MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
JOHN D. EHRLICHMAN
SUBJECT:
Enrolled Bill H. R. 6503 - For the
relief of Captain Claire E. Brou
The attached legislation is a private relief bill authorizing payment
of $100, 000 to Captain Claire E. Brou, United States Air Force
(retired), in full settlement of her claims against the U. S. arising
from injuries sustained in April 1968 while undergoing a diagnostic
study at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Both Cap Weinberger and Defense feel that there is no justification
for granting Captain Brou the special award proposed in H. R. 6503
(Tab B). In their judgement, approval of the bill would create a
serious precedent.
However, Bill Timmons (Tab A) recommends signature noting that:
This is an extremely important issue with Rules Chairman Bill
Colmer who has been one of the most important Democrats work-
ing with the President on legislative matters, and we are depending
on his help to hold up bad legislation during the next several weeks.
Senator Eastland has asked that his support for the legislation be
brought to the President's attention.
You should review only the specific comments of Bill Timmons (Tab A)
and Cap Weinberger (Tab B).
RECOMMENDATION
That you sign the bill because of the critical role Congressman Colmer
and Senator Eastland play in our overall legislative strategy. Bill
Timmons will tell Colmer and Eastland.
