The purpose of this letter is to inform you of NASA I S desire to acquire by transfer from the Air Force ,approximately 319 acres

, of land at Langley Air Force Base, Virgipja •

.As you may be aware, part of the facilities comprising the NA'SA Langley Research Center at Hampton, Virginia,arelocated on land permitted to N .. ;;SA from the Air Force. 'The remaiPing facilities are located on adjacent land owned by NASA. The. capitalized value of NASA -owned facilities located on the 341. 8 acres of permitted land (318. 56 acres in the \Vest _;;rea and 23.24 acres, in the East Area) is approximately $203 million. The capitalized 'Value of N-;;SA facilities on NASA .owned land is approximately $54 million. Maps and photos showing the different 'land areas are enclosed (Enclosures 1 and 2). .. .

Use of the permitted land stems f~omagreements dating back to 1919 between the War Department and the National 11 dv-J.s ory Committee for Aeronautics. The variolls agreements vIere, L~

1939, consolidated intoCl 3ingle perTnit which, although amended numerous times, is still in effect. The permit, which is revocable at will, is outdated in many ways. As matters now stand,both NASA and the Air Force have to keep separate accountiTlg records o'n the. land, submit related reports 'to theirlieadquarters offices and other

'Government agencies, arid ·administer a somevJhat antiquated and complex interagency permit which authorizes use of the land. In view of the continuing NilS .. '\ mission at Langley and the permanent nature of the facilities involved", NASA believes that good property management would cli'2t:-lte that oVJnershipshould be vested in the agency having primary use and cognizance over the area.

We also understand that, pursucmt to E'h:ecutiveOrder1150B, a joint Department of Defense/Gens:-3.lServices Administration real property utilization survey of L-3.ngley Air Force Base, Virginia, has been recenUycompleied. ~4lth6ugh NASi\ does not have a copy of the report of the survey, VJ8 understand that the GSA portion of the report recommends the transfer of approximately 319 acres of Air Force owned land in the Vlest A:-ea of LAFB to NASA. Because of the general location, and the intermingling of NASA improvements and Base improvements, use of the 23 aCres Of

,land in the East Area VJocld remain under permit arrangements from the Air Force. NASA is not propOSing a transfer of the land in the East Area because the parcels under permit there are not contiguous to any NASA owned land and ll-:J.e creation of enclave would not be feasible.

. .

In response to a recent inquiry from the Office of lvlanagement and Budget concerning the GSA recommendation, NAS.';· advised that we would advocate transfer of the approximately 319 acres of land in question for reasons set forth in. the letter, copy of which is also

'. enclosed (Enclosure .3). ,In our opinion, existing arrangements . concerning the furnishing of security) fire protection, and any

other services now being rendered to NASA, need not be affected by transfer of ownership in the underlying land.

We believe that this case is similar to the case involving AF Plant 57 Santa Susa.l1a Test Facility, California,'which your office rE?cently wrote NASA about. Inthat instance, your office advised that the GSA had completed an Executive Order 11508 survey of that installation and had recommended that the Air Force report A k' Dl !:lrot h/7 0 ...... ,.. ccc. -::>-nr/ P".,,+ ~+ he +~'"''''''<:",~Cl~-O~ .. ,.,. 7\T 1\ Ct 1\ Tn _ .. -. ~ ... _ .....

response to the Air Force request for concurrence in the proposed . transfer action, NASA indicated its vJillingness to accept transfer . subject to the necessary concurrences pf concerned agencies. Similarly to that proposed transaction,- we believe t..hat the cost .. of a transfer of the deSired land at Langley would be very nominal and should involve only the administrative e}""Pense of processing· the paperw ork incidental to the "transfer ~ .

In view of the foregoing, we ~Nnl appreciate being advised as to whether the Air Force would be wPling to initiate action to declare

excess, for transfer to Nl\SA, the approximately 319 acres of -land in the VJest Area of Langleyl\ir F.orce Ease. If'affirmative, NASA is prepared to initiate corollary action to obtain the necessary approvals to acquire that property by transfer .

An early reply will be appreciated . . ' .... -

-APR 6 1973 Dear Hr. Lilly:

This is in response-to your letter of Harch 12, 1973, concerning approximately 319 acres of land in the Hest Area -of Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, nm.; used by your admin-

. istration under permit from the Air Force. You requested advice as to whether the Air iorce would be willing t'o initiate action to declare this land excess for transfer to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

While we do not, agree that the Langley case (proposed transfer of a portion of a major Air Force installation) is analogous to the situation at AF Plant 57, Santa Susana Test Facility, California (transfer of .an eRtire Air Force facility used by NASA), \.;e _do agree to initiate action to. declare the 319 acres excess. This will, of course, require the e,pproval of the Assistant Secretary of Defen~e (Installations and Logistics) and a report to the-Committees on Armed Services of the Congress pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 2662.

Assuming approval of the transfer, we would want to review the further matter mentioned in your letter pertaining to continuing the present Air Fqrce support of your activi­ties on the 319 acres.

We will keep your real property office informed on the St3tus of our OVrtocc;-nO'

a. Compatibility of the proposed use with the authorized program ..

. (1.) ihe property under consideration will continue to be used as it is presently belng used. Research, technical and administrative facilities are constructed on this

. property in whi ch the activiti es of the NASA Langl ey Research Center (LaRC) are conducted. These activities are aimed at the provision of a sound scientific and technological basis for United States leadership in Aeronautics and Space, and the application of that information to the accomplishment of important national objectives In thi s endeavor, JaRe conducts a broad research andtechnol ogy-dev~l opment program ~:' .

o Expose and investigate the basic technical problems that confront flight progress

IOSA WASH DC 64. US6 (If more space is required, attach additwnal 8xlD;l.pages hereto)

... ,.., .....

. page 2 of' 3 )

o Improve the technological basis for the design, construction, and operation of advanced aircraft and space vehicles

o Identify and develop emerging opportunities for the achievement of major advanc'es in flight performance, utility, safety, and economy, and the undertaking of . worthy new flight activities

o Guide and support the resolution of existing flight problems; and the execution of important national aerospace programs ..

< o Promote the upgrading of aerospace manpower.competences,

the development of critical future industrial capabi:1ities;t and the broad applicatiori of aerospace research knowledge for important benefits to the national economy and welfare,

This transfer of property does not establish a.newauthorized program nor does it increase the level of the requesting agency~s existing program beyond that contemplated in the President·s budget or by Congress,

(2) In 1958, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act which created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at

. Langley Research Center, and at the same' time ceased the existence of NACA and invested in NASA all of the functions,- duties, powers~ obli~ gations, personnel and property of NACA ..

"The NASA program on the land proposed for acquisition is conducted pursuant to annual Acts authorizing and appropriating the necessary funds. Titles of the appropriations supporting the activity are: 'Construction of Facilities', I Research and Development', and 'Research and Program Management I • " The proposed change from land held under permi t to 1 and held in.feeis~not expected to have any appreciable effect on funding requirements. . '

b. taRC has invested more than 167 million dollars in facilities on land identified in block 6'. The cost to replace or relocate the facilities would be prohibitive; t.herefore because of the magnitude of the permanent facility investm~nt:j!1the West Area, no other property is suitable for the proposed use. . .

(l) BeCause of the large investment and 'mu1tip1e programs? the relocation of laRC to another Center or toother':Governmentproperty would not be feasible. The assignment of projects ~re based on LaRC capabilities and the facilities located at laRC are not duplicated per se at any other NASA Center or other Government Agency.

( ..

"

page 3 of 3

(2) Due to the technical nature of the'research facilities located at laRC, there are no alternate properties available which would provtde the necessary buildings, structures 'and capabilities.

(3) laRC maintains a continuing program of excess real property review in accordance with OMS Circular A-2, Executive Order 11508' andi denti fi cati on of unneeded Federal Real Property Federal Property Management Regulation 101-47."8 and the findings are reported annually.

(4) The property to be transferred, will not replace real property presently,under agency control but will consolidate the owned land and the land identified in block 6 'currently being utilized by NASA, LaRC.

c. Approximately 340.48 acres now used bylaRC but for which USAF holds title are requested for transfer to NASA. 'There 'are 318.56 acres currently under permit to ,NASA, 'laRC and an additional 21.92 acres being used by laRC as a taxistrip, helicopter flight operations, and an aircraft runup ramp equipped with blast fence and tiedowns. It was recommended by Col ~ F. G. Barnes, DCS/Civil Enginee"ring Headquarters TAC, tha"t the portion of this acreage being' util ized:by ",-aRC as a Power Check Pad be transferred to,laRC {s'ee attached . letter Lil\ll . buildings, facilities, and land to be acquired will be ful1yutiltzed -as they are now being fully utilized pursuant to the current permit~

d.· The estimated replacement cost of lands and facilities would exceed one-half billion dollars. Yet the actual sale price of th~ property would probably fall far ·short of ~his figure.

e. The economics involved in the transfer of lands will not result in additional cost nor in savings.

f. ,It is anticipated that NASA, laRC will remain in existence andfiJlly . operational for an indefinite period of time. We have operated.on the

land under consideration ona permitted basis since 1939 .

. g. Cooperation between laRC and USAF in numerous interagency agreements, is expected to continue unchanged by the transfer.

h. It is requested that the transfer be made without reimbursement as Dept. of the Air Force letter dated Apri16, 1973, from Mr. Donald R. Jackson, Acting Assistant Secretary of, the Air Force; to NASA indicates intent by the Air Force to excess approximately 319 acres for transfer to NASA.
