OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Tuesday - 11 July 1972
1. Bob Lockhart, Assistant Counsel,
House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, called concerning the
Agency's retirement policy and the authority therefor. In response to my
question, he said the inquiry springs from a letter to the Committee com-
plaining that early mandatory retirements of Agency employees under the
Civil Service system were constituting an unnecessary drain on the Civil
Service Retirement Fund. Lockhart asked if I could see him on this in the
next day or so.
Mr. Lockhart said that the Committee staff proposal on the Federal
Executive Service, which is a revision of H. R. 3807, is all set to go and he is
optimistic that it will be approved by the House and prevail over the Senate
bill, S. 1682. The Committee staff proposal provides a complete exemption
from all aspects of the legislation for the Agency.
2. Colonel Pinckney, on the staff of the
National Security Council, called and asked for any information we could
provide him in the Senate version of the
military procurement authorization bill, S. 3108. 1 told Colonel Pinckney
we had not seen the language that apparently had been agreed upon, but that
it was our understanding that the ceiling had been set at In 25X1A
response to his questions, I told him (a) we did not know the basis for arriving
at that figure, and (b) one probable reason for cutback was to avoid a Senate
floor fight.

Moyer, in the General Counsel's office, Civil Service Commission, advised
that he had reviewed the nondiscrimination on account of age provision in S. 1861
(Fair Labor Standards Act Amendments) with Travis Mills, and they had con-
cluded that it was not inconsistent with the mandatory age provision of the Civil
Service Retirement Act because the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967 applies only to those within the ages 40 to 65. I explained to Mr. Moyer
why I felt a much stronger case could be made that the provision in S. 1861 is
a separate and distinct enactment in the "form" of an amendment to the 1967
Act and, as a result, the Civil Service Commission could not take comfort in
the fact that the 1967 Act does not apply to a person 65 years of age or older.
4. Delivered to William J. Van Ness, Chief
Counsel, Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, some material from
Mr. Chritchfield responsive to a request from Senator Henry M. Jackson.
5. Met with Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, who said the full Committee would like to
hear the Director at 10:00 a. m. on Wednesday, 26 July regarding the Soviet
strategic situation and SALT verification. Slatinshek indicated the Committee
would like to cover the same ground which the Director had covered with Senate
Armed Services, and would like to be sure that they heard the Director prior
to his appearance before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the same
subject on 27 July. I told Slatinshek the Director was out of town and would
probably not be back until near the end of the week but I would check with the
Director immediately upon his return.
Delivered to Slatinshek a blind memo regarding surplus military equip-
ment provided irregular forces in Laos through Agency channels, about which
Chairman Nedzi, Intelligence Subcommittee, had inquired during a recent briefing.
I explained that we could not provide definitive figures on surplus material
supplied through Defense channels. Slatinshek said that in this case he would not
show our paper to Nedzi unless Nedzi asked for it, since he thought Nedzi might
not understand our inability or reluctance to provide him with DOD figures. I
pointed out to Slatinshek the difficulties we might get into if we undertook to
provide congressional committees with information on what other U. S. agencies
were up to.
