BARRY GOLDWATER -JANE HAVILCEK (202) 225-4461 Jess CAPITOL HILL PROGRAM UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA 93107 CAPITOL HILL PROGRAM - GENERAL INFORMATION PLEASE READ BEFORE FILLING OUT APPLICATION The UCSB Capitol Hill Program is a student-run internship program open to UCSB under- graduates who have exhibited exceptional ability in politically oriented activities and have expressed a desire to further these interests by serving in the office of a congressperson, senator, federal agency, interest group or private organization. The program is designed to serve as a liason between participating office holders in Washington, D.C./Sacramento and interested students at UCSB. We relieve the potential employers of the burdensome selection process by endorsing qualified applicants who have been screened by the CHP's committee. And we assist students by offering advice on the availability and desirability of certain internship positions and by having ex- interns conduct evening seminars to prepare the applicant for his Washington/Sacramento experience. The internship spaces available to CHP applicants are among the most substantive in Washington/Sacramento. Every effort has been made to eliminate from our portfolio those offices that have a reputation for using interns to perform only menial tasks. Offices with which we continue to be in touch indicate that the responsibilities delegated to interns include, of course, running errands, etc., but consist primarily of answering mail, monitoring the House and Senate floors, researching, composing legislation, writing speeches and floor statements, etc. Internships usually last for one quarter during the school year and eight weeks in the summer. Most offices request that students arrive before or during the first week of classes for that particular quarter. Academic credit is available to interns. Usually this consists of 12 units from a particular department for a quarter-long internship during which time the student is expected to write a detailed research paper. Credit arrangements must be cleared with that department. been done? INSTRUCTIONS: Please fill out the attached application form, request a copy of your transcripts from the registrar's office, and have two faculty members (or T.A.'s) submit brief letters of recommendation to the CHP. These will be used in conjunction with personal interviews to select qualified students for spaces in Washington/Sacramento. If you are selected by the CHP, a portion of the application material will be forwarded (with our recommendation) to prospective employers who will then determine if they have the need and space for someone with your background. Please submit the following: 3 copies of the application form, questions 3-10 and your ?, writing sample (details inside); 1 copy of questions 1 & 2, and your transcripts; and 2 recommendations from faculty. Submit your application, by the deadline specified, to the Capitol Hill Office, or leave it in the Capitol Hill mailbox (#29) located in the Student Resource Room #3137. Both rooms are located on the third floor of the UCEN. When you bring it in, please sign up to an interview. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the door of the CHP office.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA DEPARTMENT OF BERKELEY DAVIS IRVINE LOS ANGELES RIVERSIDE SAN DIEGO SAN FRANCISCO THE IFORNIA SANTA BARBARA SANTA CRUZ VIA: 1868 DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA 93106 October 29, 1981 Capitol Hill Program University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93107 To whom it may concern: Mark Urdahl has been a student of mine during this Fall quarter. He has shown not only great interest and enthusiasm, but also an exceptional capability of reasoning and analysis. His participation in class has been remarkable; his points are always coherent and worthwile. I really believe that he is an excellent candidate for an internship in Washington, D. C., and I am sure he will do a superior job if given the opportunity. Sincerely Fernando X Lopez Political Science Dept. Capitol Hill Program Mark Richard Urdahl 1. Do you feel you can work effectively for a legislator or organization whose political views are different than yours? I can work effectively and responsibly for a legislator or organization whose views are different than mine; I enjoy dialectic and opposing opinion as a way to learn and expose myself to new and different ideas. This is my primary reason for applying to the Capitol Hill Program- to learn. I am, however, interested in working with a legislator whose interests are economic efficiency, a balanced budget, and smaller Federal and State goverment. 2. Please tell us candidly and explicitly why you would like to be an intern in Washington D.C. I visited Washington, D.C. for a week over the past summer; I was extremely impressed, and for the first time in my life I felt patriotic. Since then, I have had a burning desire to go back and get involved in the entire political process, from the legislative decision-making to casual political conversations over drinks in the afternoon. T want to expose myself to our nation's political system and learn as much and do as much as possible. 3. What, in your opinion, are the two key contemporary socio-political issues of today and, briefly, how do you feel about them? Our Nation's economic policy is the most critical issue we face today. The economy will effect more people, more immediately, than any other single issue: the effects of Reagan's tax and budget programs have already produced significant consequences not only in the public and private sectors of the U.S. economy, but world-wide as well. I support Reagan's economic program. I would, however, like to see him utilize more expertise from private sector analysts who are immed- iately involved in the dynamic result of his decisions. Education of our people is the second most important issue because it will have the greatest long-term effect on our country's future. It is, perhaps, the most difficult to solve: the effects are not realized in the short-term, thereby reducing legislative incentive to tackle the problem; there is no widespread agreement on what the problems actually are, and the direction we should take to correct them. We see only the strife. More effective education of our people will only enhance the quality of life, and help to reduce social problems for future generations. I believe the first step we must take is to promote educational competition in public schools. Educational vouchers have been proposed, giving parents the choice between schools, thereby eliminating community and district "monopolies" by area schools. There are difficulties, but in the long-run, competion in public schools would reduce costs and improve the quality of education. Perhaps public schools would become competetive with private in terms of educational quality. 4. What are your strongest interest areas in terms of your educational backround, previous work experience, and future plans? Educationally, my forte is economics. I have also studied a great deal of political science in specific interest areas such as Middle Eastern politics and intellectual developement of political thought. In this day and age, economics is politics, and politics, economics. Previous work experience has always involved working with people through sales, and in the last year through management and organization. My future plans are not concrete, but will invariably involve business and economic enterprise. I am interested in learning how government influences people's lives sociologically, politically, and economically. I am interested in learning why decision-makers make their decisions. And I am interested in learning how accurately their decisions reflect what is good for the individual in society, because I believe that individual freedom will help society gain. 5. Though specific requests are usually difficult to honor, in which special interest area would you like to work most? I would like to work on the Hill with either a Congressman or a Senator on issues concerning the Federal budget, national economics, foriegn policy (particularly Soviet and Middle Eastern policy), and the U.S. role in international economics. In particular, I want to get involved with legislators involved in supply-side economics such as the Kemp-Roth team. 6. How do you feel about a job that is primarily political? Campaign work and partisan politics in our political system both intrigue me and lead me to question our election system. It is unfortunate that Congressman must spend so much time and energy to insure their re-election. I would, however, find this a valuable learning experience. To be frank, I am interested in learning more what good. government is than I am in learning what successful government is. In campaign work, I would want to campaign for a person or cause that I believe in. I have studied communications and advanced public speaking analysis utilizing Aristotle's Rhetoric; I feel I would be an asset to any organization involved with and speaking to the public. 7. How do you feel about a job that is primarily comprehensive research work? I would find this extremely rewarding, particularly if I had a good deal of responsibility, and the research work involved something in which I have a working background knowledge. I would also prefer that this research had some meaningful and realizable effect on my employer. Research in economic or foriegn policy would be excellent. I also have background knowledge in business law and our legal system. 8. How do you feel about a job that involves typing, writing, running errands and phone work: Generally, a jack of all trades? I write very well, can type (35 w.p.m.), speak well, and get things done. I have worked in management and feel I would handle a job like this very capably. I like to have a lot of responsibility and make decisions; I also like to excel in whatever I do. I would enjoy any position which would challenge me.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mike: It was great seeing you again. Linda and I certainly appreciate your taking so much time out of a very busy schedule to visit with us. Needless to say, our visit to the Oval Office was the highlight of our trip, for which we cannot thank you enough. Both Linda and I found Washington, D.C. a beautiful city. You were right, now that we are back in California, we miss the lush environs of the District. I am still very interested in being a part of the Reagan Administration, despite the fact that the position Helene had in mind did not work out. The position did not appear to permit me to utilize my skills and abilities sufficiently to hold my interest for the one-year period of commitment the Personnel Office required. You may be assured, though, that this decision did not come easily. I am still most interested in working on the White House staff, and would appreciate your continuing consider- ation. In this regard, I enjoyed very much my conversation with Fred Fielding and would certainly appreciate being considered should a position in his office become available. Once again, please accept my sincerest thanks and deep appreciation. At the same time, Linda and I extend our very best wishes to you and Carolyn and your family. By all means, keep up the good work. Sincerely, Rash Ralph W. Tarr THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 26, 1981 Dear Vern: Thanks for your letter and the offer of assistance.

Land Remote Sensing Satellite Advisory Committee I have been informed that the Department of Commerce under the NOAA/NESS group is forming this board. I understand that the composition of this board will be members from federal agencies, local government, data users, industry, academe, and the aero- space industries. I understand the main object of this board is to get government out of some of the remote sensing business and turn it over to industry. Frankly, this is where it belongs. It could save millions if this concept is adopted. 2. Scientific Advisory Board This is a high-technology board of the Air Force. I have contacted Vern Orr and told him of my interest, and he is trying to find out if a spot is available. Dr. Hans Mark suggested that I could really help our government on this board over a year ago, but there appar- ently has been no position open since that time. 3. Victims of Violent Crimes Task Force As the public member of the State Board of Control for the eight years of the Reagan administration, I was deeply involved in setting up compensation for the victims of violent crimes. Possibly I could help on the federal level for this most important project. 4. Overlapping Technologies The Defense Mapping Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey, and other agencies perform a considerable amount of duplication of effort. If a task force is ever necessary in this area, I again may be able to lend a hand. I have worked in top secret areas with the Defense Intelligence Agency in their satellite projects.

He organized this firm in 1946. It provides services in aerial photography, topographic mapping, computer cartography, remote sensing and photointerpretation on a worldwide basis. He has experimented with every- thing from World War II P-38's to jets as aerial platforms. In early 1974, he acquired and merged Datamap Systems, Inc., a computergraphics corporation, with the aerial survey company in order to enhance its capabilities in computer cartography and analytical aerotriangulation, and to complement the entire interactive graphics department. CARTWRIGHT RESEARCH CORPORATION. After obtaining a patent on an automatic film numbering concept, he organized this subsidiary to develop, manufacture and market this equipment. The corporation is also performing research on a number of airborne data acquisition systems. INTERNATIONAL REMOTE SENSING INSTITUTE. Cartwright established this non-profit organization in 1966. It has published the Journal of Remote Sensing on a worldwide basis and deals with the practical approach to data acquisition and photointerpretation and its relationship to photogrammetry and data banks. SERVICE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. Vern served as national president of the American Society of Photogrammetry in 1977 and 1978, an organization of over 8,000 scientists and engineers. He also served as president of the National Legislative Council of Photogrammetry in 1971 and 1972. He has served two terms on the Board of Directors of the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping, Northern California Chapter. In 1967, Governor Reagan appointed him to the California State Board of Control on which he served for 8 years as the Public Member. Also in 1967, he was appointed by Governor Reagan to the Engineers' Advisory Council to review and make recommendations on all legislative matters pertaining to engineering. In 1968, he served on a task force for aerospace education in the State of California. He was delegate-at-large at the 29th National Republican Convention.

Dear Mike: I was reading the Scout's Newsletter last night, and ran across a name from the distant past that made me think of you Karl van Christierson. I thought he had gone to the big distillery in the sky a long time ago so perhaps this is his son. Our Mike is in Webelos this year, and I am helping out, if you can believe that! It really looks like it will be a lot of fun for both the kids and the fathers. We are all going to the Coast Guard Station in Monterey in a couple of weeks to learn about water safety and check out the big cutter they have over there. We had dinner at Penn Keller's cabin in Ben Lomond a couple of weeks ago, and Frank was down with his new girl friend, so I suppose he and Toni have finally split the sheets. I'm going to Sacramento next Monday, and I suppose we will have dinner and possibly play a little gin rummy. I guess you don't have much time for the finer things in life anymore! Got to run, but thought you might get a kick out of thinking back to the days of Carlo. Say hi to the family.

I will, however, let Pete Uberoth know of your interest and perhaps he will be in touch. As to your second question, I am sorry it would be in- appropriate to do anything other than get the Navy Depart- ment to review your requests. I have asked John Herrington to do that. If they find an interest in it independent of our interest, that's fine, and I am sure you understand that all we can do is open the bureaucratic doors. Thanks again. Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

C. 20500 Dear Mike, Thanks for your letter of September 21st. I regret that nothing happened to my November letter, however, I do appreciate your interest then and now. Lynn Wood was kind enough to call me in August after seeing my resume and your letter. She asked if I still had an interest in being involved now. My answer would normally be yes, but I have made commitments with an energy company in which I am now involved, which will keep me tied up for awhile. Two thoughts though first, Lynn asked if I was interested in a Commission. I asked her about the 1984 Olympic Commission. She said I should ask you directly. Therefore, I would very much like to be involved and would like to be considered for such appointment. Second, our company is trying to get the Navy Department to enter into an agreement wherein we would place gas turbine equipment at the Miramar Naval Air Station Sanitary Landfill, and convert the methane gas into electrical energy. We are offering the Navy a royalty unique in the gas business which would be high enough, among other things, to pay for the whole utility bill at Miramar. We tried the bureaucratic route and got nowhere. What we do is very consistent with the President's policy that the Govern- ment should not fund synfuel and alternative fuel projects. Private Enterprise should and can! We are under contract with Pacific Lighting to develop projects for power generation and, therefore, the large capital expenditures of $9 - 27 mil- lion can be adequately financed. I sent a package to Lynn for John Herrington's review. Any help from you and/or The White House would be helpful and gratifying. We are in the nice position of taking a wasted asset (garbage) and through tech- nology - creating power. This power replaces foreign oil! What can be more timely? Anyway, Mike, I appreciate your interest past and present, appreciate what you and the President are trying to do generally for the country, and appre- ciate your consideration of my two requests. Best regards. Cordially, Bob Robert F. Hatch RFH:gbc CC: Lynn R.

ROGERS SPECIAL ASSISTANT PO THE PRESIDENT FOR ADMINISTRATION SUBJECT: REVISED FY 1982 PERSONNEL ALLOCATIONS As you know, The President has directed that the White House reduce its staff and budget as a symbol of his commitment to reducing the federal budget and government employment. His public commitment on the budgetary issue requires at least a 12% budget cut for FY 1982. Because the White House budget is highly labor-intensive, the cut in White House staff will have to be at least an 8% cut. And because earlier cuts came disproportion- ately from the White House operating units, cuts this time will have to come disproportionately (i.e., greater than 8%) from the political and policy offices. In order to implement The President's direction, revised staff allocations have been developed for each department and staff office. Attachment A provides you with the revised staffing allocation for your department. Attachment B provides the names of your staff members currently occupying permanent White House slots. The reductions which are noted for your office must be taken as soon as possible in order for the necessary budgetary savings to be achieved, as any further delays will ultimately require larger actual cuts in staffing to achieve the same amount of budgetary savings. Will you please provide my office, by October 23, 1981, a specific plan for achieving the specified staff reductions.

Jim is a local attorney and a good friend of mine. We've played tennis. His law firm is the best one in our little town and handles all my difficult legal problems for my real estate business. Jim has been very active in the Republican Party, both as Flathead County Chairman and as a member of the Montana State Republican Central Committee. All I know about Pete Dunbar is that he didn't take down his campaign posters which he put up on our ranch without permission in the first place. Let me encourage you to push for Jim for the position. Miss your act at Rancheros. 4Q Dave MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 8, 1981 TO: MR.

REAGAN LIBRARY THIS FORM MARKS THE FILE LOCATION OF ITEM NUMBER 1-3 LISTED ON THE WITHDRAWAL SHEET AT THE FRONT OF THIS FOLDER. JAMES W. MAYO Immediately prior to DOE, served for almost 7 years on an Excepted appointment at the National Science Foundation. Positions held were in the field of science education. Hired by DOE on April 9, 1978, without a break in service as a Scientific Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Energy Technology. The appointment was Excepted to serve at the pleasure of the Secretary. The position of Scientific Advisor was no longer required as a result of a reorganization that abolished the Assistant Secretary for Energy Technology. On August 20, 1979, Mr. Mayo was detailed as acting Chief, Electrochemical Systems Branch, under the Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Solar Energy; a position that was not supportable at the SES level. During a review after the inauguration of all DOE employees serving at the pleasure of the Secretary, went back 3 times to verify that the Secretary really wanted us to let him go. He was separated after 30-days notice on March 9, 1981, with severance pay of $20,237.70. He appealed to the Merit System Protection Board alleging: he was reduced in grade; improper separation; harmful procedural error; discrimination on the basis of race (Black) reprisal for his actions as an EEO officer; and improper political reasons. The Merit System Protection Board presiding official found it lacked jurisdiction over the alleged reduction in grade and upheld the Department on all other counts, i.e., that separation did not violate his rights under adverse action or reduction in force law and regulation, and there was no harmful procedural error, discrimination, reprisal, or improper political motivation in the agency's separation action. The presiding officials' findings become the Merit System Protection Board's decision on August 24, 1981, unless Mr. Mayo's attorney files a petition for review or the full Board reopens the case on its own motion.

FULLER j RE: Dr. Mayo You will note from the attached package that Dr. Mayo was apparently appointed by Nixon and held over by Carter in the Department of Energy. We let him go as part of our overall policy toward Carter appointees; however, interest has been expressed by Mike Deaver in finding him another place at the Department of Energy. Could you pursue this matter at DOE and keep me advised. Attachment THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 8, 1981 NOTE TO CRAIG FULLER FROM: MEL BRADLEY m It's my understanding that Dr. Mayo was appointed by President Nixon and was held over by Carter. While technically he may be a Carter holdover, he was not recruited and appointed by Carter. Dr. Mayo continues to hold interest in returning to the Department of Energy. MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 19, 1981 TO: CRAIG FULLER FROM: MICHAEL K. DEAVER m SUBJECT: Dr. Mayo I asked Jay to look into this. I would very much like to see if we can't rescue Dr. Mayo, since he is supposed to be a good scientist and is a political and has been thrown out. Unless somebody has evidence he campaigned against us, why don't we strike a blow for freedom and reinstate him. JUN 1 8 June 9, 1981 The Honorable Michael K. Deaver Moorby Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Deaver: My name is James W. Mayo. I was terminated at the Department of Energy, March 9, 1981. Prior to the termination, Melvin Bradley told me that you were familiar with my case. I am interested in continuing service under the Reagan administration and I am writing to you to ask for your active involvement in making that possible. My termination was connected with, among other things, an Energy Department interpretation of a general directive from the White House. Also, my name erroneously appears on a computer-generated list of black "appointees" who served under the previous administration. In point of fact, however, I entered Federal service at the National Science Foundation in June 1971 to initiate a program manadated by President Nixon. I reached supergrade there in 1973 and remained there until 1978 when I was invited to come to the Department of Energy. Because I am aware of the commitment of the President to maintain and increase the number of qualified and competent blacks in this administration, I am encouraged in seeking your assistance. Toward that end I will telephone your office in the next few days for an appointment to discuss this matter. I am looking forward to meeting you. Sincerely yours, James w. mayo James W.

Mayo Only black scientist at the Department of Energy Several months ago, we received a call from a Dr. Esteppe, Howard University Development Office. (He works with Alice Green Burnett) Dr. ESteppe was requesting, on behalf of a number of persons at Howard University, including the President, that something be done by the Administration and Presidential Personnel about the apparent discriminatory treatment toward Dr. James W. Mayo. According to Dr. Esteppe, Dr. Mayo is the highest qualified black scientist at the Department of Energy; he has not been used in his field; and he is being terminated. We were asked to look into the matter and consider Dr. Mayo for an appointment. The matter was 4 turned over to Jay Morehead. Dr. James W.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOMELAND MASHIPGTON. UTILITAS WASHINGTON, D. C. 20059 March 3, 1981 1867 DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Mr. Melvin Bradley Senior Advisor to the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Bradley, Dr. Aris T. Allen suggested that I write to you about the most senior Black science administrator in the Department of Energy, Dr. James Mayo, who appears to be on the verge of losing his position. Dr. Mayo has been in the Federal Service for ten years. He started at the National Science Foundation, and since January of 1978, he has been at the Department of Energy. His position of record at the Department of Energy is Science Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Energy Technology, a position that was abolished a year and a half ago. Since that time he has been the acting Director of Electrochemical Systems, where he has consistently obtained fully satisfactory ratings. His supervisors, up to the Assistant Secretary level, during this time have filed papers to make his present position permanent. These papers have been held up by the Personnel Department. They are claiming that the White House is responsible for their inability to complete the required paper work on Dr. Mayo, but the enclosed legal description of the case suggest otherwise. I am enclosing Dr. Mayo's resume which demonstrates that he is well qualified for the position that he has been acting in. I hope that you can do something about this case because it would be a shame to lose one of the best Black science executives in the Government. Thanking you for your consideration in this matter, I remain, Sincerely yours, William M.Jackson William M.

It is my impression that termination of his position is being considered and based on the information that I have, indicating his overall record, I would strongly urge the continuance of Dr. Mayo in his present position. I believe that he can render invaluable service in his present position. I am communicating with Mr. Melvin Bradley at the White House expressing my sentiments to him as well. Sincerely, ARIS T. ALLEN, M.D. Senator-District 30 CC: Mr. Melvin Bradley Dr. James Mayo Dr. Joseph Morris Dr. William Jackson ATA:cwk LAW OFFICES IRVING KATOR CHARTERED 1220 NINETEENTH STREET, N. W. SUITE 202 WASHINGTON. D.C. 20036 1202) 223-1497 February 20, 1981 Mr. William S. Heffelfinger Vice Chairman Executive Personnel Board Department of Energy Washington, D. C. 20585 Dear Mr. Heffelfinger: Our firm has been retained by Dr. James W. Mayo to represent him concerning your proposal to terminate his ser- vices with the Department of Energy. The following narrative describes our understanding of the facts in this case. Dr. Mayo, who is a preference eligible, was appointed to the Department under section 621 of the Department of Energy Organization Act (P.L. 95-91) which authorizes the Secretary to appoint not more than 511 scientific, engineering, professional and administrative personnel without regard to the civil service laws and to fix the compensation of such personnel at levels not in excess of the maximum rate payable for GS-18 of the General Schedule. Dr. Mayo's position of record is Scientific Advisor in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Solar Energy. This is a nonconfidential, nonpolicy, career type position which is or was in the Energy Executive Service. The Energy Executive Service has no statutory basis, but was established by the Department of Energy as a high level pro- fessional and managerial corps similar in concept to the Foreign Service and the military. On April 5, 1979, Dr. Mayo was advised that his posi- tion as Scientific Advisor did not meet the criteria for place- ment in the Senior Executive Service and that he had a right to Mr. William S. Heffelfinger Page Two February 20, 1981 appeal this decision. Dr. Mayo did not file an appeal because he was led to believe that he would be reassioned to a position which would permit his conversion to the Senior Executive Ser- vice. Dr. Mayo was recommended as Program Manager for Electri- cal Systems, but was not reassigned to this position and was not appointed to the Senior Executive Service. The incumbent of this position, however, was converted to Senior Executive Service status and later reassigned to another position. Dr. Mayo has been serving as Acting Director of the Electrochemical Energy Storage Division since July 1979. This is the same position, with a redesignated title, as the Program Manager for Electrical Systems. Dr. Mayo's superiors have attempted unsuccessfully to have him appointed to this position as a career member of the Senior Executive Service. Notwith- standing the fact that the position was designated as a Senior Executive Service position, thus providing the vehicle for the incumbent to become a member of the Senior Executive Service, Dr. Mayo has been informed that the position only warrants a GS-15 classification. Dr. Mayo offered to accept a GS-15 as an interim measure until the status of the position which he has been occupying is clarified. By letter dated January 23, 1981, J. M. Schulman, Dir- ector of Personnel, requested, on behalf of the Secretary, that Dr. Mayo submit his resignation because of the change in admin- istration. Dr. Mayo submitted his resignation, but Acting Assistant Secretary, Frank DeGeorge, and others requested, in a memorandum dated January 30, 1981, that the resignation not be accepted. Nonetheless, the Secretary was prepared to accept Dr. Mayo's resignation, had he not withdrawn it. On February 5, 1981, you informed Dr. Mayo that his position of Scientific Advisor was no longer required and that his appointment would terminate on February 6, 1981. By letter dated February 6, 1981, you advised Dr. Mayo that Interim Man- agement Directive 3390 pertaining to the Energy Executive Ser- vice expired on March 31, 1979 and that notification of its expiration had been given in DOE Notice 1321.14 dated October 10, 1978. You also advised Dr. Mayo that he was being given 30 days notice of separation and that his new separation date was March 9, 1981. The Department of Energy is obviously acting under the mísapprehension that it has authority to summarily dismiss all employees hired under section 621 of P.L. 95-91. This is simply Mr. William S. Heffelfinger Page Three February 20, 1981 not the case. Section 621 empowers the Secretary to appoint certain personnel without regard to civil service laws and to fix their compensation. The words "without regard to civil service laws" apply only to the Secretary's appointment power and mean that persons appointed pursuant to this authority are in the excepted service. The excepted service is defined at 5 U.S.C. 2103 as consisting of those civil service positionswhich are not in the competitive service or the Senior Executive Service. Posi- tions may be excluded from the requirements of the Civil Service Act or the competitive service by the Office of Personnel Man- agement or by statute. 5 C.F.R. 1.4. Excepted service employees in nonconfidential and nonpolicy making positions have a broad array of rights including those made available to preference eligibles by the Veterans Preference Act of 1944. Section 621 does not circumscribe these rights. There is nothing in the language of the section which even suggests that Congress intended to deny employees appointed under it the rights ordin- arily associated with excepted service employees and most assur- edly, the section cannot be read as abrogating, with respect to these employees, the long-standing and well-defined protections against arbitrary removal conferred on veterans by the Veterans Preference Act of 1944. The Act is partially codified at 5 U.S.C. 7511 which defines those employees who are covered under Subchapter II of Chapter 75, pertaining, inter-alia to removals. Preference eligibles in the excepted service who have completed one year of continuous service in the same or similar positions, such as Dr. Mayo, are covered by virtue of subsection (a) (1) (B) of 5 U.S.C. 7511. A preference eligible is not covered, however, if he or she falls within one of the classes of employees specific- ally excluded from Chapter 75. These classes consist of employees whose appointments are made by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and employees whose positions have been determined to be of a confidential, policy determining, policy making or policy advocating character. 5 U.S.C. 7511 (b) (1) and (2). Since Dr. Mayo is not a member of either of these classes of employees and since he is not included in any of the exclusions listed at 5 C.F.R. 752.401 (c) it follows that Dr. Mayo can only be removed 1/ National Guard Technicians (exclusion 13) are explicitly ex- cluded from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7511 and 7512. See 32 U.S.C. 709 (f). Physicians and other employees in the Department f Medicine and Surgery, Veterans Administration (exclusion 14) are covered by a statutory disciplinary procedure which makes the decision of the Administrator final. See 38 U.S.C. 4110. Mr. William S. Heffelfinger Page Four February 20, 1981 for cause. Cause, of course means misconduct or unsatisfactory performance on the part of an employee, not the mere desire of an agency to dispense with his services. Moreover, an employee who is removed for cause is entitled to certain procedural rights including a due process hearing before the Merit Systems Protec- tion Board. (5 U.S.C. 7513) That an agency cannot circumvent these procedures was made abundantly clear in the now famous case of Ernest Fitzgerald. In that case, the Air Force, following Mr. Fitzgerald's testimony before Congress on the cost overruns on the Air Force's C-5A car- go plane, abolished Mr. Fitzgerald's position in a purported reduction-in-force. Mr. Fitzgerald appealed to the Civil Service Commission contending that his dismissal was in reality a retalia- tion for his having testified before Congress. The Commission found that the action taken against Mr. Fitzgerald was influenced by and resulted from reasons personal to him and that, therefore, it was improper and in violation of the Commission's regulations. We recognize, of course, that persons employed under sec- tion 621 may be released in a bona fide reduction-in-force. How- ever, their release may only be effected in accordance with statutory and regulatory law governing reductions-in-force. This law, which derivès from the Veterans Preference Act of 1944, applies to each employee in or under an Executive agency except an employee whose appointment is required by Congress to be confirmed by or made with the advice and consent of the Senate, members of the Senior Executive Service and National Guard Technicians. 5 U.S.C. 3501; 5 C.F.R. 351.201 and 202. Thus, if Dr. Mayo's position is being abolished as part of a reduction-in-force, he is entitled to certain rights including the notice prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 351.802 and the appeal right set forth in 5 C.F.R. 351.901. Very frankly, your letter of February 5, 1981 coming as it does on the heels of the Department's request for Dr. Mayo's resignation "in order to provide the administration the flexibility it needs to carry out its policies" and in the face of the recom- mendation of his immediate supervisors that he be retained, raises a strong presumption that Dr. Mayo is being removed for political reasons. As I'm sure you know, personnel actions based upon pol- itical affiliation violate the merit system principles laid down in 5 U.S.C. 2302 and may constitute a prohibited personnel prac- tice under 5 U.S.C. 2302 (b) (1) (E). The Supreme Court, as well as Congress, has severely pro- scribed the freedom of government officials to dismiss employees based upon political affiliation. In Elrod V. Burns, 427 U.S. 347 Mr. William S. Heffelfinger Page Five February 20, 1981 (1976) and Branti V. Finkel, 445 U.S. 507 (1980) the Court was confronted with county employees who admittedly had been employed under the patronage system and who were subsequently threatened with dismissal because of a change in administration. In both cases, the Court held that the dismissals violated the Fourteenth and First Amendments. The Court made it clear that what it termed "patronage dismissals" would not be countenanced except where it could be shown that the dismissals were justified by a paramount and overriding governmental interest. The court acknowledged that the discharge of persons holding policy making and confiden- tial positions might meet this test, but cautioned that merely labeling a position as policy making or confidential would not suffice. Rather, it is necessary to examine the facts to deter- mine if the position in question is indeed one in which the in- cumbent has far reaching responsibility for planning and implemen- ting the broad goals of the office. or agency, as opposed to responsibility of a limited nature. These cases must be seen as prohibiting the discharge of government employees, whether local or federal, holding nonpolicy making and nonconfidential positions, as defined by the Court, because of the desire of an incoming administration to fill those positions with its own political followers. Finally, although it will hopefully be unnecessary to ursue this issue further, I am concerned that race and particu- arly Dr. Mayo's association with the Department's equal employ- ment opportunity program may have been factors in your agency's steadfast opposition to appointing him to a position which he has occupied on an acting basis since 1979 and in terminating his services in spite of a request by his immediate superiors that he be retained on the basis of his performance record and the needs of the agency. I would appreciate your giving this matter your prompt attention and advising me as to what course of action your agency intends to take in this matter. I would also appreciate your providing me with a copy of DOE Notice 1321.14 referred to in your February 6, 1981 letter to Dr. Mayo. Sincerely yours, KATOR & SCOTT Joseph B.

Dear President Regan: Many people of this nation are quick to critize your decisions, but I support you in the elimination of many CETA projects. I happen to be an employee of a grant (CETA) funded through the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs. There are three of us working at a state hospital helping to find jobs for those leaving the institution. I feel this is a worthwhile project yet one of us could handle the whole operation. There is not enough work for three people to do to create three full time positions. The end of FY 80 I was told I had to spend X amount of dollars so they would not cut spending for FY 81. I was told to order a new desk, file cabinet, chair, and office supplies. I told my suporvisiors I did not need all this and found it a waste of money and suggested they send the excess money back to be used in another capacity. I had no choice and was compelled to do so. I now sit at an executive size desk with not enough to keep me busy more than 2-3 days a week. I as a taxpayer feel so many of these programs are a waste of money and even if it means I will loose my job I am glad you are doing something about the unecessary jobs, programs and spending of money.

HEWITT Chairman 3 September 1981 Mr. James A. Baker, III Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Jim: It is my understanding that my name was given serious considera- tion in the selection process for a new United States Ambassador to France. Naturally, I was deeply disappointed when I learned that another candidate has been selected. None-the-less, I continue to feel a strong desire to serve our country in an overseas post. At the present time it would be my preference to serve in Spain. I believe that my general qualifications apply just as well to Spain as they did to France. More specifically, I have visited Spain a great many times since 1952, both for business reasons and for vacations with my family. My wife, our three adult children and I all feel a deep admiration and respect for the people and the culture of Spain. Several years ago it was my privilege to meet King Juan Carlos while he was visiting New York. That meeting plus my general knowledge of his leadership abilities cause me to believe that I could work well with him and his government in representing our country and our current administration in our relationships with Spain. I would also like to mention that in 1970 the Spanish government awarded me "La Orden Civil del Merito Agricola, con la categoria de Comendador de Numero" (Agricultural Merit Order, with rank of Commander, First Class.) Page Two Mr. James A. Baker, III 3 September 1981 I realize that the appointment of a new United States Ambassador to Spain may not be made in the immediate future, but when that post needs to be filled I will greatly appreciate it if I am considered as a candidate.
