5. (Unclassified - RJK) BRIEFING Joseph Overton, Legislative
Assistant, on the staff of Representative Barry Goldwater, Jr. (R. , Calif. ),
called to request a briefing for the Representative on aspects of the foreign
and internal policies of the :People's Republic of China. He requested the
briefing take place on either the 23rd or 24th of September in the late
afternoon. I told him I would lool.c into the matter and let: him know whether
the briefing could be arranged. OCI, has been advised and
sees no problem with responding to the request.
6. (Unclassified - DFM) LEGISLATION Received a call from
Bill Jones, INR/State Department, regarding the Agency's letter to OMB
on H. R. 1311.. 1 told Jones that we had not determined how we would
respond to State's request, but that I would raise the issue wit
on his return.
7. (Unclassified - DFM) LEGISLATION Called Bill Nichols,
General Counsel, OMB, regarding the multi-faceted issue of garnishment
of Federal employees' wages.. Nichols said a final determination had been
made that Civil Service Commission would draft regulations for all agencies
and that these would be issued following the expected signing of the Executive
Order next week. OMB 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 be to get an exemption in the
Act itself, and we agreed that this would be impossible in the present politica
climate. Lacking that, he feels the Agency must stress the importance of
this issue to its employee so that hopefully the garnishment:
issue will not arise.
8. (Unclassified - BAA) INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING Ed Rice,
Ad:nzinistrative Assistant to Representative Margaret Heckler (R., Mass, ),
called and asked if the briefing scheduled for the Congresswoman this
STATINTL morning at 11:00 a. m. could be changed to later in the afternoon. After
checking wit OCI, I notified Rice that our briefer would
be in their office at 3:00 p.m. today. This was fine with Rice.
