COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Invitation to Appear Before Mouvement des
Jeunes Pour la Liberte de .'Enseignment
You have inquired whether it would be appropriate for you to
accept the invitation of the Mouvement des Jeunes Pour la
Liberte de l'Enseignment (MJLE) to appear before a group of
student leaders in Paris, and whether it would be
appropriate to accept reimbursement for expenses from MJLE.
Since MJLE appears to be the French equivalent of the sort
of domestic organization within the purview of your official
liaison duties, the contemplated trip must be considered
official travel. You may not accept reimbursement of
expenses for official travel, since doing so would consti-
tute an unauthorized supplementation of appropriations.
It is often difficult to draw the line between official and
personal travel, but, as noted in my August 24, 1981 memoran-
dum to the White House Staff on acceptance of transportation
and travel-related expenses, "any doubt as to the appropriate-
ness of accepting travel expenses or reimbursement
must be resolved in favor of not accepting.' (Emphasis in
original). While there is an exception to the general rule
for reimbursement from 501 (c) (3) organizations, 5 U.S.C.
§ 4111, the exception does not apply to foreign organiza-
tions, no matter how similar they may be to domestic
501 (c) (3) organizations.
If the trip is undertaken as official travel, it must be
paid for out of appropriated funds. Although the trip must
be considered official for purposes of determining if
reimbursement is appropriate, I think you will agree that a
serious appearance problem would be raised by official
travel to Paris to appear before MJLE.
In light of the foregoing, I must advise against acceptance
of the invitation.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE DOUGLAS HURON
ouvels
Associate Counsel to the President
10:3
Re: Acceptance by
of Expenses of travel
to Germany
By your memorandum of May 17, 1977, you requested our
opinion regarding the propriety of
to the President, accepting transportation and
other expenses associated with his attendance at a conference
to be held in Berlin, Germany, to which be has been invited
by one of the sponsoring organizations, The American Council
on Germany (hereafter "American Council"). You specifically
requested our opinion as to whether
could accept
reimbursement for that travel were he in a leave status
during the trip and whether he could accept such reimburse-
ment "without taking leave." For reasons stated hereafter,
we conclude that he may, on the basis of the facts known to
us, accept reimbursement for his travel expenses, including
subsistence, if in a leave status. We also conclude that
the expenses of his trip, if that trip is regarded as
official business, may be reimbursed to him by the American
Council but not by its German counterpart, Atlantik-Bruecke.
I. Background
In & letter dated April 29, 1977 and addressed to
at his office as
to the
resident,
has been invited to attend a conference
in Barlin between August 14-18, 1977. The etated purpose of
this conference is "to bring together interesting young people
to examine and discuss E wide variety of urgent
political and economic issues facing all of us." That letter,
from the American Council, states that the Council will pay
transportation and that the co-sponsoring group,
Atlentik-3ruecke, "will provide the hotel accommodations and
support services in Germany." The letter further states that
||a]11 delegates attend 28 individuals and speak for them-
gelves."
We are informed by the Internal Revenue Service that the
American Council is currently a tax exempt organization under
3501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are also in-
formed by the American Council that Atlantik-Bruecke is a
privately funded organization in Germany with interests similar
to those of the Council and having no connection with the
government of the Federal Republic of Germany and having no
direct dealings with the Government.
II. Applicability of Conflict of Interest Laws
Because none of the reimbursement anticipated here would
come from a foreign government and hence not implicate Art. 1,
$9, cl. 8, we think that the only statutory provisions
directly relevant to the issues presented are 18 U.S.C. $209
and 5 U.S.C. $4111. Under the former, the salary of a federal
employee must be paid by the Government or by a state or local
governmental unit. Thus, if
attendance at the
conference were to be characterized as part of his official
duties, he would be prohibited from accepting reimbursement
for his expenses other than from the federal government or,
by virtue of 5 U.S.C, $4111, from an organization tax exempt
under $501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. If, on the
other hand,
attendance at the conference is seen
as unrelated to his official duties, he would be free to
accept reimbursement so long as he were in a leave status
because there are no statutory restrictions placed on the
acceptance of such gifts by federal employees.
The question whether
attendance should be
viewed as part of his official duties presents more a
question of judgment than of law. The standards of conduct
currently effective for White House personnel k specifically
3 C.F.R. $100.735-14 &15, do not resolve this question with
any clarity Under 3 C.F.R. $100.735-15(d) (1), an employee
may, by implication, accept the payment of expenses for his
acticipation in unofficial activities that are not incompat-
ible with his Government service and which are not otherwise
reimbursed by the Government. To the extent that these pro-
visions deal with unofficial activity, they permit
to accept Teimbursement for the expenses he would incur in
going to the conference in a leave status.
- 2 -
The White House code of conduct, however says nothing about
when an employee's activities might be thought of as so closely
related to his official duties that his acceptance of reimburse-
ment for his expenses might constitute a violation of 18 U.S.C.
$209.
While it may be reasonable for you and
to con-
clude that his attendance would not be related to his official
duties, in making that determination you aight want to consider
the guidelines applied by other agencies. For example, the
Department of Commerce regulations regarding this subject,
15 C.F.R. $0.735-12(b) (3), provide that an
"activity shall ordinarily be considered to be in
the course of ... an employee's official respon-
sibilities if it is performed as a result of an
Invitation or request which is addressed
to
an employee at his office at the Department
or which there is reason to believe is extended
partly because of the official position of the
employee concerned."
Under the Commerce Department standard,
could
be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by the American Council,
because of its tax exempt status, but by Atlantik-Bruecke be may
not.

SUBJECT:
Speaking Engagement in France
for Morton Blackwell
Morton Blackwell has inquired whether he may accept an
invitation to speak to a conference of French student
leaders in Paris, and accept reimbursement for travel and
lodging. Mouvement des Jeunes Pour la Liberte de L'Enseign-
ment (MJLE), a student group dedicated to non-public schools,
is holding a seminar for its leaders to study American
methods of organization and leadership. The group describes
itself as non-partisan, and Blackwell has been told it is
the French equivalent of a 501 (c) (3) organization. Blackwell
would not receive an honorarium.
If Blackwell's activities in connection with his appearance
in Paris are part of his official duties, acceptance of
reimbursement would constitute an unauthorized supplementa-
tion of appropriations. If Blackwell's activities are
unofficial, he could accept reimbursement, provided (as
seems likely) MJLE does no business with Blackwell's office
and has no other interests that may be affected by perfor-
mance or non-performance of Blackwell's official duties.
3 C.F.R. 100.735.
My impression is that MJLE is a French equivalent of the
sort of group Blackwell is responsible for liaison with here
in the United States, particularly with regard to issues
such as tuition tax credits. I talked with Blackwell
briefly as to whether the trip would be in connection with
his official duties or would be personal, and he was unable
to say. I think the visit is at least sufficiently related
to Blackwell's official duties to raise a doubt concerning
the appropriateness of acceptance of reimbursement, and, as
pointed out in your memorandum of August 24, 1981, to the
White House Staff, "any doubt as to the appropriateness of
accepting travel expenses or reimbursement
must be
resolved in favor of not accepting." (Emphasis in original.)
-2-
Of course, if MJLE were a domestic group, Blackwell could
accept reimbursement under 5 U.S.C. $ 4111, which permits
acceptance of travel and subsistence expenses from 501 (c) (3)
organizations. There is, however, no analogous statutory
provision for foreign charitable groups.
I recommend advising Blackwell (1) that he may not accept
reimbursement, because the invitation is too closely related
to his official duties, and (2) that he not accept the
invitation as official travel, paid for out of appropriated
funds, because of appearance problems. In essence, the trip
is too official to permit reimbursement, but not official
enough to permit government payment without appearance
problems. This is exactly the sort of "Catch 22" situation
5 U.S.C. § 4111 was designed to avoid, but, as noted, that
statute is of no help here.
I am not entirely comfortable with this conclusion, because
of the 5 U.S.C. § 4111 analogy, and because I think it would
create less of an appearance problem if MJLE paid for the
trip than if the government did. I do not, however, see any
other conclusion, unless it be the somewhat artificial one
that Blackwell only has domestic liaison duties, and foreign
visits are ipso facto personal.

Dear Mr. Blackwell:
On behalf of the Director of Mouvement des Jeunes Pour
la Liberte de l'Enseignment, M. Remy Lescure, I am authorized
to invite you to participate in a conference in Paris on the
development of youth activities in the public policy field.
The MJLE is a youth movement of 15,000 students whose
purpose is the preservation and support of non-public educa-
tion in France. The MJLE believes that an alternative educa-
tional system provides a healthy environment for the growth
of quality education, and an important set of options for the
young people of France in an atmosphere of academic freedom.
M. Lescure, a university student himself, has asked me
to develop contacts with U.S. experts so that the experience
of youth groups in America might foster international cooperation,
and assist French youth in reaching their goals with greater ef-
feciency. The MJLE is therefore organizing a seminar for a
select group of MJLE leaders to study American methods of organi-
zation and leadership development. The conference will be held
in Paris, and is tentatively scheduled for March 4th, 5th, and
6th.
The MJLE is a student organization which is non-partisan
and devoted to educational concerns. MJLE will, of course, pay
for your travel, lodging, and other necessary expenses, but
will be unable to pay an honorarium.
We hope to hear from your soon. We would like to welcome
you as a guest to Paris.
Sincerely,
the

SUBJECT:
Invitation from American Bar Association
to Robert F. Turner to Speak on War Powers
Resolution
Robert F. Turner, Counsel to the President's Intelligence
Oversight Board, has asked you and Bob Kimmitt if you have
any objections to him accepting an invitation to speak on
the War Powers Resolution at a breakfast "for movers and
shakers in the American Bar Association." The invitation
was sent by W.C. Mott for the ABA's Standing Committee on
Law and National Security. The breakfast is scheduled for
October 21. Turner would advise the audience that "I was
wearing my ABA hat rather than my White House hat."
I do not think that much can be gained by having an official
in Turner's position speaking on the War Powers Resolution
so soon after the delicate compromise reached on Lebanon.
Despite disclaimers Turner will be viewed as representing
Administration policy, and the audience could be influential
enough that Turner's statements will have some impact. I
think we should let the waters settle somewhat before
sailing forth with our views on war powers before any forum.
If you disagree, at the very least we should review a draft
of Turner's proposed remarks.
