Mr. Ed Strait
J. Y. C. Hyde, Jr.
September 23, 1954
Pursuant to our telephone conversation end at your request, I am
returning the attached file.
As I told you, it seemed to me that it might be wise to discuss
our proposed reply with Justice before we sent it. Accordingly, I
caIIed them and was put in touch with Mr. Herschel Plaine (ext. 5j),
who drafted the August 20th letter to us. He was in general agreement
with our proposed reply.
Mr.. Plaine, however, did express the view that Justice thought it
very difficult to distinguish between executive and legislative com-
missions and that, in any event, they saw no need to make such a dis-
tinction here. They felt that any commission created by act of Congress
could cause a separation of powers problem with respect to obtaining
information from Executive agencies.
There is one other point I ould like to raise. Would it not be
desirable to have the phrase to the extent permitted by law" read
"to the extent otherwise permitted by law" to avoid the argument that
the law in which the phrase itself is contained permits the furnish-
ing of the information?
