1. In discussions with your staff, Metro Facilities, we have been
advised that our selection of the permanent service option should be
elected as soon as possible. This memo documents our selection of the
service and our understanding of the conditions of that service. You will
note the concurrence of the Director, FBIS which indicates the importance
of this to this office.
2. In accordance with the Bell Atlantic quote, which is attached,
FBIS would like to elect the second option. It should be noted that we
are electing the higher one time cost and lower monthly charge.
3. The two 2-way video channels requested should be in accordance
with our discussions with your staff. Specifically, we will require the
ability to transmit both video and audio. The audio/video will not be the
standard composite normally experienced in U.S. TV. Please contact me or
have Bell Atlantic contact me for technical details.

Dear Glen;
As requested the following'are the development rates for the
permanent service between headquarters and the key building.
These prices are for two, two way video channels. I must
emphasize that presently these are unapproved, development
rates. They represent interim prices that will be approved once
the Agency selects a pricing scheme from the alternatives.
Although they are not firm, these prices should be suitable for
budgeting purposes:
OPTION 1 OPTION 2
Monthly S 14,075 Monthly S 4,470
1-Time 2,465 1-Time $385,935
Term Liability S 436,.940*
*Reduces 1/60th a month remainder only due and
payable if service disconnected or moved.
Once you determine which option is more suitable, please
call me and we will complete the approval process, I can be
reached on 495-6113.
