As requested, I have canvassed all of the schedule office

Those that do have an interest are pretty vague about slots they
are interested in; however, I enclose a run-down of the information
I have obtained to date.
Cheers,

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Ehrlichman
DATE: Nov. 22, 1968
FROM: Bryce Harlow
BW
On November 22 Congressman Mel Laird
telephoned to say that Wilbur Cohen, Secre-
tary for HEW, is issuing quite a number of
decisions and announcements making highly
costly changes in welfare programs effective
in the Nixon administration.
For example, on Monday last he announced
that the investigations and spot checks on
welfare cases will be discontinued. The con-
sequences of this will hit the budget extremely
hard. Other announcements of a similar char-
acter are coming right along.
Laird rather believes that even the pre-
sent Administration's budget leaders would not
necessarily approve these actions.
He expects these actions to have a very
grave effect on the Nixon budgetary freedom.
He thinks something should be done to try to
stop this kind of conduct by Cohen.
Faird
I wonder if you would like to discuss this
with Frank Lincoln and see what he can work out
on this score with Murphy and/or the budget
Dane
leaders of the present Administration.

SUBJ: STATUS REPORT
The following is a status report for the week ending January 10,1969.
I. CORRESPONDENCE
We are current on all Congressional correspondence and acknowledgements
to applicants.
II. INITIAL SORT
We received 3,267 new applications this week and reviewed 3,763 in the
initial sort. This function is within 24 hours of being up to date.
III. DESK MEN
The desk men are generating approximately 300 resumes per week to the
review committee. The liaison with the Cabinet offices is running
smoothly except in the Departments I have conversed about with you directly.
IV. MISCELLANEOUS
A) We have now received over 25,000 resumes and have acknowledged and
begun processing all.
B) Our computerized index is working smoothly and enabling us to locate
and give some information on each resume in our office.
C) Our telephone checking system is working very well. We have uncovered
about 10% of our applicants that have been processed through the review
committee as unsuitable for federal employment. This is a considerably
higher figure than the FBI name check uncovers. I strongly recommend
that in your discussions with Cabinet Officers, you stress the importance
of full background and security check.

Re:
Transition Office Space
John Ehrlichman has asked me to reply to your question regard-
ing transition office space in Washington.
There is no further space available in GSA Building #7. It is
likely that additional space can become available in other gov-
ernment buildings. Requests for this space should be cleared
through me.

Dear Dick:
Thank you so much for your letter of December 6 and your
generous offer to reimburse me for the Chicago trip.
However, since this was legitimately a campaign activity, al-
beit post-election, the expense was charged to the campaign fund and
no reimbursement is indicated.
I certainly appreciate your offer, but I return your check 910729
herewith with thanks.
I very much appreciate being included in the Chicago meeting.
I think it was profitable for all who attended, and it gave me a chance
to see all my friends at United again.
Best personal regards.
Yours sincerely,
John D. Ehrlichman
Counsel to the President-elect

Dear John:
As you know, you were one of our honored guests at
United's recognition dinner on November 25. Due to an
oversight on our part, your hotel bill and air transportation
were paid by yourself. We had made arrangements with the
hotel to defer that expense to us, and tickets for your
flight had been arranged by our New York office.
John, please accept the enclosed check covering those
expenses and our appreciation for your attendance in
spite of an extremely busy schedule. Continued success
in your new position.
Sincerely,
Dorsey
President
