SUBJECT: Delegation of GSA Authorities Provision
in the Draft Fiscal Year 1985 Intelligence
Authorization Bill
1. Enclosed are the materials which you requested during
our meeting on 4 April concerning section 502 of the Fiscal
Year 1985 Intelligence Authorization Bill addressing the
Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) performance of certain
security related duties.
2. Enclosed at Tab A is the explanation prepared by the
CIA Office of Security on the need for the Agency to assume
this guard force function from GSA. This material includes
both a short unclassified explanation and a more detailed
classified justification. Enclosed at Tab B is a cost estimate
prepared by the office of Security which provides the
approximate cost savings which the Agency will enjoy once this
transfer of functions is fully implemented. Enclosed at Tab C
is an exact description of each of the specific authorities
which Agency officials will exercise following this delegation
from GSA. The material at Tab C has been prepared by the
Office of General Counsel and also contains a redraft of the
actual provision itself which tracks the language contained in
the 1980 charter legislation. As you will recall, the charter
provision essentially repeats verbatim the actual authorities
contained in section 318 of title 40. We would have no
objection to this revised provision being substituted for the
language presently contained in section 502. Attached at Tab D
is the Memorandum of Understanding reached with GSA which
provides for the delegation of this protective security
function to CIA.
3. Do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of further
assistance on this matter.

Resource limitations and the difficulties associated with
recruiting suitable candidates have made it impossible for the
General Services Administration to properly staff their guard
complements at Agency facilities.
In our view, the steps now underway to authorize a CIA
Security Protective Force will provide the degree of protection
necessary for Agency personnel and facilities.
