MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: H. R. 2989--Missing Persons. Act Amendments
1. At the request of Lt. Colonel Jack Reiter, Air Force L & L,
the undersigned accompanied Colonel Reiter and Mr. Allen Morrison, of
Air Force JAG, to a meeting called by Mr. William Darden, Senate
Armed Services Committee Staff. In essence it is Mr. Darden's judgment
pending further advice from the Air Force people that the addition of the
phrase "detained in foreign countries against their will" adds little to the
existing terminology of the Act. He feels the phrase "interned in a foreign
country" is sufficiently similar in substance as to make legislation on the
point not worth the effort.
2. Mr. Morrison will check his international law people on cases
construing the phrase "interned in a foreign country" and will advise the
undersigned and Mr. Darden of the result.
3. It is also Mr. Darden's judgment that the Internal Revenue
Act provision contained in the amendments should be reviewed by Senate
Finance Committee rather than Senate Armed Services.
