General Counsel, OMB, regarding the multi-faceted issue of garnishment
of Federal employe-ages. Nichols said a final determination had been
made that Civil Service Commission would draft regulations for all agencies

Order next week. also expects to have the Justice Department's draft
legislation cleared next week. Nichols believes the only way to fully protect
the Agency's interests in these cases would he to get an exemption in the

this issue to its employees under cover so that hopefully the garnishment
