OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
`Tuesday - 25 April 1978
1.1 1 LEGISLATION Spoke with Ginny Schlundt,
25X1 Counsel, House International Relations Subcommittee on International
Operations, with regard to H. R. 11383, a bill to establish a Commission
on Proposals for a United States Academy for Peace and Conflict
Resolution. (See Memorandum for the Record. )
2. I I LEGISLATION Spoke with Ken Hill,
at the State Department, Office of Management Operations, with regard
25X1 to amendments to the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1979,
scheduled for mark-up on 26 April. Mr. Hill said he had been doing
most of the ".footwork" with regard to the State-supported amendment.
Mr. Hill informed me that what once was H. R. 11458, a bill to establish
a national policy for the application of science and technology to United
States foreign policy, is now in what Mr. Hill called the "latest" amendment
form. I asked Mr. Hill to make available to us the latest amendment
which he consented to do. (See Memorandum for the Record. )
3? LEGISLATION Received a call from
Bill Fite, a member of the Minority staff of the House International
Relations Committee. I thanked Mr. Fite for returning my call and
asked him if he had any dealing with the State Department amendment to
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1979, scheduled for mark-up
this week and next. He said he has dealt with it only tangentially. He
indicated that the person to contact on the matter would be Forest Frank,
also on the staff. I asked Mr. Fite if the mark-up was scheduled before
the full Committee. He informed me that it is to be before the full
Subcommittee on International Operations and not the full Committee. I
thanked him for his help, and he said that I should feel free to call anytime.

until 1615 hours.

Chestnut, in the office of Senator Sam Nunn (D., Ga.). Chestnut said
their office had received a request for a CIA employment application for

constituent.

in the office of Senator Claiborne Pell (D. , R.I. ), in regard to his request
of last week for CIA information on former Swedish diplomat Raoul
Wallenberg. I told Christianson that the Agency did have some documents
which were originated by the State Department and that I would check
with State and ask them to provide the documents or provide them myself
if that was State's preference. Christianson said this arrangement would
be fine.
19. (Unclassified - DFM) LIAISON Called Chris Lay, Legislative
Assistant to Representative Steven Symms (R., Idaho) and told him the
Agency had no information at an unclassified level on Soviet research into
lasers and into other exotic weapons. I again stated our willingness to
offer the Representative a briefing on the subject and Lay said he would
let me know if the Congressman was interested.

21. (Unclassified - DFM) LIAISON Called Hal Ford, Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence staff, to ask about the background of the new
Committee request to see all NIEs for the past year. Ford said this was
Bill Miller's, Staff Director of the Committee, idea and I should check
with him. Ford said his impression was that this was not intended to be
a formal quality of intelligence study but merely to get an appreciation for
a year's NIEs and to see how they compared to previous ones in format,
subject, content, etc.
23. (Unclassified - DFM) LIAISON Received a call from
Martha MacDonald, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, who
indicated I arles Mathias (R., Md.) was interested in touring
She asked me to set this up with Mrs. Graves on
the senator's personal staff. I expressed reservations about handling
this through other than Committee channels and said I would talk to
Mac Donald about this in person.
24. (Unclassified - HMS) EMPLOYMENT Received a call from
Susie Williams, in the office of Senator Robert Dole (R., Kan. ), requesting
a professional employment application for a constituent. I told her one
would be sent to her. OLC Registry was advised.
25. (Unclassified - HMS) EMPLOYMENT Received a call from
Nancy Newcomer, in the office of Representative William Goodling (R., Pa.
inquiring for a constituent about the status of his employment application.
After checking with the Office of Personnel, I called Nancy and told her
that they could not find the constituent's letter of about a month ago and
that it was probably with letters regarding the advertisement in the New
York Times for employment opportunities with CIA because that was the
address which the constituent said he had sent his letter to.

26. (Unclassified - JEC) LEGISLATION Called John Seibert,
Department of Justice, to double check on the application of the proposed
amendments to the Federal Tort Claims Act to constitutional torts
committed overseas. He said the proposed amendments would apply
because the exemption contained in section 2680 does not apply to
constitutional torts. On the subject of disciplinary hearings, he said
that the FBI objected to Civil Service Commission review of decisions.
He added that the new language which had been drafted did away with
de novo review of disciplinary decisions. The reviewing body may look
at the administrative record or may remand for a better record.
Further,the reviewing body may increase a penalty if they find it
unreasonable but may not decrease the penalty.
27. (Unclassified - JEC) LEGISLATION Received a call from
Hilda Schreiber, OMB, who said that the Civil Service Commission
called her for a copy of our revised views on the Civil Service Reform
bill. She said OMB had not received a copy and wanted to know what
exactly was going on. I told her the person at the Civil Service Commission
had misunderstood and that our letter was only goingout to OMB today.
She promised to forward a copy to CSC as soon as she received it.
