I have sought to bring White House attention directly to the continuing problem of providing benefits of one kind or another that are not clearly "transitional" in character to the former President -- an effort on my part that has so far seemingly escaped attention, perhaps because no one at the current White House has authority to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, I do feel strongly enough about the potential damage to both Mr. Nixon and Mr. Ford that can arise out of all this to bring it to your personal attention, and to ask that you initiate some early resolution of the issues raised by the "Times" editorial. I feel it would be helpful, between now and the resumption of the Congressional session, for you to provide me with some material relative to Senator Montoya's summary of Kixon "support" -- to help put the same in better perspective and, next, to indicate how and when such support will be phased out in accordance with both law and common sense. My ability to use the same in a Congressional Record piece right after the recess would seem to be of value to all concerned. Your help and interest are sincerely solicited.

There is a question in my mind as to whether Mr. Bull, once he signed a lease on a house- - which implies a permanent status, forfeited his rights to per diem, which are only paid when a person is on a temporary travel status. FORD & LIBRARY 070838 Attachment nov. 7,1974 Jack: I would think option 2 Is all right. It seems to me that even 31 days of still consistent with "temporary committed occuponcy ys travel status" P. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 4, 1974 MEMORANDUM TO: JERRY H. JONES FROM: DAVID C. HOOPES D. SUBJECT: Stephen B. Bull As you will note in the attached, Steve Bull leased a house at the monthly rate of $525 payable in advance for the period ending November 15, 1974. Bull has completed his transition responsibilities and left San Clemente fifteen days before the end of the leased period. Because of his lease arrangement, there are three options for payment of the remaining amount due on the house he leased: Option 1: Bull pays WHO $237.16 This sum represents the balance of the period for which he had committed, but was obviated by his departure. Option 2: Bull pays WHO $100. Because Bull was in a travel status for 17 days and is eligible for $25 per day, he is entitled to a per diem payment of $425, which is $100 less than the amount due on the rent. Bull would therefore prefer to pay the difference between $525 and $425, i.e., $100, instead of $237.16 which is the amount remaining due on the rent. -2- Option 3: WHO pays total; Bull pays none. Bull does not request this, nor even suggest it, but it is an option which would save him from paying any personal funds to correct a situation over which he had little or no control. Please indicate which of the above options should be implemented. Thank you. MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 4, 1974 MEMORANDUM TO: Wilbur H. Jenkins FROM: Stephen Bull Sts While detailed to the Office of former President Nixon, I contracted with Capistrano Realty for a house, the monthly rental being $525.00. The rental period, which was paid in advance, was 10/16 thru 11/15/74. For the 31-day period, this breaks down to $16.93 per day. Because of recent events, it became apparent that I had completed my transition responsibilities and should leave the transition staff. Accordingly, I returned to Washington on November 1st, thus terminating my travel status. This also terminated per diem reimbursement to me by the Government. In settling my account with the White House Office, I was advised that I still had the responsibility for the rental of the house thru 11/15/74, and that I owed the White House Office the sum of $237.16. This sum represents the balance of the period for which I had committed to be in a travel status, but had obviated. It is my feeling that, since I am entitled to $25 per diem for housing, the monthly rental should be broken down to $25 per day and that I reimburse the White House Office $100.00. This sum was computed on the basis of my being in a travel status for 17 days, the entitlement being $425.00, and the $100 I would pay the White House Office would represent the balance. In short, I believe that I owe you $100 rather than $237.16. I will comply with whatever is your decision. JOHN L. MCCLELLAN, ARK., CHAIRMAN WARREN G. MAGNUSON, WASH. MILTON R. YOUNG, N. DAK. JOHN c.

FORD is LIBRARY GERALD There are ten (10) White House Communications Agency personnel / in support of Secret Service at San Clemente. The estimated cost for operations is $7,150 for the 90 day period covered. Sálaries for this period is $25,790. There is no per diem paid since these personnel are permanently assigned to this station. Automobile operations cost at San Clemente consists of payment for gasoline only -- the actual cost is unknown since all of the bills have not been received. It is estimated that it would be less than $2,000 for the 90 day period covered. Aircraft support has consisted of 3 hours and 20 minutes in Air Force One on 9 August 1974. On that date, Mr. Nixon was enroute to San Clemente when, at 12:00 noon, Mr. Ford became President. At that time, the aircraft was directly over Jefferson City, Missouri, and the cost of the remaining flight to San Clemente was $8,440. There were three courier flights from Washington, D.C. to San Clemente, California and return -- at a total cost of $19,500. A total of six Nixon staff members and on one occasion, a family member, were passengers on the courier flights. The other passengers were members of the Military Office at the White House and White House Communications Agency personnel required in San Clemente for the phasedown of that station. Also, some personal belongings of the Nixon family, delivered to Andrews Air Force Base by General Services Administration, were placed on an aircraft transporting Secret Service cars. These belongings were off-loaded with the cars at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, California. The total cost of the aircraft was $7,985, however I know of no method of computing what portion of this would be charged to Mr. Nixon since his property took a very small portion of the space on the aircraft. KEY BISCAYNE All Department of Defense operations at Key Biscayne ceased on 1 November 1974 and all personnel were returned to Washington, D.C. on 4 November 1974. The operational cost from 9 August 1974 to 1 November 1974 was $6,000. The salaries of the six (6) personnel assigned was $17,816 and there was no per diem paid since these personnel were permanently assigned to this station. FORD is LIBRARY - 3 2 The only remaining service at Key Biscayne is the commercial telephone service provided to Secret Service and paid for by the White House Communications Agency. The Hydrafoil boat presented to Mr. Nixon by the Soviet Union is in the custody of the Coast Guard at Miami, Florida. We are currently awaiting instructions for disposition from the Department of State.

These funds are not available until six months after termination from office (end of transition period). For 1975, the Congress is only providing $45 thousand for allowances other than pension. This represents five months funding (February 9 to June 30, 1975) for compensation and benefits for office staff ($43 thousand) and other expenses ($2 thousand). The full year cost of the 1975 level established by Congress would be $108 thousand ($104 thousand for office staff and benefits and $4 thousand for other expenses): For 1976, the initial GSA estimate provides $99 thousand for additional expenses other than pension to office equipment rental, supplies, postage, communications and transportation. A revised estimate would set the additional expenses at $92 thousand compared to initial $99 thousand estimate. The amounts for former President Nixon are summarized below: Initial Revised Estimate Estimate Pension 60,000 60,000 Staff compensation 96,000 96,000 benefits 8,000 8,000 Subtotal 164,000 164,000 Rental of office equipment & commerical services 20,500 14,500 Office supplies 12,000 18,300 Postage 12,000 12,000 Communications 40,000 35,000 < Transportation 14,500 12,200 Subtotal 99,000 92,000 Total 263,000 256,000 Rental of office equipment and commercial services. -- Revised estimate of $14,500 would provide for expenses for Xerox machine ($3,600), rental of two mag-card typewriters ($7,080), UPI wire service ($2,820), newspaper subscriptions ($750), and miscellaneous expenses ($250). FORD is LIBRARY Office supplies. -- Revised estimate of $18,300 includes $8,000 for 50 thousand sheets and 25 thousand envelopes of staff stationery; $6,000 for 50 thousand sheets and 50 thousand envelopes of personalized stationery for Mr. Nixon; and $4,300 for miscellaneous office supplies such as other paper goods, pencils and pens; typewriter ribbon, etc. Postage. -- Estimate of $12,000 would provide for required reimbursement to the Postal Service for franking privleges available to former Presidents. Estimate would cover 120 thousand pieces of mail per year. (500 thousand letters received in first three months with no postage allowed by Congress in transition funding.) Communications. Revised estimate of $35,000 would provide $18,000 for rental of communications equipment (four FTS lines, four commercial lines and six call directors); $16,200 for FTS and commerical service calls assuming 1,000 and 250 calls per month respectively; and $800 for telegraph and other expenses. Initial and revised estimates do not provide for 24 hour switchboard service which will be discontinued upon termination of present security communications arrangements. Tranportation. -- Estimates would cover motor pool expenses, per diem for staff on travel, and costs for commercial carriers. Estimates assume that military transportation will not be available for the former President and his staff. Revised estimate of $12,200 would cover expenses such as: $2,200 for motor pool (one sedan at 25 thousand miles per year); $8,600 for commercial transportation (this would provide about six round trip flights of 6,000 miles each for the President and two members of his staff); and $1,400 for 40 days per diem for staff on travel.

FORD LIBRARY M EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET DATE: December 17, 1974 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 REPLY TO ATTN OF: EGG SUBJECT: Transition Funds for Former President Nixon Mr. Scott You inquired whether there was statutory authority for the $3,147 spent for moving Nixon's furnishings and belongings out of the White House last summer. The estimate included $2,847 for Interior and $300 for GSA. Interior used existing personnel for parking and moving of Nixon's furnishings and belongings from the White House to National Park Service warehouse and did not incur additional out of pocket costs. The estimate of $2,847 was based on estimated man total days incurred for this activity. Interior has advised that authority for use of National Park Service personnel for this purpose is authorized by P.L. 87-287, September 22, 1961. GSA rented a van for $300 for movement of furnishings and belongings from NPS warehouse to Andrews AFB. GSA advises that this expense was authorized by the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, as amended 3 USC 102, note. These statutes are, of course, subject to interpretation and I suggest if additional information is required, the questions be referred to general counsel of Interior and GSA. Earl A.
