I'm planning a trip to Washington D.C., and I'd like to take in a tour of
CIA headquarters. Does anybody know how to arrange one--I know they used
to have them. Also, the NSA has a museum in a hotel that has a real
Enigma machine and a bunch of coding equipment from the 1970s. Does
anyone know where it is and how to get in to see it?
thanks much,

Chris

The NSA home page http://www.nsa.gov:8080/ lists directions to the crypto
museum. I believe that the CIA page http://www.odci.gov/cia may have the
other info you need.

CIA does not give tours - NSA has a museum right on their compound at Fort
Meade in Md.

He may be thinking about the tours that the Pentagon still gives.

For security reasons, the Central Intelligence Agency does not give tours to
walk-in-visitors. It has, on rare occasions, granted limited campus access
to groups associated with the intelligence community. I've been on it.
They didn't give us a "pentagon-like" tour and show us the seal on the old
main lobby floor, or Nathan Hale's statute, etc., but keep us penned into
the bubble with copious amounts of security officers watching over our
group. But we did get to go to the gift shop and purchase CIA trinkets for
the grandkids!

The NSA does not give tours either. But they do have an "intelligence
museum" outside the main entrance.
