Mr. Anthony Mondello, General Counsel, of the Commission, to insure that
our offices are in accord in the various actions being taken concerning H. R, 11150.
Mr. Mondello told me for our information that the Chairman had forwarded a
letter with a copy to each member of the Post Office Committee outlining the
Commission's continued opposition to the entire bill and detailed in the letter
the fact that comments made by Commission representatives during the various
hearings on the bill had been in the spirit of providing technical assistance to
the Committee and had in no way been intended to soften or qualify the opposition
of the Commission to the bill. The official report of the Commission is in
process in the Office of Management and Budget and is expected to clear there
some time this afternoon for delivery to the Committee this evening, It is
anticipated that the OMB approved report will contain language to the effect
that the proposed bill is in opposition to the Presidentrs legislative programs
and policies.
