1. On 7 November 1980 I was called by and subsequently spent
an hour with OCC, providing background on
the problem between DCID 1/19 and ISOO Directive No. 1.
referred her to no - apparently part of OGC's problem
was identifying the problem.
2. 1 made available a quick briefing on APEX; provided a
copy of the note on DCID 1/19's legislative history; a copy of
your memo to the DCI in which you alerted him to NFIB`s possible
use of DCID 1/19 at the 18 November meeting; a copy of the
President's letter telling the world that the DCI was to
implement APEX in keeping with E.O. 12065! a m uesses on
why the Community was raising 1/19 as an issue.
took the approach that her legal readings showed that E.O. 12065
superseded DCID 1/19 and that the APEX world would have to follow
the E.O.
3. If she missed it, you might want to point out to 0GC
that APEX was recommended by Community members who were aware
that DCID 1/19 would fall by the wayside.
