Administration, in connection with the OMB legislation referral on combining
earnings credits under the Social Security and Federal Civil Service Retire-
ment Systems. He explained the background of the measure, indicated that

NASA of information received from the intelligence community and what

6. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Richard Barton, Employee
Benefits Subcommittee, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee,
and told him that in the last discussion with Mr. Maury and Chairman
Hanley concerning breakfast date, the suggestion was made but not
discussed of a possible breakfast meeting at the Agency on a day when
Committee meetings are scheduled. Mr. Barton told me he saw no reason
why a Committee hearing could not be started late but that the Chairman
had not mentioned this possibility to him. He will explore this approach
to the problem with the Chairman at his first opportunity. Mr. Barton also
told me that only one member, Representative Charles Wilson (D. , Calif. ),
was able to make today's session. Testimony was received from Mr. Hal
Witt on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union.
I returned the transcript of the Committee hearing of 11 May that
was loaned for DDS review over the weekend.

session and will be held in room 4221 NSOB. Present witnesses scheduled
are Representative Ogden Reid (R. , N. Y.), who will lead off, followed by
Mr. Hillenbrand, State Department. Although the Department has not yet
confirmed on Mr. Hillenbrand, it is the Committee's understanding that he
will. be the Administration witness. The Committee has no information as
to whether Senator Case (R. , N. J.) intends to appear as a witness, although
it is reasonable to assume that he will testify on this bill.
8. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Richard Sewell,
Administrative Assistant to Representative Charles Bennett (D. , Fla. ), and
discussed with him the Agency response to the constituent's letter from
