22. (Unclassified - HMS) LIAISON Sent a copy of the Agency
publication "The International Energy Situation: Outlook to 1985" to
Suzanne Meeker, of Representative Bud Shuster's (R., Pa.) office, per
her request
23. (Unclassified - RJW) LEGISLATION Called the Senate
Committee on Governmental Affairs to check on S. 2596, a "Presidential
Papers" bill. I was informed that the bill is pending with no formal action
scheduled on it.
24. (Unclassified - RJW) .LEGISLATION Called the Subcommittee
on Government Information and Individual Rights of the House Committee on
Government Operations to check on the status of H. R. 10998, a "Presidential
Papers" bill. I was informed that the staff is reworking the bill for subsequent
reintroduction. Nothing further has been scheduled to date.
25. '(Unclassified - RJW) LEGIS ION Called the Subcommittee on
Civil and Constitutional Rights of the House Judiciar ommittee to inquire
as to the status of H. R. 10400, the FBI charter bill. I was informed that
while more hearings are planned, n o thing to-Zf' P been scheduled.
26. (Unclassified - RJW) LEGISLATION Received a call from
Tracey Cole, OMB. She was returning my two earlier calls regarding our
views letter on H. R. 11383, the "Peace Academy" bill. OMB asked to review
the letter before we send it to Chairman Dante Fascell (D. , Fla. ),
Subcommittee on International Operations of the House Committee on
International Relations. OMB has had the letter for review and clearance
since yesterday (27 May). Tracey said that since the Administration has
flatly opposed the bill it is OMB's policy to request that any agencies that
comment thereon refrain from proposing amendments to a particular
provision lest the proposed amendments be construed as constructive approval
of the remainder of the bill left unaddressed by the particular views letter.
Tracey asked that we delete that paragraph of the letter that suggests
amendments and substitute therefor a simple statement of opposition.
I indicated that that was acceptable. I told her that as soon as the letter
was signed we would send it directly to Chairman Fascell with a copy to her.
This was acceptable. On another matter, Tracey said that the President has
opposed enactment of H. R. 11326, a bill to establish an Institute for Human
Rights and Freedom. I informed Tracey that we would not be commenting
on the bill.
