MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN CARLSON
FROM: JIM CAVANAUGH
SUBJECT: Information on Secretary Brennan's meeting with the President
Monday, 11:15 a.m.
Announcement of Meeting
I hope this meeting can be announced on Saturday. It should be said that
the Secretary will be in to see the President on Monday to discuss one or
two final issues on the manpower legislation that is now in conference to
resolve differences between the House and Senate passed versions of the bill.
Item for Jerry's Monday Morning Briefing
At 11:15 Secretary Brennan will meet with the President to discuss the
progress the House-Senate conferees are making on the manpower revenue
sharing legislation. You will recall that the President originally proposed
manpower revenue sharing legislation in early 1971. After two years of
pursuit of this legislation to reform the manpower program, the President
instructed the Department of Labor in his FY74 budget to implement man-
power revenue sharing by administrative action. This action was largely
responsible in hearings being held in both the House and the Senate. This
morning the Secretary and the President are discussing various aspects
of the legislation. We are hopeful that the conferees will be in a position
to report a bill to both Houses this week so that they will be able to send
the bill to the President's desk before they adjourn.
Background on legislation for Jerry
The Federal Government's manpower training system has been operated
by the Department of Labor through 10,000 contracts with public and private
sponsors. The President's manpower revenue sharing program would
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
- 2 -
distribut these funds to about 400 prime sponsors including States, cities
and other sponsors. The funds would be made available to these prime
sponsors under a formula. They would be given complete responsibility
for planning and operating their own locally based manpower training
programs. The Government's role would then become one of national
leadership and general oversight rather than the day to day monitoring
of program activity which now takes place. About $1 billion would be
made available for this activity in the current fiscal year.
The President's Manpower Revenue Sharing Proposal carries out his
concept of the new Federalism designed to turn over to the States and
localities responsibility for planning and implementing what are
essentially local programs designed to meet local problems.
