Times)\nA group of freshmen House Democrats told Democratic\nNational Chairman Robert Strauss on Wednesday they feared\nthey would lose next year's election because of the\nDemocratic-controlled 94th Congress's record and a possible\nweak presidential ticket.\nA session with Strauss around a House committee room\ntable brought a welter of complaints from 27 freshmen. Many\nof the 27 freshmen complained of lack of support by the\nnational committee and by House Democratic leaders. They\nexpressed their concern that the party would fail to pick\na strong presidential ticket next year.\nStrauss told the group committee experts early discerned\nthe new congressmen were going to have difficulty. He said\nhe had offered them political training seminars but had\nfound few takers.\n\"We think you are in worse trouble than you think you\nare,\" the Texan chairman said at one point in the hour-long\ndiscussion.\nHe agreed with the finding by several freshmen that\nsome voters blame Congress for failure to pass particular\npieces of legislation over presidential vetoes. Strauss\nsaid polls showed that the new members were also blamed for\nupsetting House seniority rules and deposing committee\nchairmen at the opening of this year's session.\nDuring the discussions Strauss said at one point: \"The\nPresident has been having a couple of pretty good weeks, but\nin my judgment there is no substance in this. The only\nsubstance is himself, his manner. Mayaguez is not the kind\nof thing you build an election campaign on.\" (6/12/75)\nUdall Attacks Wallace's \"Negativism\"\nContinuing his new direct attack on George Wallace,\nRep.

If the\nsubject has not had a background investigation, the Director\nof Security refers the request to DIS for investigation. The\nresults are evaluated by the Director of Security who advises\nthe ASD (Legislative Affairs). Congressional committee staff\npersonnel so cleared are maintained on an access list which is\naccepted throughout DoD and generally by other executive depart-\nments and agencies. An identical procedure is followed for\nrequests submitted by individual Senators or Congressmen for\nclearance of their individual staff members. Other executive\ndepartments and agencies follow a procedure similar to that\ndescribed above but the great majority of Hill staff clearances,\neven for committees which have little contact with Defense, is\ndone by DoD. There are some 640 DoD Hill clearances now out-\nstanding.\nUnder the proposed change, each Committee Chairman would\nclear committee staff members for access to classified infor-\nmation. Personnel security clearances presently used by GAO\nwould serve as a basis for the proposed system. A personnel\nhistory statement, etc., for a staff member nominated by a\nChairman for security would be furnished to the GAO Security\nOffice which would request the Civil Service Commission to\nconduct a background investigation. (Commission investigators\nnow conduct background investigations for executive departments\nREVOLUTION\nLEVEGIT\nAMERICAN\nBICENTENNIAL\n1776-1976\n2\nand agencies other than DoD, State, ERDA and CIA). The CSC\nwould return all copies of the completed investigation to GAO\nwhere it would be evaluated and a recommendation made to the\nCommittee Chairman concerned who would act as the clearing\nauthority. Staff personnel so cleared would then be certified\nas required to all executive departments and agencies under the\noversight jurisdiction of the committee.\nDuring discussion, it was emphasized that the authority of\na Chairman to clear would not be delegated to sub-committee\nchairmen. Furthermore, the new procedure would not apply to\ncompartmented intelligence clearances or to clearances for staff\nmembers of individual Representatives and Senators. In the latter\ncase, presumably DoD or another executive agency would continue\nto grant clearances.\nThe announced rationale for the change was the doctrine of\nseparation of powers. Both William Moore, Counsel to the House\nGovernment Operations Committee and Eugene Peters, Executive\nDirector of the Joint Committee repeatedly stated that they did\nnot feel it proper that an Executive Branch agency should inves-\ntigate, adjudicate, and retain the investigative files of employ-\nees of Congressional committees that exercise oversight juris-\ndiction of that agency. They emphasized that a Committee Chair-\nman would follow the criteria for granting clearances specified\nin Executive Order 10450, as amended.\nAs of the date of the meeting other Executive Branch agencies,\ne.g., State, ERDA that are also in the business of granting\nCongressional staff clearances had not been contacted. Our in-\nformal checks with other agencies indicate the proposal will be\nresisted.\nDoD representatives attending the meeting did not react\nfavorably to the proposal. They stressed that since the classified\ninformation belonged to Defense, the Secretary of Defense or his\ndesignee had the obligation under the Executive Order to insure\nthe reliability of individuals granted access to that information.\nCommittee staff members countered with the argument that what\nwas being proposed was a procedure which had been in effect for\nthe GAO over the last two decades or more as well as being\ncurrently used by the Church Committee for all levels of clearances.\nIt is not at all clear how much push is behind the proposal.\nProbably Chairman Brooks is aware of his staffs' efforts. But\nour major oversight committees -- Armed Services and Appropria-\ntions --- have not been involved. The staff representatives\nadmitted that some Committee Chairman might want to continue\ncurrent procedures.\nis\nTOND\nGERALD\n3\nIn any event, the proposal will continue to be pursued.\nWe are committed to further discussion in the near future.\nBefore that time, I recommend we discuss the pros and cons with\nJack Marsh as a matter of priority.\nDor\nD.

The CSC\nwould return all copies of the completed investigation to GAO\nwhere it would be evaluated and a recommendation made to the\nCommittee Chairman concerned who would act as the clearing\nauthority. Staff personnel so cleared would then be certified\nas required to all executive departments and agencies under the\noversight jurisdiction of the committee.\nDuring discussion, it was emphasized that the authority of\na Chairman to clear would not be delegated to sub-committee\nchairmen. Furthermore, the new procedure would not apply to\ncompartmented intelligence clearances or to clearances for staff\nmembers of individual Representatives and Senators. In the latter\ncase, presumably DOD or another executive. agency would continue\nto grant clearances.\nThe announced rationale for the change was the doctrine of\nseparation of powers. Both William Moore, Counsel to the House\nGovernment Operations Committee and Eugene Peters, Executive\nDirector of the Joint Committee repeatedly stated that they did\nnot feel it proper that an Executive Branch agency should inves-\ntigate, adjudicate, and retain the investigative files of employ-\nees of Congressional committees that exercise oversight juris-\ndiction of that agency. They emphasized that a Committee Chair-\nman would follow the criteria for granting clearances specified\nin Executive Order 10450, as amended.\nAs of the date of the meeting other Executive Branch agencies,\ne.g., State, ERDA that are also in the business of granting\nCongressional staff clearances had not been contacted. Our in-\nformal checks with other agencies indicate the proposal will be\nresisted.\nDOD representatives attending the meeting did not react\nfavorably to the proposal. They stressed that since the classified\ninformation belonged to Defense, the Secretary of Defense or his\ndesignee had the obligation under the Executive Order to insure\nthe reliability of individuals granted access to that information.\nCommittee staff members countered with the argument that what\nwas being proposed was a procedure which had been in, effect for\nthe GAO over the last two decades or more as well as being\ncurrently used by the Church Committee for all levels of clearances\nIt is not at all clear how much push is behind the proposal.\nProbably Chairman Brooks is aware of his staffs' efforts. But\nour major oversight committees -- Armed Services and Appropria-\ntions -- have not been involved. The staff representatives\nadmitted that some Committee Chairman might want to continue\ncurrent procedures.\nIn\nevent, the proposal will continue to be pursued.\nWe are committed to further discussion in the near future.\nBefore that time, I recommend we discuss the pros and cons with\nJack Marsh as a matter of priority.\nDoc\nD.

Point out to Senator Scott that he was not contacted when\nthe surveillance proposal was first suggested, back in\nmid-August, because at the time he was moving from\nplace-to-place in Hawaii. All contacts were made by\nphone. The decision was made because of the high\nsensitivity at that time not to phone persons where there\nwas a substantial risk of interception. We did not con-\ntact Senator Mansfield in Portugal nor Carl Albert and\nMichel in the Soviet Union. We did call both Case and\nMcClellan in Alaska, but felt that the line was secure\nenough there for that purpose.\n2. It is my view that we should view. several major pieces\nof legislation including the Sinai surveillance teams as\na part of an overall package. Under this approach it is\nenvisioned that adoption of one part of the package could\nlead, by the momentum, to the adoption of other major\nproposals. The steps that I would suggest, and you may\nwish to change the order, are the following:\n-2-\na.\nPush very hard for the resolution on the Mid-East\npeace proposal and try to get it through the Congress\nfirst.\nb.\nSecond phase -- and you may wish to do this first\nrather than second -- press for the adoption of the\nenergy compromise.\nC.\nThe third step would be House consideration of the\nTurkish matter which is already passed the Senate.\nIt is my view that if we can get the approval of the\nMid-East resolution, this will help us on the Turkey\nmatter.\nd.\nFinally, I believe that it would be useful for you to\npoint out to the leaders at the meeting today and the\nones tomorrow the grave concern that you have about\nthe New York City situation and the lesson that it holds\nfor all of us. It is my thought that emphasis should be\nplaced on the plight of New York to serve as an example\nof absolute necessity of financial responsibility and\nrestraint in Federal spending. Recalling Governor\nCarey's remarks to you on New York being in dire\nstraights because of legislation for which he had\nvoted are words that every person should heed.\nWith appropriations bills being the major legislative\nitems in the next 60 days, the story of New York is a\ngrim warning to the big spenders on the Hill.\n3.\nIn reference to items a, b and C above in the order that should\nbe considered, this may be a question you would wish to put to\nScott and Rhodes for their inputs. Since we will be relying on\ntheir help to move these on theHill, it might be well to get them\nto suggest a sequence in which they be considered by the Con-\ngress, or at least propounded to the Joint Leadership Meeting\ntomorrow.\n4.\nYou might wish to make brief reference to the forth coming\nveto on the HEW appropriations bill.\nour\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nDate: 9-15-75\nTO: Jack Marah Jack\nFROM: Max L.

Mr. Goodwin acknowledged that No ARC person had\nanything to do with asking Senator Baker to leave our meeting.\nHe does not know who in fact did speak to the Senator, but\nhe said it was one of his men, or someone from the White\nHouse.\nHe stated that he had received instructions from his boss,\nRed Cavendy, that no Congressional Members were to be admitted\nto the meeting. He said this order had come from the \"West\nWing\". I asked if this meant Mr. Falk. He did not know.\nBut he further stated that he understood that several days\nago the ARC here in Washington said no Congressmen were to\nbe in the meeting. I told him I was unaware of any such\norder from ARC and doubted it very much.\nGoodwin has apologized to Baker's office.\nFor background information -- ARC at NO TIME was permitted\nto determine who would or would not be allowed in the meeting.\nUp to the time of the meeting we were under the instruction\nthat only the Federal Cochairman, States' Regional Representative\nMr. Donald W.

Also, people began wandering into the room\nwhom no one knew, and Senator Baker and Mayor Testerman were\nin the room.\nIn response to my questions, I have learned that at one\npoint one of the Advance men shouted to John Cain asking who\nall the extra people were? John replied that he had no\nidea, that they (the White House) were in charge -- it was\ntheir meeting. He said he didn't know who was supposed to\nbe there. For example he didn't know Mayor Testerman or\nSenator Baker were going to be there. He was told they were\nonly staying for a few minutes. He did not ask either to\nleave, and certainly would have objected had he known what\nwas going on.

I know\nthey will represent the United States of America in an exemplary\nmanner.\nI hope you will give every consideration to their request\nto be designated as official Good Will Ambassadors from the\nUnited States. If under your procedures a designation is not\nfeasible, I hope that you could write a letter of congratulations\nto this outstanding group.\nSincerely,\nhum\nSam Nunn\nCOCHRAN, GEORGIA\nE PRESIDENT\nDecember 3, 1975\nSenator Sam Nunn\nSenate Office Building\nWashington, D. C.\nDear Senator Nunn:\nI hope that the following will give the information requested by Mr. Emory\nCrandall in his telephone call to my office on December 2.\nWe have been notified by Mr. Jacob Goren, Director of the Southern Region,\nIsraeli Government Tourist Office, that the Middle Georgia College Vocal Ensemble\nhas been invited by the Israeli Government to be the featured singing group in the\nHoly Land during the Christmas holidays. Mr. Goren indicated that he expects an\nofficial invitation to arrive from Israel at any time.\nAlso, Governor George Busbee has notified us that he will issue a proclamation\ndesignating the Middle Georgia College Ensemble as official Ambassadors of Good\nWill from the State of Georgia to Israel. This proclamation will be presented within\na few days, as soon as a mutually satisfactory date for the presentation can be determine\nWe understand that our Ensemble was invited to be the featured singing group from\nthe United States because of its Bicentennial program of entertainment. In September\n1974, the Middle Georgia College Ensemble was designated an official Stay and See\nAmerica in Georgia Music Group by the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce. Since\nthen the Ensemble has given over fifty performances throughout the state. Included\namong these were performances at Ft. McPherson for the 200th anniversary celebration\nof the U. S. Army, at the State 4-H Club Congress banquet, at Six Flags>Over Georgia,\nat the Veteran's Hospital in Dublin, at the Lennox Square Stay and See America in\nGeorgia Exhibition in Atlanta, at numerous civic club Ladies Nights and at many, many\nother places.\nOn December 2, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce presented the Ensemble a\nspecial award for being the most outstanding Bicentennial musical group among the\nforty-five in the state to be so designated in the Stay and See America in Georgia\nProgram.\nThe Ensemble is to depart Atlanta on December 21 and return on December 30.\nA partial listing of the itinerary sent to us from Israel follows: After tours and re-\nhearsals on December 22 and 23, the Ensemble is to be the featured group among choirs\nage\nthe world in a performance of Handel's Messiah in Manger Square in\non Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day the Ensemble is to give an evening\nance at the new theatre in Jerusalem. Performances in kibbutzes are\nuled for December 26 and 27. On December 28 the Ensemble is to give a\nformance in Nazareth, where the Mayor of Nazareth will entertain at a reception and\nGresent medals to the Ensemble members. The group is also to visit Caesarea and Tel\nAviv.\nUnder the direction of the director, Mrs. Howard Henderson, and with the\nassistance of the accompanist, Mrs. E. A. Ellis, Jr., our Ensemble has prepared\na program that has brought audiences of all ages to their feet time and time again.\nThe Ensemble has a variety of costumes-both formal and informal to fit the occasion.\nAll of these costumes have one thing in common: they are bright red, white, and blue.\nThe members sing a program of All-American music from the many periods of the\nhistory of our country. The Ensemble is unabashedly sentimental, humorous, and\npatriotic in each performance.\nI have never known a group of college students who have worked harder and given\nup more of their time for a college activity than the members of this Ensemble. We\nare proud of the recognition that they have already received, and believe that this-trip\nwill be a just reward for them and their leaders. From seeing the reactions of many\naudiences, I have no doubt that they will be outstanding representatives not only of\nMiddle Georgia College and the State of Georgia, but of the United States of- America\nas well. Consequently we feel that some designation of the Middle Georgia College\n1\\\nEnsemble by the White House as official Good Will Ambassadors from the United States\nof America would be appropriate.\nWe sincerely appreciate all of the interest that you and Mr. Crandall have shown\nin our Ensemble. Please let us know if there is any more specific information that\nwe can furnish you.\nVery sincerely yours,\nLauis Louis C.

I pass along for what it is worth an urgent\nrequest that came to me today from Assistant Secretary of the\nArmy, Vic Veasey, and Nancy Hanks (I understand the Vice\nPresident is also quite interested in obtaining this waiver).\nMrs. Leonard A. Scheele died in Washington on Monday, January\n5, 1976. She is the widow of Dr. Leonard A. Scheele who, for the\nperiod 1948 - 1956 served as Surgeon General in the Public Health\nService. Dr. Scheele also has veteran status and was eligible for\nArlington burial prior to recently-amended regulations. The Scheele's\nhave long-planned an Arlington burial and the Doctor was quite\nshocked to learn of the new restrictions. Veasey advises that DOD\nregulations will not permit burial without a Presidential waiver\nand strongly urges serious consideration of this request.\nAn immediate decision on this matter is necessary. I will be happy\nto act as an intermediary on this one.\nG.

A group of the\nFestival Committee members are planning to meet with the Social\nSecretary, or whoever is responsible for Susan's schedule, in\nthe near future, and as you will see from the attached sheets,\nthey are most hopeful that Susan will be able to be on hand for\nthe entire week, from April 25 through May 2. This has been tra-\nditional in the past, and it would mean a great deal to all of us\nif it could be worked out this year. I can attest to the fact\nthat all the appearances planned are most worth while.\nAlso, in past years, the Queen's home country has given\na reception for the Festival officials, and the various Embassies\nhave been most hospitable. I wonder if an invitation might be\nforthcoming from the White House this year. These are all very\nfine people, and I can recommend them to you without hesitation.\nFinally, and this goes without saying, we all hope that\nthe President and Mrs. Ford will be able to be present for the\ncoronation, and of course they would be more than welcome at any\nand all of the other activities.\nMany thanks for your help on this. This is the big event\nof Norfolk's year, and its success means a great deal to me per-\nsonally.\nCordially,\nBiue\nGWW/jfw\nG.

FRIEDERSDORF\nFROM:\nJAMES E. CONNOR JEE\nSUBJECT:\nCongressional Mail\nMemorandum of 3/20/76\nThe President returned your memorandum of March 20, 1976\nconcerning Congressional Mail in the outbox with the following\nquestion:\nIn connection with Item #4 from Albert Johnson:\n\"Jack and Max should I?\"\nPlease follow-up with appropriate action.\ncc: Dick Cheney\nJack Marsh\nJunderstance H wonte to\nFORD is LIBRARY\ndo This for al.\nmay\nSAVE TT File\nElection: Comment\nC-16\n'Glad to Sign'\n(Editorial, excerpted, Richmond Times-Dispatch)\nDuring his brief visit to Virginia, Jimmy Carter, currently\nthe leader in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination,\ndemolished one rumor that his critics have been circulating about\nhim. It is not true, we know now, that Carter simply cannot take\nan unequivocal stand on any issue, for in Roanoke he unhesitatingly,\nunreservedly endorsed 4-H clubs. Reporters heard him do so and\nrecorded his firm views for the benefit of all skeptics.\nOn much less important issues, however, Carter did attempt\nto waltz around without taking definite stands. But even then,\nit was not always difficult to tell exactly what he thought.\nTake the right-to-work issue, for example. Back in 1971 when\nhe was governor of Georgia, Carter assured the National Right-to-\nWork Committee that he was \"not infavor of doing away with\" right-\nto-work laws. But what is he saying now that he is trying to be-\ncome president of the U.S.? Well, in Roanoke he said:\n\"If Congress repeals 14-B and it is placed on my desk I\nwill be glad to sign it. But I'm not going to take this on as\na crusade.\"\nWith this statement, Carter probably hoped to straddle the\nissue, something that he is quite good at doing. But he really\ndidn't. Anyone who would be \"glad to sign\" a bill that would\nnullify right-to-work laws and permit labor bosses to subjugate\nworkers in 19 states is a foe of the right-to-work principle, even\nif he doesn't take the matter \"on as a crusade.\" And that is why\nCarter, despite his waltzing, has made his position on this issue\ncrystal clear. -- (3/31/76)\nThe Real Issues\nGERALD LIBRARY\n(Editorial, excerpted, Baltimore Sun)\nAppropriately on April Fools day, a whiff of autumn could\nbe sniffed in the springtime presidential rituals. Ronald Reagan\nwas calling Gerald Ford soft on Communism; Morris Udall and Henry\nJackson were accusing Jimmy Carter of being beastly to New York.\nNevertheless, for a moment it was all as credible as sugar in the\nsalt shaker. There of the announced Democratic candidates --\nCarter, Jackson and Udall -- plus that potent perennial, Hubert\nH. Humphrey, met with Democratic mayors at the Waldorf-Astoria.\nWhat they had to say should have reminded everyone that after all\nthe primaries and caucuses and conventions, two presidential nom-\ninees will at last get to the real issues.\nDICTATED BUT NOT READ\nBY MR.

He suggested that this White House interest\noccur within the next week if a decision is made to try and implement.\nThis program involves the Mahoning Valley section which is a great\nsteel production area where there is a substantial effort being made to\nrevamp much of the steel industry production facilities.\nThey have been working with Russ Train at EPA and so far this seems\nto be going well with permits in hand to assist the steel companies.\nThe major proposal envisions a joint company blast furnace as well\nas an unit train. The train proposal is one they are working on with\nDOT. As a part of their employee program they have a major pro-\nject going with EDA.\nTaft suggests that a White House meeting might be helpful to try and\ncoordinate Federal departments and agencies who are considering\nthis operation together with representatives of industry and labor.\nTaft suggests that I. W. Abel would probably be a participant in\nsuch a meeting.\nKey leaders in the effort are the Mayor of Youngstown, Jack Hunter\n(who incidentally is a Republican candidate for Congress), and a\nperson named Sullivan.\nThe purpose of this memo is to let you know of the Taft proposal\nand invite your comments on how this might be handled.\ncc: Dick Cheney, Max Friedersdorf, Bill Gorog\nJerry Jones, Ron Nessen\ncong.\nSeptember 22, 1976\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nBRENT SCONCROFT\nFROM:\nJACK MARSH\nI need to discuss with you a matter which came to my\nattention when I was on Capitol Hill yesterday after-\nnoon.
