JMC's Office

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
December 18, 1975
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JIM CANNON
FROM:
KATHLEEN RYAN
KAR.
SUBJECT:
Ann Reilly
Ann Reilly would be a good Administrative Assistant.
I explained to her the operation of the Domestic
Council, and she expressed interest in the areas of:
the Environment; Health, Social Security and Welfare;
Agriculture, and Economic Development; or General
Government.
Not knowing your personnel plans, I could not tell
her if the Domestic Council had any openings. I
did give her ideas about possible employment in
other Federal agencies, and gave her C.V. to Art Quern.
I shall follow up with Art, and help anyway I can.
Is there anything else you would like me to do for
Miss Reilly?
Yes
No
Attachment.
