House Arme e, ?y? a-.qta to see whether he had had an opportunity
7-o mention to Chairman Lucien N. Nedzi (D., Mich.), Joint Committee
on the Library, our interest in having preliminary discussions with Library
of Congress personnel on the data program known as SCORPIO. Hogan
said Chairman Nedzi has been away and very busy and that he had not yet
had a chance to speak to him. I explained to Hogan that our talks with
Library of Congress people were at this point only in the interest stage
and Hogan saw no reason why we should not continue our discussions,
asking only that we keep him posted. We agreed that should any concrete
steps be contemplated we would definitely touch base with him first.

Paul Findley's (R. , Ill.) proposed amendment to knock out the ?1l% kicker"
when the CIARDS bill, H. R. 13615, is taken up on the floor next week.

13. I LEGISLATION Received a call
from Bob Haney, in the office of Representative Dominick V. Daniels
(D. , N. J. ). Haney had inquired of Bill Hogan's office, House Armed
Service,s-_o e staff, as to whether any amendrnen~s to t. IARDS
H. R. 13615, were to be introduced and was referred to me by
Mr. Hogan's secretary. I told Haney that Representative Paul Findley's
(R. , Ill.) office had called yesterday advising that Mr. Findley will
introduce a floor amendment to knock out the "1% kicker" in the
cost-of-living formula. I discussed with Haney the recently enacted
legislation in the Defense Authorization bill for FY 1977 and the, Foreign
Service Retirement Act amendments tying the dropping of this provision
in retirement programs to the Civil Service retirement system and
pointed out the inequity if the Agency were to be singled out. I further
explained to Haney that Mr. Findley's amendment could create serious
problems for the Agency since two-thirds of our employees are under
Civil Service retirement and would not be affected. Haney expressed
support for our position but said he could not speak for Mr. Daniels,
however, he will pass this information on and will get back to me if he
wanted anything further.
