Monday - 6 March 1978
1.1 LEGISLATION Spoke with Irving Jaffe's
secretary, at the Department of Justice, regarding Jim Conley's call to
Mr. Jaffe on Friday, 3 March. She said he had not been able to return
Mr. Conley's call and was now out of town. I relayed that Mr. Conley
was interested in whether Justice has proposed an amendment to the
Federal Tort Claims Act to cover constitutional torts overseas, and if
so what reception it received on Capitol Hill. She said she would check
and call me back.

1 LEGISLATION Called Mr. Bob Hull,
at the State Department, to ask him about the provision in H. R. 10691,
the International Development Cooperation Act, which provides that an
AID employee who is on the foreign service retirement system may have
his annuity based on a "high-one" instead of the high three consecutive years.
He said the State Department would probably submit an amendment that would
broaden the provision to include all foreign service officers. He asked me
if I found anything else objectionable in the bill, and I mentioned a few sections
I felt would have an adverse impact on the Agency.
3. LEGISLATION Called George Howe, at
the Civil Service Commission, and asked him for copies of the CSC draft
reform bill. He said the bill was available, and if I sent a courier over I
could have as many copies as I needed.

Mr. Dolan, in the office of Representative Joseph D. Early (D., Mass.),
who requested a professional employment package for a constituent.
OLC Registry will forward the material.

in the office of Representative Robert L. Livingston (R., La.), who asked
for a copy of the National Basic Intelligence Factbook. A copy was
