OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 28 August 1972

1. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from Mr. Arthur Kuhl,' STATOTHR
Chief Clerk, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who asked if I could
2. (Confidential - JGO) Talked to Mr. Robert Blum, Senate Foreign
Relations Committee staff, as a followup to the request of the Chairman for
review of OSS files on Indochina. I made an appointment to meet with him here
at Headquarters on Wednesday, 30 August.
See Journal of 16 and 17 August.
3. (Unclassified - GLC) Called Ray Jacobson, Director, Bureau of
Policies and Standards, Civil Service Commission, to check with him on
developments on the Ervin bill as it was attached as Title II of H. R. 12652.
Mr. Jacobson said the Commission is preparing backup material for Chairman
Celler's use if it is decided on the House floor that the Ervin amendment
(Title II) is germane. Jacobson said this material would consist of a series of
amendments which would make the Ervin bill conform in general to the
provisions of the Hanley bill (including exemptions for FBI, CIA and NSA)
but which would eliminate certain features of the Hanley bill which CSC considers
objectionable--principally the establishment of a new board. Jacobson said they
have talked with Justice Department in an effort to get them to intercede with
Chairman Celler on this bill and are also contacting the Defense Department and
the White House.
I told Jacobson that we had drafted a letter for the Director to send to
Chairman Celler pointing out our concern with Title II of H. R. 12652 as it was
added in the Senate. Jacobson said as long as we supported the position of the
CSC in opposing the bill generally he saw no problem in our also pointing out our
specific concerns. I am sending a copy of our draft letter to Jacobson for him
to review.
