Dear Mr. Lash:
This will confirm Mr. Lewis Robertson's July 7, 1986 conversation with you during which he requested two fixed Federal Protective Officer (FP0) pests, similar to the posts currently at the Matomic Building, for the 17th and IEth floors of our new White Flint North (WFN) Building. NRC is con-solidating its Headquarters activities in Rockville, Maryland as noted in the enclosed GSA news release dated April 11, 1986.
We base this request on the fact that the Commissioners will move to WFN and we would like FP0's in this building since it will be the focus of many sensitive meetings and public hearings. As you know, we have had demon-strations, threats, and arrests connected with our activities. Also NRC will have highly classified information at this location, as well as nur,arous visitors from foreign governments and international organizations.
NRC v ?uld like to have' FP0's at WFN because of the above needs and because of their high degree of professionalism.
We are currently planning for two posts (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> per day, five days a week, excluding holidays) and anticipate their need beginning in early 1987.
Thank you for your cooperation and your attention to this request. If you have any quesi. ions, please contact Richard A. Dopp on 492-4124.

U GSA $8641 NEWS Re ease Apru 11, 1986 GSA Purchases hhite Flint Building; Will Consolidate NRC In Rockville The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) tcday announ.W it has signed an a2ree ent with White Flint North Limited Partnership to purchase One White Flint ibrth, an 18-story office building in Rockville, for $47,500,000.
Final settlenant is scheduled for October. (
William F. Sullivan, carsnissioner of GSA's Public Buildings Service, said ,
the purchase is the first step in a 'two part consolidation of 2,600 enployees of the Nuclear Regulatory Ctanission (NRC), currently housed in 10 locations in Maryland and the District of Coltinbia.
Sullivan said this is GSA's first major purchase of a building in the Wash-4 ington suburbs for the consolidation of a govern.ent agency, including the relo-cation of NRC's headquarters staf f frcn high-cost downtown space. In addition to administrative savings, the consolidation gives NRC greater opportunities for efficiency as a result of having note of its offices in a single location now, and all of them there within the next three years.
The purchase agreement includes an option for GSA to lease space in an ad-jacent twin office tower, scheduled for construction within two years. Exercise of the option, which would permit full consolidation of NRC in Rockville, re-quires action by the House 'Public Wrks Committee.
"The purcha,se of One White Flint denenstrates GSA's ccmnitnunt to federal ertployees to provide safe, high quality office space in less expensive, suburban locations, with consideration given to ecututing time and accessibility to mass
! transit," sullivan said.,

Sullivan called the purchase a very sound investment." By owning the building rather than renting it, GSA estinates the current value of its savings at nore than S14,000,000. The purchase also allows GSA to avoid payments for taxes and insurance totalling nore than $400,000 annually.
Sullivan said the relocation implemnts President Reagan's Executive Or-der on work space canagerent reform by achieving an 80,000 square foot reduc-tion frm NRC's present requirements. The new space utilization rate will be 135 square feet per person conpared with 199 square feet now.
Following settlement in October, about 1,500 NRC erployees will begin nov-ing into the building, with full occupancy expected by January 1987.
The office tower is located at Rockville Pike and Marinelli Road on 2-1/2 acres across the street from the White Flint Ntro Station. It was conpleted in February, but never occupied. 'Ihe building has approximately 286,000 square feet of first-class office space, 10,000 square feet of prine retail space, 8,700 square feet of storage space, and four levels of parking for 446 cars.
According to Sullivan GSA anticipates income to the goverment from com-mercial leases at the site for tenant-related services will exceed S500,000 annually.
"GSA will continue to purchase buildings - especially in real estate narkets experiencing high vacancy rates -- because it is the most expeditious way for the governnent to reap the econcnies of housing federal employees in governnent-owned buildings," Sullivan said. -
