The building houses part of the National Security Agency, a security and intelligence arm of the Defense De- partment. At the time of this transac- tion, the government was already paying annual rent m excess of $1,5 million to partnerships of similar makeup for space housing other parts of the National Security Agency. These leases were awarded during the'johnson administration. Lease In December, 1971, a partnership known as the Security Investment Co., which included the Rodgers brothers, Dickinson, Heffner and Hess, obtained a government lease (beginning in March of this year) of a building then in the under construction Woodlawn section of Baltimore County. Annual rental of the is building y $1,372,364. The building is next to one by the government since the closing days of the Johnson administration from the same company, also for Social Security offices. This lease was originally negotiated at $1.5 million a year, and was scheduled to run from January, 1969 to February, 19S0. with renewal options covering another 10 years. This spring, however, the GSA exercised the options almost seven years early, and added another three years, thus creating a contract which doesnt expire unti March, 19S3. This is in addition to the new leases awarded to this group during the Nixon administration. Several months before this action, in December of last year, the GSA awarded the Rodgers brothers, Dickinson, Heffner and Hess, all doing business this time as the Airport Investment Co., a lease at $164,730 a year for two floors of a building under construction near Friendship Airport for use as an Army Induction Station. rented u 7" light trimmer 372" nail scissors 4" sewing scissors 6" sewing scissors Notions, all stores 372" cuticle scissors 5" pocket scissors 5" sewing scissors 8" household shears ',St IL i BS835BSB5SBH 8 ' Klfe:, i! f , fv chest $ tf J 8" W'de, 6" deep 1 x 'stf- t 22 35" long, ' X' jik j 34" high, 20" wide, 12" deep under-be- d $ off on vinyl 20 protection for ... what-have-y- ou Lease Three years ago the Rodgers brothers and Dickinson, along with two other developers.
