ous debt of grati-
, and particularly
r bringing these
`undoubtedly rank. as a major historical
document. -.
At the conclusion of their report, the
Ervin committee recommended enact-
ment of a series of reforms to prevent
further abuses of executive power. These
recommendations, with the exception of
the specific campaign reform provisions
which were enacted last year in the Fed-
eral Election Campaign Act Amend-
ments, are all encompassed in the bill we
are introducing today.
Title I of the Watergate Reorganiza-
tion and Reform Act of 1975 creates two
important, new Government offices. Sec-
tion 101 establishes a permanent office
of the Public Attorney. The office would
be independent of the Justice Depart-
ment and the entire executive branch.
The Public Attorney would be nominated
for a 5-year term by three retired court
of appeals judges designated by the Chief
Justice of the United States. The ap-
pointment would be subject to Senate
confirmation. The office of the Public At-
torney would have jurisdiction to inves-
tigate and prosecute: First, ahe Lions of
corri ption in the executive_lzranch; see-
orid; cases referred by the Attorney Gen-
eral because of actual or potential con-
flicts of interest; third, criminal cases
referred by the Federal Elections Com-
mission; and fourth, allegations of vio-
lations of Federal election laws.
In addition to enhancing criminal law
enforcement within the executive branch
and in Federal elections, the mere exist-
ence of a vital office of the Public Attor-
ney would deter the kind of wrongful acts
that occurred in the Watergate scandal.
Because of this deterrent effect, it is
preferable to create this office now, rath-
er than waiting until some future crisis
when political emotions may be at flood
tide. Jurisdictional disputes between the
Public Attorney and the Attorney Gen-
eral should not be frequent or severe. On
the contrary, the office of Public Attorney
could be legitimately helpful to the Jus-
tice, Department, particularly where a
proper exercise of discretion not to prose-
cute by the Public Attorney might other-
wise give rise to public suspension of a
coverup by the Attorney General, Be-
cause the Public Attorney would be
chosen in the first instance by the judici-
ary--a common pattern in some States
'including my own home State of Con-
,,.necticut-and because the Public Attor-
ney must agree in writing not to hold
elective or appointive Federal office for 5
years following his term of service, the
office of Public Attorney would greatly
encourage equal enforcement of the laws
without regard to political influence.
Section 102 of the bill incorporates
Senator MONDALE's proposal-S. 2569 in
the 93d 'Congress-to establish a Con-
gressional Legal Service under the direc-
tion of a Congressional Legal Counsel.
The Counsel would be appointed by the
Speaker of the House and the President
pro tempore of the Senate from among
recommendations of the majority and
minority leaders in both Houses. Either
House of Congress, any congressional
committee, 3 Senators or 12 House Mem-
bers can. ask the Congressional Legal
Counsel to render advisory legal opinions
as to whether a President's actions are
within the bounds of his authority.
The same subdivisions of Congress or
number of Members of Congress may
instruct the Congressional Legal Coun-
sel: First, to advise private parties bring-
ing suit against the executive branch;
second, to intervene or appear as amicus
curiae on behalf of private parties; and,
third, to represent Congress or any of
its agents in any action to which they
are a party or in which. their official ac-
tion is in issue. Finally, either House,
and congressional committee, 6 Senators
or. 24 House Members can cause the Con-
gressional Legal Counsel to bring civil
actions against cfficers of the execu_Uve
branch- to erao~?ce an _ advisor opinion
of the _Congressional Legal Service,
The creation of its own litigation arm
would allow Congress to protect its in-
terests in court. By guarding against the
executive usurpation of legislative func-
tions through such devices as executive
privilege and the impoundment of duly
appropriated funds, the Congressional
Legal Service would help preserve the
separation of powers between the exec-
utive and legislative branches.
Title II of the Watergate Reorganiza-
tion and Reform Act creates new rules
of behavior .for executive branch officers
and personnel. Section 201 would require
the President and the Vice President to
file each year a public statement of:
First, all income and property taxes paid;
second, the amount and source of each
item of income exceeding $100; third,
each asset or liability in excess of $1,000;
fourth, any transaction in securities,
commodities, or real property' in excess
of $1,000; and, fifth, any expenditure
made by another individual for the bene-
fit of the President, Vice President, or
their spouses.
Section 202, in its primary provision,
prohibits any Government official whose
appointment required confirmation by
the Senate, or who is on the payroll of the
Executive Office of the President, from
participating in the solicitation or
receipt of campaign contributions dur-
ing his or her period of service and for
1 year thereafter. Such a statute would
disallow the transfer of administration
officials to a campaign situation where
they could solicit funds in a potentially
coercive manner from persons over
whom they had previously exercised
governmental and regulatory powers.
Coverage of the Hatch Act is extended
to the Department of Justice, Including
the Attorney General, in section 203.
Obviously, this provision is designed
to further the separation of law en-
forcement from partisan politics.
Section 204 prohibits employees of any
agency in the Executive Office of the
President from engaging in any in-
vestigative or intelligence-gathering
activities. Such secret investigative ac-
January 30, 19
tivities have posed a serious threat
the recent past to fundamental in
vidual rights.
Title 18 United States Code, sect:
595 presently makes it illegal to use t
awarding of Federal grants and loans
affect Federal elections. Section 205
pands this coverage to include the
of any other Federal payments or cc
tracts for such It purpose, and upgrac
the crime to a felony.
Sections 206 and 207 limit access

nue Service records. All requests fox

Executive Office of the President,
eluding the President, must be report
yearly by the Secretary of the Treast

the Secretary of the Treasury may,
his discretion, disclose only the name
a person and the general nature of
investigation if he determines that ft
ther disclosure would prejudice t
rights,-of a person to impartial adrnin
tration of the tax laws. These new ru:
should discourage the use of the IRS I
political purposes.
Title III of the Watergate Reorgar;iz
tion'and Reform Act deals with conga
sional activities. Section 301 gives t
District Court for the District of Colur
bra jurisdiction to enforce congressior
subpenas, and authorizes Congress
