On January 21, 1982, the Commission approved a revised master plan for the
Central Intelligence Agency site at Langley, making recommendations covering
various issues which should continue to be addressed as planning proceeds.
A copy of the Commission's action is enclosed for your information.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the
assistance provided by the Fairfax County staff during the preparation and
review of the revised master plan. We particularly appreciate the assistance
provided by your Office of Comprehensive Planning in working with us to
arrange the early consultation meeting held in July 1981 at the Massie
Building. This meeting provided the opportunity for the establishment of
contacts between the General Services Administration and CIA staffs and their
consultants and the staffs of the County and State Governments and COG.
Following the early consultation meeting various offices in the County
Government were very cooperative in coordiiting with the GSA/CIA consultants
in the data gathering and assessment of potential impacts. Finally, the
thorough and thoughtful comments and recommendations provided by the County
Government in response to our formal referral of the revised plan were very
useful and helpful to the Commission in its review of the proposal.
One of the recommendations incorporated in the Commission's action encourages
GSA and CIA to continue to work with the State and County Governments, in
coordination with the citizens of the area, to select an appropriate program of
off-site roadway improvements that will meet traffic needs, giving special
care to minimize impacts on the surrounding community and the CIA site
to the extent possible. The CIA has provided us a letter, a copy of which is
attached, in which commitments are made to cooperate in this effort and to
seek Federal funds to cover the cost of the selected improvements. We believe
the cooperative spirit of all the parties involved provides an environment in
which agreement on the off-site roadway improvements can readily be achieved.
The Commission will, of course, be pleased to assist in any way possible in
the resolution of this issue.
Formal referrals of project plans are not normally made following the referral
of and action on master plans. In view of the level of interest of the County

Government in the planning for the CIA expansion, however, we will be pleased
to coordinate with you and your staff during the planning for the Phase I
development and make a referral of the preliminary site and landscape plans
for Phase I when they are received. A referral at the next submission stage,
in addition to the continuing coordination, will provide the County Government
an opportunity to review how well the plans respond to recommendations
concerning traffic impacts, impacts of the disposal of excavated material,
and other issues raised in your recent review.
Thank you again for the County Government's assistance in this planning effort.
We look forward to continued coordination with you and your staff in the prepara-
tion and review of plans for Federal development proposals in Fairfax County.
Sincerely,
