OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Friday - 3 March 1972
1. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, who told me that he has reviewed in detail with the Chairman
the plans for the Director's briefing on the community budget and the component
briefings following therefrom and has received the Chairman's endorsement.
He told me also that a major Defense component representative visited the
Committee yesterday and asked to make a joint presentation with the DCI.
This was refused.
As for the scheduled visit to Headquarters by Messrs. Preston and
Woodruff, Senate Appropriations Committee staff, Mr. Preston will not be
able to attend until some time close to 20 April. The Friday's in the interim
that will be free from Committee briefings will be scheduled fully in preparation
for the hearings for the succeeding week.
Mr. Preston reviewed the draft response to Representative Evins'
(D. , Tenn.) letter that was discussed with him on Tuesday. It meets with
his full approval.
I briefed Mr. Preston on the following items:
3. (Unclassified - JAL) Received a call from Judy, in the office of
Senator Gaylord Nelson (D., Wis. ), requesting a China Atlas. I told her
someone would come by in the next few days with the Atlas.

4. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Mr. Robert Hull, Department of State,
called to report that the Office of Management and Budget had agreed with
Treasury on the definition of "unfunded liability" with respect to financing
retirement systems and that only "past" unfunded liability would be subject
to the graduated interest payments by Treasury. OMB has asked State to
come up with a proposal for funding the portion of "normal costs" not
covered by present employer /employee contribtuions. Hull said that he
understands that OMB intends to apply the same criteria to the CIA system.
One solution proposed by OMB would be merger of the Foreign Service
retirement system with the Civil Service retirement system. In response
to my request, Hull said he would send me a copy of the paper he is pulling
together on this general subject and it was agreed that somewhere down the
line, when more of the facts are sorted out, it might be well for the managers
of our respective retirement systems to get together to determine what joint
action might be in our mutual interest. (See Memorandum for the Record
of 27 January 1972. )
7. (Confidential - GLC) Richard Kimmel, on the staff of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy, called to say that the transcript of the
Director's briefing of 16 February was ready for us to pick up and correct.
I told him I would be by for it on Monday.
8. (Unclassified - GLC) I learned that the following persons will
appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, 7 March,
to discuss the provisions of the Armed Services procurement authorization
bill having to do with Laos: Mr. G. Warren Nutter, Major General George M.
Seignious (both of ISA), Mr. Donald R. Brazier (DOD Comptroller), and
Mr. William H. Sullivan (State Department). Mr. Colby has been advised and
