The Invisible Government had awarded him an invisible medal.

* The "B.P.R." stands for Bureau of Public Roads, which really does have two buildings at Langley. One is a
research laboratory for testing road materials; the lab also has a wind tunnel to measure the effect of breezes on
suspension bridges.

* Under Central Intelligence Agency and under United States Government. The 1964 Washington phone book
had something new -- it listed a downtown "Employment Office" for the CIA.

* The exact final construction cost is classified, according to a spokesman for the General Services
Administration.

* Each worker in a government building takes up an average of about 150 square feet of office space, according to
figures compiled nationwide by the GSA since 1960. On this basis, the CIA building would hold 8,187 people.
However, as Dulles indicated, the space-per-worker figure can be much lower. Washington's new Civil Service
Commission building has 135 square feet per worker, for example. At that figure, the CIA would house 9,097
people. Based on these space-utilization figures, some 8,000 to 10,000 people would work at the CIA
headquarters at Langley.

* Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, which built the U-2 and along with NASA served as a front for the CIA,
announced on November 3, 1962, that Powers had taken "a routine test pilot job" with Lockheed at Burbank,
California. "It involves checking out the U-2s that are modified, maintained and overhauled," said a Lockheed
public-relations spokesman. A CIA source said the same day that Powers had left the agency because "his work
was finished." After the U-2 was shot down in May, 1960, both NASA and Lockheed announced that Powers was
a civilian pilot employed by Lockheed. Actually, he was flying for the CIA under a $30,000-a-year contract he
had signed with the intelligence agency in 1956.

* From a twenty-page limited circulation booklet the CIA published about itself in 1961.

* Around the Edge of War, Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., New York, 1961.

* Torpats lost his case. Both the U.S. District Court and the Court of Appeals upheld Dulles.
