3) You were one of the few people that I considered
carefully for the post of Attorney General. In the end I
have decided to offer the post to Ed Levi who, as you
doubtless know, is the former Dean of the University of

SUBJECT:
Attorney General's Compensation
As you may know the Congress had to enact a special law
at the time of Bill Saxbe's confirmation to satisfy the
Constitutional requirements of a Member of Congress
taking a federal post after raising the salary of that
position.
There is some uncertainty about the Attorney General's
emoluments in the future. One school of thought says it
automatically is raised to $60,000 on January 2, 1975.
Another has the provision applying only to a former
Member. Still a third school argues that a new law must
be enacted to raise the salary.
At any rate, it's your problem now. Attached is copy of
Act and the committee report.

COMPENSATION OF THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
NOVEMBER 13, 1973.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. McGEE, from the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 2673]
The Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, to which was
referred the bill (S. 2673) to insure that the compensation and other
emoluments attached to the office of Attorney General are those which
were in effect on January 1. 1969, having considered the same, reports
favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill
do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 2673 is to reduce the salary of the Office of At-
torney General to its pre-January 15, 1969 level of $35,000 per annum.
The legislation was introduced at the request of the Administration.
It is the judgment of the Attorney General that S. 2673 must become
law before the nomination of Senator Saxbe can be submitted to the
Senate.
On January 3, 1969, when Senator Saxbe began his term of office, the
salary of the Office of Attorney General was $35,000. Later in 1969,
under PL 92-206, the salary of the Office of Attorney General was in-
creased to $60,000.
Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides that
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for
which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under
the Authority of the United States, which shall have been
created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased
during such time; and no Person holding any Office under
the United States, shall be a Member of either House during
his Continuance in Office.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
STATEMENT OF ROBERT H. BORK, ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL, BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE ON POST OFFICE AND CIVIL SERVICE, U.S. SENATE,
CONCERNING S. 2673, RELATING TO THE SALARY OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL, NOVEMBER 13, 1973
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
Thank you for this opportunity to appear to give the Department
of Justice views on S. 2673, relating to the salary of the Attorney
General.
Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides that:
"No Senator or Representative shall. during the Time for which he
was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the
United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments
whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person
holding any Office under the United States. shall be a Member of either
House during his Continuance in Office."
As you know, the President has announced his intention to nominate
Senator William B. Saxbe to be Attorney General of the United States.
The salary applicable to the office of Attorney General under existing
law is $60,000 because of a recommendation for salary increases sub-
mitted to the Congress pursuant to Public Law 00-206 on January 15,
1969. The salary for the office of Attorney General at the time Senator
Saxbe began his term of office on January 3, 1969, was $35,000, set at
that figure by Public Law S9-554, passed on September 6, 1966. S. 2673
is designed to remove the question of the impact of the quoted constitu-
tional provision on the nomination of Senator Saxbe to be Attorney
General of the United States.
There are two precedents for the proposed action. First, Lot M.
Morrill was appointed to serve as Secretary of the Treasury in 1876
after having been elected to the Senate in 1871. Cabinet officers' salaries
had been raised in 1873 from $8,000 to $10,000 and returned in 1874 to
$8,000. Senator Morrill's nomination was nevertheless confirmed by
the Senate.
Second, a measure with the same purpose as the bill under consider-
ation today was passed by the Congress in 1909 in order to permit
the nomination of Senator Philander Knox to be Secretary of State.

pose of the constitutional provision was "to destroy the expectation
a Representative or Senator might have that he would enjoy the newly
created office or newly created emoluments." 43 Cong. Rec. 2403, Feb-
ruary 15, 1909. After passage of the remedial legislation, Senator Knox
was nominated and confirmed as Secretary of State.
The purpose of the constitutional provision is clearly met if the
salary of an office is lowered after having been raised during the Sena-
tor's or Representative's term of office. The Senators and Representa-
tives know that, because of the constitutional provision, they cannot
be appointed to an office with a higher salary than was provided at
the beginning of their current term of office, SO the expectation of a
higher salary cannot influence their votes on legislation to raise sala-
ries of Federal officers.
S. 2673 should remove any constitutional question which may be
raised concerning the appointment of Senator Saxbe to be Attorney
General of the United States. I urge its early consideration by this
Committee and prompt enactment by the Senate in order to facilitate
consideration of Senator Saxbe.

PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE,
U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE: Enclosed for your consideration
and appropriate reference is a legislative proposal to provide that
the compensation and other emoluments attached to the Office of At-
torney General are those which were in effect on January 1. 1969.
Article I. Section 6, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides: "No
Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was
elécted, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the
United States. which shall have been created. or the Emoluments
whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person
holding any Office under the United States. shall be a Member of
either House during his Continuance in Office."
When Senator William B. Saxbe of Ohio begain his term of serv-
ice in the United States Senate on January 3. 1969, the salary for
the Office of Attorney General was established by P.L. 89-554 (80
Stat. 460, September 6. 1966) at $35,000. On January 15, 1969, the
President transmitted to the Congress pursuant to P.L. 90-206 (81
Stat. 642, December 16, 1967) a recommendation increasing the an-
nual salary for the Office of Attorney General to $60,000.
The accompanying legislation is designed to remove the question
concerning the impact of Article I. Section 6. Clause 2 on the Presi-
dent's nomination of Senator William B. Saxbe to be Attorney Gen-
eral of the United States.

SUBJECT:
Attorney General's Compensation
As you may know the Congress had to enact a special law
at the time of Bill Saxbe's confirmation to satisfy the
Constitutional requirements of a Member of Congress
taking a federal post after raising the salary of that
position.
There is some uncertainty about the Attorney General's
emoluments in the future. One school of thought says it
automatically is raised to $60,000 on January 2, 1975.
Another has the provision applying only to a former
Member. Still a third school argues that a new law must
be enacted to raise the salary.
At any rate, it's your problem now. Attached is copy of
Act and the committee report.

THE COMMITTEE ON POST OFFICE AND CIVIL SERVICE, U.S. SENATE,
CONCERNING S. 2673, RELATING TO THE SALARY OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL, NOVEMBER 13, 1973
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
Thank you for this opportunity to appear to give the Department
of Justice views on S. 2673, relating to the salary of the Attorney
General.
Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides that:
"No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he
was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the
United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments
whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person
holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either
House during his Continuance in Office."
As you know, the President has announced his intention to nominate
Senator William B. Saxbe to be Attorney General of the United States.
The salary applicable to the office of Attorney General under existing
law is $60,000 because of a recommendation for salary increases sub-
mitted to the Congress pursuant to Public Law 90-206 on January 15,
1969. The salary for the office of Attorney General at the time Senator
Saxbe began his term of office on January 3, 1969, was $35,000, set at
that figure by Public Law 89-554, passed on September 6, 1966. S. 2673
is designed to remove the question of the impact of the quoted constitu-
tional provision on the nomination of Senator Saxbe to be Attorney
General of the United States.
There are two precedents for the proposed action. First, Lot M.
Morrill was appointed to serve as Secretary of the Treasury in 1876
after having been elected to the Senate in 1871. Cabinet officers' salaries
had been raised in 1873 from $8,000 to $10,000 and returned in 1874 to
$8,000. Senator Morrill's nomination was nevertheless confirmed by
the Senate.
Second, a measure with the same purpose as the bill under consider-
ation today was passed by the Congress in 1909 in order to permit
the nomination of Senator Philander Knox to be Secretary of State.

Senator Knox had been elected in 1905 for a term expiring on March
3, 1911. In 1907 the compensation of the Secretary of State had been
increased from $8,000 to $12,000. An unofficial opinion of Assistant

ruary 15, 1909. After passage of the remedial legislation, Senator Knox
was nominated and confirmed as Secretary of State.
The purpose of the constitutional provision is clearly met if the
salary of an office is lowered after having been raised during the Sena-
tor's or Representative's term of office. The Senators and Representa-
tives know that, because of the constitutional provision, they cannot
be appointed to an office with a higher salary than was provided at
the beginning of their current term of office, SO the expectation of a
higher salary cannot influence their votes on legislation to raise sala-
ries of Federal officers.
S. 2673 should remove any constitutional question which may be
raised concerning the appointment of Senator Saxbe to be Attorney
General of the United States. I urge its early consideration by this
Committee and prompt enactment by the Senate in order to facilitate
consideration of Senator Saxbe.
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Washington, D.C., November 5, 1973.
PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE,
U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE: Enclosed for your consideration
and appropriate reference is a legislative proposal to provide that
the compensation and other emoluments attached to the Office of At-
torney General are those which were in effect on January 1, 1969.
Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides: "No
Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was
elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the
United States. which shall have been created, or the Emoluments
whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person
holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of
either House during his Continuance in Office."
When Senator William B. Saxbe of Ohio begain his term of serv-
ice in the United States Senate on January 3, 1969, the salary for
the Office of Attorney General was established by P.L. 89-554 (80
Stat. 460, September 6, 1966) at $35,000. On January 15, 1969, the
President transmitted to the Congress pursuant to P.L. 90-206 (81
Stat. 642, December 16, 1967) a recommendation increasing the an-
nual salary for the Office of Attorney General to $60,000.
The accompanying legislation is designed to remove the question
concerning the impact of Article I. Section 6, Clause 2 on the Presi-
dent's nomination of Senator William B. Saxbe to be Attorney Gen-
eral of the United States.

very personal acquaintance with his philosophy and views. I would
think he'd be about as valuable a person to assist in your efforts as

Dear Phil:
It was wonderful to again have you
and Bunny in Grand Rapids. You both add so
much to any gathering.
we can well imagine the long hours and
frustrations that you must have, but you should
get some comfort from the fact that unquestionably
everyone, who knows you, sleeps a little more
soundly because you are one of President Ford's
close advisors.
As you suggested, I have written to
Senators Tower, Hruska and Eastland per the
enclosed copies.
with warm good wishes to you and love to
Bunny.
Sincerely yours,
Tom

Dear Senator Eastland:
As a member of the N.A.M. and other
conservative groups before I retired, I am
extremely concerned to read in the papers that
there may be difficulty in confirming the appoint-
ment of Edward Levi as Attorney General.
I have known Mr. Levi both person-
ally and through members of my family on the fac-
ulty of the University of Chicago. We all have
the greatest respect for his outstanding ability
and integrity. I believe he is the kind of
person that the average citizen wants to see as
Attorney General. He will add strength to the
Ford Cabinet.
Isam confident that with your prestige
and reputation for integrity that you can help
get Mr. Levi confirmed without undue delay.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Senator Tower:
As a registered Republican, and a member of the
N.A.M. and other conservative groups before I retired, I am
extremely concerned to read in the papers that there may be
difficulty in confirming the appointment of Edward Levi
as Attorney General.
I have known Mr. Levi both personally and through
members of my family on the faculty of the University of
Chicago. We all have the greatest respect for his outstand-
ing ability and integrity. I believe he is the kind of person
that the average citizen wants to see as Attorney General.
He will add strength to the Ford Cabinet.
The recent election in Michigan (of a Republican
Governor and a Democrat to President Ford's old seat in the
House) shows that the public wants to see men and women of
character and ability in public office. The trend is for the
majority to resent party politics and labels.
Having met and heard you when you spoke in Grand
Rapids several years ago, I am confident that you are desirous
of bringing into government men and women of outstanding
ability and character ... and that you have the prestige to
help get Mr. Levi confirmed without undue delay.
Respectfully yours,

is unquestioned.
