inconsistent with your desire to enhance
State and local discretion
Since
a vote to override a veto is a virtual
certainty, should you decide to approve
the bill, we would suggest a signing
statement pointing out that full imple-
mentation of its provisions would not
take effect for some time, and that you
will recommend amendments that will
maintain the appropriate division of
Federal and State-local government roles
in educating handicapped children and
that will be workable within realistic
appropriation levels.
Mathews :
"The bill, while falsely raising the
expectations of what all levels of
government can do is likely to
impair our ability to deliver meaningful
services to children by imposing
unnecessary new administrative and proce-
dural burdens on State and local educational
agencies
My hope would be that the
President S veto would induce some alter-
native legislation which would allow him
to support this good objective in a sound
fashion.
Secretary Mathews has indicated privately
that he would be very comfortable with
your signing the bill. His written veto
request was to assure that should you veto,
no one would attempt to undercut your
position by citing HEW's views.
Friedersdorf:
Recommends veto from a Congressional
Relations point of view because of the
importance of being consistent once we
give a strong veto signal. But from a
political standpoint, recognizes it might
be advantageous to sign. Says an override
is virtually certain.
Marrs:
Recommends approval.
Buchen (Chapman) :
"No objection to veto."
