WASHINGTON Wordrow July 18, 1975 Wilson MEMORANDUM FOR: DOUG BENNETT THROUGH: PHIL BUCHEN T.W.B. FROM: DUDLEY CHAPMAN DC SUBJECT: Board of Trustees, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Bill Walker raised the question of whether Pat Moynihan and Bob Bork can continue as members of the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow Wilson Center. Both were appointed under the provision of the statute for members chosen from private life, before they entered the Government. The question is whether their later entry into public office disqualified them from future participation as members of the Board. Both had continued their membership for some time before the question was raised. I have spoken informally with Bob Bork who indicated that, while he would like to continue, he did not want to do so if it would be legally questionable. The Department of Justice has advised that, while the question is not free from doubt, they believe the better interpretation of the statute would permit both Messrs. Moynihan and Bork to continue as trustees. I agree with this conclusion. A copy of the Justice Department Opinion is attached. Please note that this conclusion depends uniquely on the language of this statute and would not necessarily apply to other statutes calling for appointment of persons from designated categories. CC: Bob Bork FORD is LIBRARY qualid ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL Department of Justice Mashington, D.C. 20530 JUN 27 1975 Memorandum for Dudley H. Chapman Associate Counsel to the President Re: The status of members of the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. This is in response to your oral request for our views on the status of Ambassador-designate Moynihan and Solicitor General Bork as members of the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The Board consists of 15 members. Messrs. Moynihan and Bork, along with six other persons, were appointed to the Board "from private life" pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 80f (b) (8). However, since his appointment, Mr. Bork has assumed a position with the federal government as Solicitor General and currently holds that Office. Mr. Moynihan, who formerly served as Am- bassador to India, is expected to return to public life as the head of our U.N. delegation. The question is whether Messrs. Moynihan and Bork may continue to serve on the Board or whether their positions as Trustees have become vacant because they are or will no longer be private citizens. While no definitive answer is possible, we are inclined to the view that they may continue as Board members. Our position is based primarily upon the language of the legislation establishing the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The legislation refers repeatedly to to trustees either "appointed" or "chosen" from private life. See 20 U.S.C. 80f (b) (8), (d), and (e). The implication is that while Congress was clearly concerned with the station from which a given trustee is appointed, it was not concerned with the problem of a trustee who after appointment joins the government. FORD it LIBRARY 978839 This appraisal of Congressional intention is buttressed by at least one other provision in which Congress demonstrated that it can provide, when it wishes, that a change in the status of a person appointed to a commission or board operates to vacate his membership. With regard to the Advisory Commission on Inter-governmental Relations, Congress provided that "[w]here any member ceases to serve in the official position from which originally appointed ... his place on the Commission shall be deemed vacant." 42 U.S.C. § 4274 (d). If it had desired, Congress certainly could have included a provision in the Wilson Center legislation expressly covering a change in the status of trustees appointed from private life. The contrary argument would be the following: since the Board of Trustees consists of 15 members eight of whom are appointed from private life, this suggests a Con- gressional intent to maintain on the Board a majority of nongovernmental figures. The argument is not without merit. But such a construction of the statute has no firm basis in the language of the law itself. Moreover, our research has revealed no support for that construction in the legislative history of the statute, which is generally silent on the question of a change in status. Nor is there any indication of subsequent Congressional concern with the problem. Mr. Bork became Solicitor General in June, 1973 and it is our understanding that he has served on the Board continously since then. Mr. Moynihan was appointed to the Board in 1971 and continued to serve despite his tenure in 1973-1974 as Ambassador to India. Yet to our knowledge, (assuming Congressional awareness of these facts), there has been no objection from Congress. In short, given the language of the statute, the absence of legislative history on the point and of any subsequent ob- jection by the Congress, we believe that it is proper to construe the statute as permitting a trustee appointed from private life to continue to serve as a trustee even though he thereafter enters government service. fem Wan Leon Ulman Acting Assistant Attorney General Office of Legal Counsel GERAD LIBRARY THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Date July 18, 1975 TO: Phil Buchen FROM: DUDLEY CHAPMAN I have included a CC to Bob Bork because I have discussed it with him, though not to Moynihan with whom I have not talked. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 23, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: DUDLEY CHAPMAN FROM: PHILIP BUCHEN P.W.B. SUBJECT: Board of Trustees, Woodrow Wilson Inter- national Center for Scholars Kindly prepare a memo, from you through me, to William Walker in answer to the attached memo on the same subject. Attachment 170 R. FORD 181 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 17, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR PHILIP BUCHEN THROUGH: WILLIAM N. WALKER tall FROM: J. ROBINSON WEST R SUBJECT: Board of Trustees, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars A question has arisen concerning the status of two Board members (or ex-members) of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (legislation attached). Daniel Patrick Mownihan was appointed by the President in 1970, to serve a six year term as a private member. Mr. Moynihan was also designated Vice Chairman of the Center. Upon becoming Ambassador to India in 1973, Mr. Moynihan was considered by WE Records to be ineligible for further service as a private member and his position has been listed as vacant. Since his return from India, Mr. Moynihan has resumed his association with the Center and continues to act as Vice Chairman. Robert H. Bork was appointed by the President in 1972, to serve a six year term as a private member. Similarly, his appointment as Solicitor General was considered by WH Records to disqualify Mr. Bork from service as a private member. His position, too, is listed as vacant. Mr. Bork continues to serve on the Board of the Center and participate in all of its activities. GERALD FORD LIBRARY -2- The General Counsel of the Smi thsonian Institution believes that the government's employment of Mr. Moynihan and Mr. Bork did not disqualify them for service as private members. Could you please clarify for us whether Sec. 3, subparagraph (b) (f) of the legislation does, in fact, implicitly prevent those appointed under Sec. 3, subparagraph (b) (8) from service in the Federal government during their tenure as members.

GERALD R. FORD THE WHITE HOUSE, July 21, 1975 ##### BERMLO FORD LIBRARY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 19, 1975 Office of the White House Press Secretary THE WHITE HOUSE EXECUTIVE ORDER PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON OLYMPIC SPORTS America has a special interest in its representation in the Olympic Games and other international athletic competitions. As we mark our Bicentennial, nothing would be more fitting to our celebrations here at home than to be represented fields. by our finest amateur athletes on the Olympic The Federal Government has never attempted to direct amateur athletics in this country, nor should it. However, the Government does have a role in helping to promote United States competition in international sporting events. America's best amateur athletes can represent us in the Olympics only if the Federally-chartered United States Olympic Committee and related organizations are sufficiently organized to recruit, screen, and develop the athletes on our teams. In the past, rivalries among amateur sports organizations have sometimes fragmented our international sports efforts, hindered opportunity for our athletes to develop their skills fully, and restrained voluntary financial support for our Olympic teams as well as other amateur sports teams engaged in international competitions. Because there are conflicting views on the best methods of addressing the problems facing international amateur athletics, it is desirable and appropriate that a Commission of outstanding, knowledgeable Americans undertake an immediate study of our Nation's problems in the Olympic sports. NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. There is hereby established the President's Commission on Olympic Sports (hereinafter referred to as the Commission). Sec. 2. The Commission shall consist of a Chairman and thirteen other members, who shall be appointed by the President. In addition, the Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate are requested to appoint two members of the House of Representatives and two members of the Senate, respectively, to serve as members of the Commission. Sec. 3. (a) The Commission shall conduct a full and complete study and evaluation of the United States Olympic Committee, its activities, and its present and former mem- bership groups on a sport-by-sport basis as they relate to the effectiveness of United States teams in international competitions in the Olympic sports. more FORD (OVE.) LIBRARY 2 (b) The Commission shall determine what factors impede or tend to impede or prevent the United States from fielding its best amateur athletes for participation in Olympic Games and other international amateur sporting events in the Olympic sports. (c) The Commission shall study methods to assure adequate financial support for our Olympic teams and other amateur athletic teams participating in international competitions in the Olympic sports. (d) The Commission shall study and evaluate any other related matters which have a direct bearing upon participa- tion by amateur athletes of the United States in Olympic Games and other international amateur sporting events in the Olympic sports, including development plans to increase the level of sports participation generally in the United States. Sec. 4. (a) The Commission shall, through the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, submit two reports of its findings and recommendations to the President. (b) The first report shall be an overview of the problems and an indepth analysis of the organization and operation of the United States Olympic Committee and other major sports groups as they relate to participation in international competition in the Olympic sports. This report shall be submitted within five months after the Commission meets for the first time. Included in this report shall be a set of recommendations for the President which deal with overall amateur sports problems. (c) The second report shall be an analysis of the organizational and developmental problems in each Olympic sport. This shall be submitted within seven months after the first report and contain an analysis of the financial and facilities requirements of each sport and recommend ways to provide needed funds.

BENNETT SUBJECT: Federal Council on Aging (PAS-WAE) This memorandum seeks your approval of five persons (or their alternates! who are recommended for reappointment to the Federal Council on Aging. The Federal Council on Aging was established by P. L. 93-29 on May 3, 1973, (Legislation at Tab A). The purpose of the Council is to advise you on matters relating to the special needs of older citizens, to review Federal policies that affect the aging, and to educate the public concerning the problems of the aging. Each year the Council makes three reports to the Congress. The Council consists of fifteen members appointed by you with the advice and consent of the Senate for three year terms. Members are representative of older citizens, national organizations with an interest in the aging, business, labor, and the general public. At least five of the members are themselves older persons (Mem- bership list at Tab B). On June 5, 1975, the terms of five of the original Council members expired. Secretary Weinberger and I recommend that the following three members be reappointed to serve full three year terms: FORD i LIBRARY 03RALD -2- Bertha S. Adkins (Resume at Tab C), a Republican from Maryland. Miss Adkins, 68, was Under Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare during the Eisenhower Administration. She was the Vice Chairman of the 1971 White House Conference on Aging and Executive Vice Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Older Americans. Miss Adkins has served ably as Chairman of the Council since its inception. Senators Beall and Mathias recommend that she be reappointed. Approve Disapprove I further recommend that Miss Adkins be designated by you to continue as Chairman of the Council. Approve Disapprove John B. Martin (Resume at Tab D), a Republican from Maryland. Mr. Martin, 65, is a former Commissioner on Aging and Special Assistant to the President on Aging, from Michigan. He also served as a member of the National Planning Advisory Committee for the 1961 White House Conference on Aging, and as the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Michigan Commission on Aging. Mr. Martin was supported by you for his original appointment to the Council. He is now serving as a special consultant to the American Association of Retired Persons and the National Retired Teacher Association. Approve Disapprove Dorothy Louise Devereaux (Resume at Tab E), a Republican from Hawaii. Mrs. Devereaux, 63, is a professional volunteer with the handicapped and aged. She chaired the steering committee for Hawaii's first Conference on the Aging in 1954. From 1958 to 1972, Mrs. Devereaux served in the Hawaii House of Representatives. Senator Fong strongly supports Mrs. Devereaux for reappointment to the Council. Approve Disapprove FORD & LIBRARY OFFACE -3- While each of the five members whose terms have expired has been an active and interested member during the past year, and each represents an important constituency, opposition has been voiced regarding the reappointment of two of these members: Monsignor Fahey and Dr. Eisdorfer. Senator Brock, in particular, has indicated his belief that the Council suffers from philosophical imbalance, and he suggests that this is a good opportunity to appoint members of more sympathetic persuasion. Senator Brock specifically feels that the Council recommends too many programs requiring massive Federal spending. The Administration cannot responsibly support such recommendations, which in turn leaves Republicans open to the charge that they are not interested in the problems of the elderly. Secretary Weinberger recommends that Msgr. Fahey and Dr. Eisdorfer be reappointed to the Council. They both represent important constituencies with the aging. However, alternate candidates are also provided, should you wish to replace these controversial members: Charles J. Fahey, The Reverend Monsignor (Resume at Tab F) from New York. Although unregistered, Father Fahey was sup- ported for appointment to the original Council membership by Senators Javits and Buckley. He is Director of Catholic Charities for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse, New York. Father Fahey, 41, is a member:of the Board and Vice President of the American Association of Homes for the Aging and is endorsed by nursing home administrators across the country and by Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish religious leaders.

Dr. Eisdorfer, 44, is a past President of the Gerontological Society and former Director of Duke University's Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development. He is presently Chairman of the Department and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle.

FORD is LIBRARY 038470 # # # Copy THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 4, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: PHIL BUCHEN FROM: BARRY ROTH BK SUBJECT: Financial Disclosure Statements for Members of Part-Time Committees, Boards and Commissions As Counsel to the President, you are responsible under 3 CFR 8 100. 735-31 (copy attached) for determining when the functions and responsibilities of part-time committees, boards or commissions are such that the members should submit statements of employment and financial interests to the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission. Although this provision has existed since February 29, 1968, the CSC does not believe that such a determination has ever been made. I have discussed this problem with the General Counsel's office at the CSC, and after their review of materials assembled by the Presidential Personnel Office, they recommend that: A. Members of the following should submit statements to the Chairman of the CSC: Mississippi River Commission National Capital Planning Commission National Railroad Passenger Corporation Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation President's Commission on Personnel Interchange Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service Low Emission Vehicle Certification Board B. Members of the following file with the head of the FORD & ALD LIBRARY agency so indicated: -2- Advisory Board of Commodity Credit Corporation - Department of Agriculture Federal Farm Credit Board - Department of Agriculture Rural Telephone Bank - Department of Agriculture Federal Prison Industries, Inc. - Department of Justice General Advisory Committee of United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency - State Department Advisory Board of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation - Department of Transportation Board of Directors of United States Railway Association - Department of Transportation Board of Directors of Overseas Private Investment Corporation - Department of State However, Ken feels that you should instead determine that all part-time organizations should file except upon the specific determination of the CSC that this is unnecessary. This has the advantage of requiring each agency to be examined and an affirmative determination be made that filing is unnecessary, thus preventing agencies from being over- looked. For example, CSC did not recommend that members of PFIAB file statements. Wheaton Byers has suggested that PFIAB be required to file with the CSC by the new Executive Order reorganizing PFIAB. In view of the nearness of that Order and the anticipated changes in its membership, his opinion was that only the "new Board" be required to file statements. Once you have determined how you wish to proceed on these matters, I can prepare the necessary paperwork.

Attachment CLALD FORD LIBRARY THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT THROUGH: RICHARD B. CHENEY FROM: DOUGLAS P. BENNETT SUBJECT: Modernization of Defense Domestic Installation Structure Background Preliminary consideration has been given to the appointment of a Blue Ribbon Panel to conduct a study of our entire domestic military basing requirements. Prior attempts by the Defense Department to realign installations have been narrowly focused and have usually resulted in adverse reaction. This memorandum describes possible structure of the Panel and provides a timetable for implementation. Structure of Panel Because of the sensitivity of potential base closures that might result from such a study, the Panel membership should be balanced and should consist of distinguished Americans who can provide independent judgment and credibility. Consideration must also be given to producing a Panel that the next Admini- stration could support. The Panel should be limited in size to perhaps no more than 12 members with any combination of the following background constituting the balanced structure sought. Panel Chairman - former Secretary or Deputy Secretary of Defense Two Government or Defense experts Two Senators - one from each party Two Congressmen - one from each party One mayor One governor One business leader FORD One academician or economist One labor leader or expert The incumbent Director of OMB LIBRARY The incumbent Deputy Secretary of Defense - 2 - Such a diverse grouping would provide input from Defense experts and from impacted communities. This diversity, especially with personnel familiar with local problems, may be a critical factor in producing a supportable study. The permanent staff for the panel should be a mixture of "in- house" and "out of house" people to create a balance between new ideas and essential expertise. The key position of executive director should be filled from outside the government and approved by the Chairman. It is important that the military services be represented on the staff. The panel's report will inevitably be controversial and it is preferable that the views of all sides be argued out during the study. If members of Congress are to be included on the Panel, it would be advisable to consult with the leadership of each House on those appointments. Timetable The incoming Administration should be advised of this issue prior to the selection of the panel and their views solicited as to potential panel members. Selection of panel members should be completed by January 7. Selection of the executive director should be accomplished in the week prior to the State of the Union Address. FORD LIBRARY СТИНАЗ
