authority or final judgment now reposed in agency heads by, or
under, statute for national security reasons in the interests of the
United States. "

perfectly clear that the Agency was contemplated in this boiled down version
of our suggested statement. ) Involved in this determination were: from the
House Committee on Education and Labor, Chief Clerk, Donald Baker;
Director of the Labor Subcommittee, Robert Vagley; Chief Consultant, Tom
Hart, and from the Senate Education and Public Welfare Committee, Counsel,
Gerald Feder; Associate Counsel, Donald Elisburg, and Minority Staff General
Counsel, Eugene Mittelman, representing respectively Representatives Carl
Perkins (D. , Ky.) and John Dent (D. , Pa.) and Senators Harrison Williams
(D. , N. J.) and Jacob Javits (R. , N. Y. ).
Separately, Representative Albert Quie (R. , Minn. ), Ranking Minority
Member of the full Committee, told0 he would support our position
and Representative John Erlenborn (R., Ill. ), Ranking Minority Member of
the Subcommittee, told me we could count on his full support.

above and Mr. Fisher was advised of the agreement on the language for
whatever action is necessary to keep the Civil Service Commission apprised
of these developments.
