M&URANDUM FOR THE RECORD:
SUBJECT: Civil Service Reform Legislation
1. The undersigned spoke with Mr. Michael O'Neil, Chief Counsel,
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, regarding the Civil
Service Reform legislation.
2. Mr. O'Neil informed me that he had spoken with Mr. David Minton,
of the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee regarding our
proposed amendments. Apparently Mr. Udall is unwilling to accept our
amendment that deals with limiting the Special Counsel's investigatory
authority re Hatch Act violations to agencies of the competitive
service. Mr. Udall feels that (1) our amendment would exempt far
more than CIA and (2) the intent was to have all investigations of
Hatch Act violations under one person--the Special Counsel.
3. Mike's first thought is to drop the issue, although he allowed.
that we could regroup here, develop narrower alternative language which
he will then consider and presumably present to Minton. Legislation
Staff, with consultation of OGC, will draft new (more narrow) language.
