INTERVIEWER: John G. Roberts
Comments
Mr. Weinmann is the prospective nominee for Commissioner
General of the United States Government for the 1984 Louisiana
World Exposition. The President is authorized to appoint
such a Commissioner General by P.L. 97-254, § 2 (b) (1). That
section further provides that the position shall be in the
Department of Commerce and that the responsibilities of the
FOIA(b) (6)
position are those prescribed by the Secretary of Commerce.

None of the
holdings present an apparent impediment to the conflict-free
discharge of the responsibilities of the Commissioner
General. Those responsibilities, however, are not precisely
defined by statute, and accordingly I advised Mr. Weinmann
that he should be alert to possible conflicts and recuse
himself should any matter come before him involving any
entity in which he had a financial interest. I also advised
him to consult the Commerce Department Ethics Officer should
he have any questions in this regard during the course of
his tenure. Both Ms. Wagner and Mr. Smith agreed that this
was the desirable course of action.
Mr. Weinmann reported that he was on good terms with both of
his state's senators.

SUBJECT:
Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission
I have reviewed the Personal Data Statements submitted by
Jean M. Barren and Joseph D. Cloud for appointment as
representatives of the United States on the Ohio River
Valley Water Sanitation Commission. The President is
authorized to appoint representatives to this Commission by
Article IV of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Compact,
54 Stat. 753 (1940). The Commission, composed of three
Federal representatives and three representatives from each
member state, is charged with reviewing and reporting on
water pollution in the Ohio River Valley, and is empowered
to issue orders against municipalities, corporations, and
individuals with respect to the discharge of sewage or waste
into the Ohio or its tributaries.
The Personal Data Statements for both Mrs. Barren and Mr.
Cloud are straightforward, and reveal no conflicts that
would preclude their appointment to the Commission.

MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING
FROM:
JOHN G. ROBERTS
SUBJECT:
Federal Representatives on Southern
Interstate Nuclear Board and Western
Interstate Nuclear Board
I have reviewed the PDS of William Doub, prospective appointee
(PA) to serve as Federal representative on the Southern
Interstate Nuclear Board, and Sherrie Cooksey has reviewed
the PDS of Lawrence O'Donnell, for the same position on the
Western Interstate Nuclear Board. These two boards were
formed by interstate compact -- they are not Federal agencies
- and have non-regulatory functions, including gathering
and disseminating information on atomic power in the respec-
tive regions, encouraging development and use of nuclear
energy, organizing and conducting demonstration projects and
training programs, and recommending changes in state laws
and regulations. See P.L. 87-563; P.L. 91-461 (attached).
The federal representatives have no vote.
In light of the general non-regulatory functions of the
boards, I did not see any objection to going forward with
Mr. Doub, and Sherrie did not see any objection to going
forward with Mr. O'Donnell. Both Doub and O'Donnell,
however, have interests in the energy area, as would be
expected of appointees to boards such as these. We thought
it advisable, in an abundance of caution, simply to reiter-
ate to these prospective appointees the need to recuse
themselves should (as seems unlikely) a particular matter
with potential to affect their interests come before the
board on which they will serve. In particular, we thought
it appropriate to alert them in writing to the requirements
of 18 U.S.C. § 208. Attached for your approval are the
letters we propose to send.

Dear Mr. Doub:
We have reviewed the Personal Data Statement submitted in
connection with your prospective appointment as Federal
Representative to the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board. In
light of the general non-regulatory functions of the Board,
and your description of your client relationships and
financial holdings, it is not likely that those relation-
ships or holdings will present a conflict of interest with
respect to your responsibilities on the Board. At the same
time, however, you should be alert to possible conflicts of
interest and recuse yourself from consideration of any
particular matter before the Board in which you may be
considered to have a financial interest, as required by 18
U.S.C. § 208. A copy of that provision is attached for your
information.
If you have any questions in this regard, you should contact
the appropriate agency ethics official or this office for
guidance.

[H. R. 10618]
An Act granting the consent of Congress to the Southern Interstate Nuclear
Compact, and for related purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That:
It is hereby declared to be the national policy to encourage and
recognize the performance of functions by the States with respect
to the peaceful use of nuclear energy in its several forms. The
Federal Government recognizes that many programs in nuclear fields
can benefit from cooperation among the States, as well as between
304

the Federal Government and the States. The importance of the
interstate compact as one means for promoting such cooperation is
hereby declared as part of the intention of Congress, already ex-
pressed in part in Public Law 86-373, to facilitate the use of State
jurisdiction in and over portions of the development and regulatory
nuclear field.
Sec. 2. The Congress hereby consents to the Southern Interstate
Nuclear Compact, which compact is as follows:
"ARTICLE I. POLICY AND PURPOSE
"The party states recognize that the proper employment of nuclear
energy, facilities, materials, and products can assist substantially in
the industrialization of the South and the development of a balanced
economy for the region. They also recognize that optimum benefit
from and acquisition of nuclear resources and facilities requires sys-
tematic encouragement, guidance, and assistance from the party
states on a cooperative basis. It is the policy of the party states to
undertake such cooperation on a continuing basis; it is the purpose
of this compact to provide the instruments and framework for such
a cooperative effort to improve the economy of the South and con-
tribute to the individual and community well-being of the region's
people.
"ARTICLE II. THE BOARD
"(a) There is hereby created an agency of the party states to be
known as the 'Southern Interstate Nuclear Board' (hereinafter called
the Board). The Board shall be composed of one member from each
party state designated or appointed in accordance with the law of
the state which he represents and serving and subject to removal in
accordance with such law. Any member of the Board may provide
for the discharge of his duties and the performance of his functions
thereon (either for the duration of his membership or for any lesser
period of time) by a deputy or assistant, if the laws of his state make
specific provisions therefor. The federal government may be repre-
sented without vote if provision is made by federal law for such
representation.
"(b) The Board members of the party states shall each be entitled
to one vote on the Board. No action of the Board shall be binding
unless taken at a meeting at which a majority of all members repre-
senting the party states are present and unless a majority of the total
number of votes on the Board are cast in favor thereof.
"(c) The Board shall have a seal.
"(d) The Board shall elect annually, from among its members, a
chairman, a vice chairman, and a treasurer. The Board shall appoint
an Executive Director who shall serve at its pleasure and who shall
also act as Secretary, and who, together with the Treasurer, shall be
bonded in such amounts as the Board may require.
"(e) The Executive Director, with the approval of the Board, shall
appoint and remove or discharge such personnel as may be necessary
for the performance of the Board's functions irrespective of the civil

service, personnel or other merit system laws of any of the party
states.
"(f) The Board may establish and maintain, independently or in
conjunction with any one or more of the party states, a suitable retire-
ment system for its full-time employees. Employees of the Board
shall be eligible for social security coverage in respect of old age and
survivors insurance provided that the Board takes such steps as may
be necessary pursuant to federal law to participate in such program
of insurance as a governmental agency or unit. The Board may
establish and maintain or participate in such additional programs
of employee benefits as may be appropriate.
"(g) The Board may borrow, accept, or contract for the services
of personnel from any state or the United States or any subdivision
or agency thereof, from any interstate agency, or from any institu-
tion, person, firm or corporation.
"(h) The Board may accept for any of its purposes and functions
under this compact any and all donations, and grants of money, equip-
ment, supplies, materials, and services (conditional or otherwise)
from any state or the United States or any subdivision or agency
thereof, or interstate agency, or from any institution, person, firm, or
corporation, and may receive, utilize, and dispose of the same.
"(i) The Board may establish and maintain such facilities as may
be necessary for the transacting of its business. The Board may
acquire, hold, and convey real and personal property and any interest
therein.
"(j) The Board shall adopt bylaws, rules, and regulations for the
conduct of its business, and shall have the power to amend and rescind
these bylaws, rules, and regulations. The Board shall publish its
bylaws, rules, and regulations in convenient form and shall file a copy
thereof, and shall also file a copy of any amendment thereto, with
the appropriate agency or officer in each of the party states.
"(k) The Board annually shall make to the governor of each party
state, a report covering the activities of the Board for the preceding
year, and embodying such recommendations as may have been adopted
by the Board, which report shall be transmitted to the legislature of
said state. The Board may issue such additional reports as it may
deem desirable.
"ARTICLE III. FINANCES
"(a) The Board shall submit to the executive head or designated
officer or officers of each party state a budget of its estimated expendi-
tures for such period as may be required by the laws of that jurisdic-
tion for presentation to the legislature thereof.
"(b) Each of the Board's budgets of estimated expenditures shall
contain specific recommendations of the amount or amounts to be
appropriated by each of the party states. One half of the total
amount of each budget of estimated expenditures shall be apportioned
among the party states in equal shares; one quarter of each such
budget shall be apportioned among the party states in accordance
with the ratio of their populations to the total population of the en-
306
July 31
INTERSTATE NUCLEAR COMPACT P.L. 87-563
tire group of party states based on the last decennial federal census;
and one quarter of each such budget shall be apportioned among the
party states on the basis of the relative average per capita income of
the inhabitants in each of the party states based on the latest com-
putations published by the federal census-taking agency. Subject to
appropriation by their respective legislatures, the Board shall be pro-
vided with such funds by each of the party states as are necessary to
provide the means of establishing and maintaining facilities, a staff
of personnel, and such activities as may be necessary to fulfill the
powers and duties imposed upon and entrusted to the Board.
"(c) The Board may meet any of its obligations in whole or in
part with funds available to it under Article II (h) of this compact,
provided that the Board takes specific action setting aside such funds
prior to the incurring of any obligation to be met in whole or in part
in this manner. Except where the Board makes use of funds available
to it under Article II (h) hereof, the Board shall not incur any
obligation prior to the allotment of funds by the party jurisdictions
adequate to meet the same.
"(d) Any expenses and any other costs for each member of the
Board in attending Board meetings shall be met by the Board.
"(e) The Board shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and
disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the Board shall
be subject to the audit and accounting procedures established under
its bylaws. However, all receipts and disbursements of funds
handled by the Board shall be audited yearly by a qualified public ac-
countant and the report of the audit shall be included in and become
part of the annual report of the Board.
"(f) The accounts of the Board shall be open at any reasonable
time for inspection.
"ARTICLE IV. ADVISORY COMMITTEES
"The Board may establish such advisory and technical committees
as it may deem necessary, membership on which to include but not
be limited to private citizens, expert and lay personnel, representa-
tives of industry, labor, commerce, agriculture, civic associations,
medicine, education, voluntary health agencies, and officials of local,
State and Federal Government, and may cooperate with and use the
services of any such committees and the organizations which they
represent in furthering any of its activities under this compact.
"ARTICLE V. POWERS
"The Board shall have power to-
"(a) ascertain and analyze on a continuing basis the position
of the South with respect to nuclear and related industries.
"(b) encourage the development and use of nuclear energy,
facilities, installations, and products as part of a balanced
economy.
"(c) collect, correlate, and disseminate information relating to

dures and practices or ordinances of the party states in any of

such an activity or project. Any such agreement shall specify its
purpose or purposes; its duration and the procedure for termination
