MEMORANDUM FOR. THE BXCORO
SUBJZCT: Conversation with Mr. Charles Johnson, Counsel for
House Post Office and Civil Service Committee
1. During the course of a conversation with Mr. Johnson on
this date. I asked him about the status of H. R.: 5007, Congressman
James H. Morrison"s (D. , La,) bill entitled, "Overseas Differentials
and Allowances Act.,, He thanked ins for jogging his memory on this
and informed me that Congressman Morrison. ranking Democrat on
the Committee, had ordered hearings on this bill along with the
Overseas Benefits Bill, H. R. 5178, on Wednesday, 10 June. It is
apparently Morrison's plan to take up these bills in connection with
the overseas teachers' pay legislation,
H
. B., 5178. H. was advised informally that we felt that Agency problems
with respect to the medical bill related to security considerations
pertaining to procedures arranged by the Civil Service Commission for
the administration of such a program. I added we felt that we could
resolve these problems with the Commission so long as sufficient
latitude remained is the bill for the Commission's determinations.
Mr. Johnson is aware of our desire to discuss certain points in connection
with H R
5007
.
He was ifd thh

3. In connection with H. R. 5007, Mr. Johnson indicated that
there would probably be a number of minor changes made by the Committee.
They may decide to have a clean bill including the amendments introduced
in preference to amending the existing bill. He added that since it would
be f
hi
or
r~n to take up with the Committee the other changes

proposed, it might be desirable for the Agency to appear before
Committee to discuss our amendments. It should be noted here that
both of these bills will specifically repeal certain sections of the CIA
Act. In this connection we have taken a position with the Bureau of
the Budget on previous similar bills that we would se no objection
ee P. L. Ti0 sections in the enactment of more
liberal general legislation on these subjects.
4. In anticipation of action on both of these bits, we have
Lil with interested Agency officials including the
f Personnel, the Comptroller, Special Support Assistant to
the DD/S, and the DO/S. W. shall continue to keep these offices
apprised of developments on these bills.
