5, Frank Tsutras, Administrative
Assistant to Representative James Kee (D. , W. Va. ), called about the
employment prospects of an upcoming law school graduate who has yet to
satisfy his military obligation. I told him that while we are always pleased
to look at applications on bright prospects it was not our policy to intervene
on draft statuses and that the number of legal-type positions in the Agency
are extremely limited. Mr. T sutras said he expected as much, but wanted
to check it out with us directly.
6. F_ I Mr. Jack Norpel, on the staff of the
25X1
STATOTHR
Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, called and said the Subcommittee
was considering issuing a subponea on He said they
STATOTHR would appreciate anything that we might be in the position to give them
concerning I arrival and departure dates. I told Norpel I would
talk to our people about this and be back in touch with him if there was
anything that we could pass on to the Subcommittee. Later in the day,
Norpel called and said a decision had been made to suspend any deter-
mination on this issue until the Subcommittee meets after Labor Day
and, therefore, to cancel his request.

7. In response to his inquiry, I advised
Mr. George Murphy, on the staff of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy,
that his query regarding the classified document alleged to have been
received by a West German publication should be directed to the Army.

OGC, who had prompted this call, was informed of the above and the next
best step seems to be to request the Director of Personnel through his Civil
Service Commission connections to get a reading on the proposed revision
to Executive Order 10988.

Office of General Counsel, BOB, to determine if the Agency's exemption
under Executive Order 10988 (employee-management cooperation in the
Federal service) was in any way affected by the proposed revisions which

SUBJECT: Executive Orders - Processing in Bureau of
the Budget (BOB)
1. I called Miss Julia Manish, in the office of General Counsel,
Bureau of the Budget, who informed me that Mr. John M. Maury is listed
as the CIA contact for BOB in the clearance of proposed executive orders
and amendments thereto.
2. Miss Manish explained that in the coordination of proposed
executive orders it is BOB's responsibility to contact effected executive
agencies. She admitted that sometimes BOB fails to do this and they are
contacted by an interested executive agency which learned of a proposed
executive order through other channels. In light of this remark I asked
her for her general reaction if the Agency requested BOB to furnish copies
of all proposed executive orders, which would be the only way we could be
assured of participating in the first instance in determining the effect of a
proposed executive order on the Agency. She said they do not do this with
any other executive agency and she would advise against it as a useless
exercise, but that she would have to defer to the General Counsel, BOB,
if in fact we pursued such a request, which I assured her we were not
doing and that the question was merely hypothetical.
3. Miss Manish said approximately 60 executive orders a year
are issued, not counting a number of proposals not approved. She agreed
that the Agency's views on proposed executive orders is sought infrequently
but felt that they were aware of our primary areas of interest. She agreed
that in any instance where the Agency has an exemption from an executive
order that exemption should not be impaired through amendments without
BOB's soliciting the Agency's views.

4. In view of the above and based upon Agency experience,
it appears that there would be little justification for requesting for the
Agency an opportunity to review all proposed executive orders.
5. While the existing procedures do not offer 100 per cent
assurance that the Agency will see proposed executive orders which
may effect the Agency adversely, the chance of our being inadvertently
overlooked by BOB appears to be minimal and remedial action after the
fact is surely not as difficult in the case of executive orders as it is in
the case of legislation.
