ATTACHMENT
(1) With the exception of the Credit Union which will be moving
to the newly-constructedi site shortly, the only
Office of Personnel component which should not be relocated
to Langley is the Washington Area Recruitment Office (WARO).
It is necessary that an office serving the general public as
WARO does be located in a more convenient locale which is
easily accessible to public transportation. With the opening
of the Metro station in the Rosslyn area, there has been a
noticeable increase in WARO activity. It is felt that the'
Agency would experience a significant fall-off in interviews/
inquiries if it were necessary for applicants to visit the
Headquarters compound. It should also be noted that movement
away from the downtown WDC/metro area would have a negative
impact on minority recruiting.
Another significant reason for excluding WARO from the Langley
facility involves cover considerations. Although WARO visitors
occasionally may see a covert Agency employee at Ames Building,
the problem would be greatly compounded through increased
accessibility to the Headquarters complex. It would not only
invite the casual compromise of identity of covert employees
but would also encourage foreign intelligence service operations
for that purpose.
WARO staffing would range from
employees.

4 b Based on statistical data received from the Human Resources
Planning Staff, it is anticipated that the 1983 Agency ceiling
will reach an approximate II Allowing for a 'five percent
margin for growth, total ceiling could reach 0 by 1987.
It is expected at this point that the ceiling would level off.
The percentage of Office of Personnel ceiling as compared . o
Agency ceiling over the past seventeen years averages
Using these calculations, it is anticipated that OP's ceiling
would reach =by the year 1987 plus part-time,and reimbursable
employees as listed below:

Because of the type of services provided by the Office of Personnel
the growth/reduction rate of this office depends largely upon
total Agency strength. Provided that Agency ceiling remains fairly
constant during the next several years, that areas of growth will be
offset by areas of reduction, and allowing for a five percent growth
rate, the OP ceiling projections for the year 2000 .are as follows:

4 c Office of Personnel Headquarters machine support projections are
as follows :
"Terminals
Support is required for the currently installed and planned
44 terminals and approximately 12 unplanned terminals, for a total
support level of 56 terminals by 1987, and two Design 100 printers
and GE Terminet.
und)
Barring any new major ADP projects in the Office of Personnel,
the growth rate for terminals is about two per year. This means the
.total support requirement for the year 2000 should run about 82
terminals, with perhaps one additional printer.

This figure, however, could be considerably larger if a
move is made towards the use of terminals as word processing
equipment (paperless environment). In this case, it would be
expected that at least one additional terminal for each Office of
Personnel component would be required or approximately 20 ad-
ditional terminals by the year 2000. Thus, the total terminal
support requirements would run to at least 102 terminals for the
Office of Personnel.
Processors
Currently, the Office of Personnel is using a ,mini computer
in Ames Building to support the Applicant Processing_System (CAPER)
/ and is currently developing an Insurance System PERINSUR. A move
in the near future would require that this mini computer also be
moved to the Headquarters facility. In late 1981 a larger mini
coo--puter will be installed"in the Ames Building and the current
machine will be used as a backup. These two mini computers would.
have to be moved to Headquarters when these two OP components
relocate there. Given a several year lead time (for software
development), it would be optionally possible to move both the
CAPER and PERINSUR systems to the Headquarters computer system..
Such a decision would have to be made on response time and
availability requirements for these two systems.
Additional processor support can be expected by the year 2000
through the gradual automation of the numerous manual personnel
control systems in the Office of Personnel.
:New'Equipment
Currently a look is being taken at the possibility of con-
verting the paper-based personnel file system to a microfilm-based
system. While such a system could ultimately reduce the space
requirements for the central file room, it would require upgraded
environmental controls.
Additional Storage Requirements
There are presently no major projects planned which will
call for large increases in on-line computer storage requirements
for the Office of Personnel. However, it can be expected that
storage requirements will continue to grow at a nominal rate.
4 d The Office of Personnel would have no unique requirements beyond
those necessary to support current computer and communications
technology. However, the use of a microfilm-based. personnel file
system could increase the localized floor loading in the central
.file room area. Such a system would also require upgraded environ-
mental controls. Also, the mini computers which would be relocated
to the Headquarters facility would require environmental controls
as.heat and the lack of humidity will effect the reliable operation
of such'equipment.
