Dear W. Casey:
The Commission in recent months has noted a significant increase
in the emplacement and construction of site improvements to
enhance security at various Federal facilities in the National
Capital Region. The Commission understands the need for such
features and wishes to assist in their planning.
Some of the improvements installed recently have not been
submitted to the Commission for review as required pursuant to
Section 5 of the National Capital Planning Act of 1952, as
amended, and the Commission's Site and Building Plans Submission
Requirements. In some cases the proliferation of security
features, such as guard booths and barriers, has seriously
diminished the visual character of important sites in the Nation's
Capital. We believe that in most cases coordination with and
review by the Commission could avoid potential adverse visual
impacts of security features without compranising their role and
function.
We understand that there is frequently an important timing
constraint associated with the installation of security
improvements. Agencies planning such improvements should,
however, coordinate with the Commission in their early design
stages in accordance with the Commission's Submission
Requirements. If contacts are made by the sponsoring agencies in
a timely manner, the Commission reviews and recommendations on
projects can be accommodated without significant impact on the
timing of such projects.
If your agency is planning security improvements we urge you to
make contact with the Commission at the earliest possible stage to
ensure that the required reviews occur in a timely manner which
will allow Commission recommendations, if any, to contribute to
your design and planning process. For your information and

reference, a copy of the Commission's Submission Requirements is
enclosed. The Staff of the Oomnission will be pleased to assist
you in your consideration of proposals for security improvements
and in arranging for Commission review. Should you need any
assistance, please contact Robert Cosby, Director of Review and
Implementation, on 724-0191.
We look forward to continued coordination with you and other
agencies in the National Capital Region in accommodating needed
security improvements while protecting the visual character of the
Nation's Capital.
