VERN LOEN VL
FROM:
CHARLES LEPPERT, JR. CL
SUBJECT:
Status Report on H. Res. 710
Nixon Papers and Taxps, etc.
H. Res. 710, relating to the Nixon papers and taxps was favorably reported by
the Committee on House Administration on September 18, 1975, by a vote of
10-5-1. Voting against the resolution were Rep. 's Dickinson, Devine, Wiggins,
Holt, and Moore. Rep. Cleveland voted present.
The House Administration Committee filed its Committee report on H. Res. 710
on October 9, 1975. Rep. Cleveland filed Minority views which I am advised
raise some excellent constitutional issues concerning the resolution. Copies
of the Committee report are being sent to me as soon as they are available.
The Committee on House Administration has three other measures before the
Committee of interest. They are:
(1) H.R. 1686, Postcard Voter Registration which was referred to the
Full Committee on July 23, 1975, without amendments. No action
scheduled at this time.
(2) H.R. 3211 and S. 95, Overseas Citizens Voting Rights Act is in the
process of being marked-up by the Full Committee. It is anticipated
that this bill will go to the House for consideration in November 1975.
(3) H.R. 111, et al, Federal Election Campaign Act Amendments which
are pending in the Subcommittee on Elections and nothing is scheduled
at this time.
H.R. 214 et al concerning wiretapping and electronic surveillance is pending
before the Subcommittee on Courts, Civil Liberties and the Administration of
Justice in the House Judiciary Committee. Hearings on this legislation were
held in March, May, June, July and September 1975. No action on these bills
are scheduled for the Subcommittee during the month of October 1975.

WASHINGTON
October 8, 1975
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MAX FRIEDERSDORF
FROM:
It is my understanding that H. Res. relating to Nixon papers
JACK MAR Jane
and tapes, may be considered within several weeks before
the House Administration Committee. I would be grateful for a
discreet inquiry from one of your House people and a status report.
I suggest at the time they make the inquiry of the Committee that
they also inquire about another matter pending before the same
Committee, in order to not arouse any unusual interest in the
request. For example, postcard registration is pending before
the same Committee.
We would also be interested in the status of H. R. 214, electronic
surveillance before the Judiciary Committee.
