FORD is LIBRARY DERALD THE WHITE HOUSE washington Date: 10-9-75 TO: Chas. FROM: Max L. Friedersdorf For Your Information Please Handle Please See Me Comments, Please Other ant. THE WHITE HOUSE 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.
