Weinmann POSITION: Commissioner General of the U.S. Government to the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition (PAS) INTERVIEWER: John G. Roberts Comments Mr. Weinmann is the prospective nominee for Commissioner General of the United States Government for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. The President is authorized to appoint such a Commissioner General by P.L. 97-254, § 2 (b) (1). That section further provides that the position shall be in the Department of Commerce and that the responsibilities of the FOIA(b) (6) position are those prescribed by the Secretary of Commerce. B6 -2- B6 B6 None of the holdings present an apparent impediment to the conflict-free discharge of the responsibilities of the Commissioner General. Those responsibilities, however, are not precisely defined by statute, and accordingly I advised Mr. Weinmann that he should be alert to possible conflicts and recuse himself should any matter come before him involving any entity in which he had a financial interest. I also advised him to consult the Commerce Department Ethics Officer should he have any questions in this regard during the course of his tenure. Both Ms. Wagner and Mr. Smith agreed that this was the desirable course of action. Mr. Weinmann reported that he was on good terms with both of his state's senators.

ROBERTS SUBJECT: Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission I have reviewed the Personal Data Statements submitted by Jean M. Barren and Joseph D. Cloud for appointment as representatives of the United States on the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission. The President is authorized to appoint representatives to this Commission by Article IV of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Compact, 54 Stat. 753 (1940). The Commission, composed of three Federal representatives and three representatives from each member state, is charged with reviewing and reporting on water pollution in the Ohio River Valley, and is empowered to issue orders against municipalities, corporations, and individuals with respect to the discharge of sewage or waste into the Ohio or its tributaries. The Personal Data Statements for both Mrs. Barren and Mr. Cloud are straightforward, and reveal no conflicts that would preclude their appointment to the Commission.

FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS SUBJECT: Federal Representatives on Southern Interstate Nuclear Board and Western Interstate Nuclear Board I have reviewed the PDS of William Doub, prospective appointee (PA) to serve as Federal representative on the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board, and Sherrie Cooksey has reviewed the PDS of Lawrence O'Donnell, for the same position on the Western Interstate Nuclear Board. These two boards were formed by interstate compact -- they are not Federal agencies - and have non-regulatory functions, including gathering and disseminating information on atomic power in the respec- tive regions, encouraging development and use of nuclear energy, organizing and conducting demonstration projects and training programs, and recommending changes in state laws and regulations. See P.L. 87-563; P.L. 91-461 (attached). The federal representatives have no vote. In light of the general non-regulatory functions of the boards, I did not see any objection to going forward with Mr. Doub, and Sherrie did not see any objection to going forward with Mr. O'Donnell. Both Doub and O'Donnell, however, have interests in the energy area, as would be expected of appointees to boards such as these. We thought it advisable, in an abundance of caution, simply to reiter- ate to these prospective appointees the need to recuse themselves should (as seems unlikely) a particular matter with potential to affect their interests come before the board on which they will serve. In particular, we thought it appropriate to alert them in writing to the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 208. Attached for your approval are the letters we propose to send. Attachments CC: Sherrie M. Cooksey THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 28, 1983 Dear Mr. Doub: We have reviewed the Personal Data Statement submitted in connection with your prospective appointment as Federal Representative to the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board. In light of the general non-regulatory functions of the Board, and your description of your client relationships and financial holdings, it is not likely that those relation- ships or holdings will present a conflict of interest with respect to your responsibilities on the Board. At the same time, however, you should be alert to possible conflicts of interest and recuse yourself from consideration of any particular matter before the Board in which you may be considered to have a financial interest, as required by 18 U.S.C. § 208. A copy of that provision is attached for your information. If you have any questions in this regard, you should contact the appropriate agency ethics official or this office for guidance.

R. 10618] An Act granting the consent of Congress to the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact, and for related purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That: It is hereby declared to be the national policy to encourage and recognize the performance of functions by the States with respect to the peaceful use of nuclear energy in its several forms. The Federal Government recognizes that many programs in nuclear fields can benefit from cooperation among the States, as well as between 304 July 31 INTERSTATE NUCLEAR COMPACT P.L. 87-563 the Federal Government and the States. The importance of the interstate compact as one means for promoting such cooperation is hereby declared as part of the intention of Congress, already ex- pressed in part in Public Law 86-373, to facilitate the use of State jurisdiction in and over portions of the development and regulatory nuclear field. Sec. 2. The Congress hereby consents to the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact, which compact is as follows: "ARTICLE I. POLICY AND PURPOSE "The party states recognize that the proper employment of nuclear energy, facilities, materials, and products can assist substantially in the industrialization of the South and the development of a balanced economy for the region. They also recognize that optimum benefit from and acquisition of nuclear resources and facilities requires sys- tematic encouragement, guidance, and assistance from the party states on a cooperative basis. It is the policy of the party states to undertake such cooperation on a continuing basis; it is the purpose of this compact to provide the instruments and framework for such a cooperative effort to improve the economy of the South and con- tribute to the individual and community well-being of the region's people. "ARTICLE II. THE BOARD "(a) There is hereby created an agency of the party states to be known as the 'Southern Interstate Nuclear Board' (hereinafter called the Board).

Any member of the Board may provide for the discharge of his duties and the performance of his functions thereon (either for the duration of his membership or for any lesser period of time) by a deputy or assistant, if the laws of his state make specific provisions therefor. The federal government may be repre- sented without vote if provision is made by federal law for such representation. "(b) The Board members of the party states shall each be entitled to one vote on the Board.

"(k) The Board annually shall make to the governor of each party state, a report covering the activities of the Board for the preceding year, and embodying such recommendations as may have been adopted by the Board, which report shall be transmitted to the legislature of said state. The Board may issue such additional reports as it may deem desirable. "ARTICLE III. FINANCES "(a) The Board shall submit to the executive head or designated officer or officers of each party state a budget of its estimated expendi- tures for such period as may be required by the laws of that jurisdic- tion for presentation to the legislature thereof. "(b) Each of the Board's budgets of estimated expenditures shall contain specific recommendations of the amount or amounts to be appropriated by each of the party states. One half of the total amount of each budget of estimated expenditures shall be apportioned among the party states in equal shares; one quarter of each such budget shall be apportioned among the party states in accordance with the ratio of their populations to the total population of the en- 306 July 31 INTERSTATE NUCLEAR COMPACT P.L. 87-563 tire group of party states based on the last decennial federal census; and one quarter of each such budget shall be apportioned among the party states on the basis of the relative average per capita income of the inhabitants in each of the party states based on the latest com- putations published by the federal census-taking agency.

"(f) The accounts of the Board shall be open at any reasonable time for inspection. "ARTICLE IV.
