Messrs. Wattles, Fisher, DDS; Warner, OGC; an
IG, concerning the implications for the Agency of S. 2515, Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Enforcement Act of 1971. It was agreed that Mr. Fisher
would contact the Civil Service Commission to get the Administration's
position on the federal employees section of the measure and their reaction
if the section was modified to apply solely to the competitive service.
13. (Unclassified - LLM) Talked with Bob Vagley, Director of
the House General Subcommittee on Labor, concerning the prospects for
equal employment opportunity legislation. He said he believed the Congress
would approve a bill and that 90 per cent of what is ultimately approved would
come from the Senate version. After our problem was reviewed briefly with
him, he said he was in agreement with our position; that he felt we could
count on support in the House committee in conference, but that we should
also make our case in the Senate, and he suggested that we touch base with
Gerald Feder, Counsel, Senate Subcommittee on Labor, and Eugene
Mittelman, General Counsel of the Minority Staff, Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee.

with thanks, the book "Water on the Brain" by Compton MacKenzie which

Mr. Blandford reviewed the biographic material on the members of
the Board of National Estimates and suggested that they might well be
stamped official use only to insure that necessary changes could be made

Nedzi Committee report. The biographic sketches were furnished to the
Committee as a followup to the meeting at Headquarters with the Nedzi
Subcommittee.
