reception afterwards. The tags enable the speakers to identify the person at the reception. If possible, name tags should be made and issued by the visitors. If your briefer uses a blackboard or easel, you should determine which side of the briefing aid he briefs from. This will enable you to position people, if necessary, so that their view of the blackboard/easel will not be blocked during the briefing. If you use the Auditorium, you will want to check on the air/heat. It tends to be either very cold or very hot at times. Send biographies of your speaker(s) to the contact point for his/her advance brochure and agree on the subject(s) to be treated in the briefing when you make initial contact. Get a short explanation of what your visiting group is and a list of the attendees to your speaker(s).
