MEMORANDUM FOR:

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.
Sec. 5. The Chairman of the Commission is authorized
to establish such Advisory Committees as he may deem appro-
priate to carry out the purposes of this Order.
Sec. 6. (a) The Secretary of Health, Education, and
Welfare shall, to the extent permitted by law, furnish
necessary staff, supplies, facilities, and other administrative
services for the Commission.
(b) Expenses of the Commission shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be met from funds available to the
Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare.
Sec. 7. Members of the Commission and Advisory Committees
created pursuant to this Order, not otherwise employed in the
Government, may receive an amount not to exceed $100 per day
from the United States for their service with the Commission,
and may, to the extent permitted by law, be allowed travel
expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence as
authorized by law (5 U.S.C. 5703), for persons employed
intermittently in the Government service.

FROM:
DOUGLAS P. 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:

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.

WASHINGTON

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.

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.
