4. 1 -1 - JGO) Met with Mr. Charles Johnson, Staff
Director, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who advised
the Manpower Subcommittee scheduled hearings to begin on S. 1035, the
Ervin Bill, on Wednesday or Thursday, 12 or 13 June, dependent upon
the availability of Chairman John Macy, of the Civil Service Commission,
who will be the first witness. Mr. Johnson also advised me for the record
that members of the Committee staff and Civil Service will be drafting a new
bill on the subject. Due to the press of Committee business Mr. Johnson
and Mr. Bray will be tied up for the remainder of the day and during the
morning tomorrow. I plan to meet again with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bray,
or whichever is available, tomorrow afternoon.
Late in the afternoon I received a call fro 25X1
I who advised that he had just talked briefly with Mr. Bray,
who was still on the floor, indicating that the Committee is tentatively
scheduling NSA and CIA to appear before the Committee on Thursday, 13 June.
5. - JMM) Visited Philip Kelleher, House Armed
Services Committee staff, to remind him of our continuing interest in
expediting action on cost-of-living adjustments for retirees (H. R. 13705).
Kelleher said that the Committee was preoccupied for the next several days
with hearings on the Navy budget and he would be reluctant to try to interrupt
these. Moreover, even if the Philbin Subcommittee was to hear and approve
the Agency proposals, the further requirement of approval by the full
Committee probably will not be feasible for some time because of the press
of other business. However, Kelleher promises to push the matter as
rapidly as possible.
6. I- LLM) Mr. Ed Feulner, House Republican
Conference Committee, called in connection with their failure to receive
thel over the last two weeks. F-- I
is sending the Committee the back copies and explained that the omission
was most probably due to the loss of the Addressograph plate. Mr. Feulner
was advised and was appreciative of our efforts.

7. y - CEA) Talked to Victor Zasra, Bureau of
the Budget, concerning the present status in the Bureau of S. 1035. Zasra
said BOB has not yet received reports from all of the agencies from whom
reports were requested and particularly from the Civil Service Commission.
He was unable to give me any forecast as to the Administration position on
this bill and said he would call me as soon as the report from CSC is received.
At his request, I am sending him a copy of the Section by Section Analysis
which was furnished to Charles Johnson, of the. Post Office and Civil Service
Committee staff. I pointed out that this was a very low key presentation and
that he would be better guided by the earlier report which we had furnished
to the BOB.
8. - CEA) Talked to Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel,
Senate Special Subcommittee on Internal Security, on the status of S. 2988.
Sourwine said it is awaiting Committee action but he could give me no date
as to when it would be considered. The report on the bill has been prepared
in draft but it also must await Committee action.
25X1
9. - LLM) Accompanied Mr. Maury to a scheduled
meeting with Representative Claude Pepper (D., Fla.) for the purpose of
advising him of certain Agency activities within his congressional district.
Mr. Pepper was unable to meet with us due to the unexpected activities in
the Rules Committee and on the floor. Our meeting with Mr. Pepper was
rescheduled for 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in his office.
10. I I - LLM) In the company of Mr. Maury, met
with E. M. (Tiny) Hutton, Administrative Assistant to Representative
Thomas Downing (D., V:.. ), in the Congressman's absence. Mr. Hutton
is relatively new to the office, but apparently is an experienced hand in
Mr. Downing's district. He appeared to have a favorable disposition
toward the Agency.
