It was the Independent Office HUD appropriations bill that the President vetoed once. 8 DEC 1970 Mr. Eric Hager, Esq. Shearman and Sterling 531 Wall Street New York, New York 10005 Dear Eric: As promised, I report with some cheer that I have hired a general counsel. He is outstanding on all my criteria except for a lack of Washington experience, and I figured there that I might as well have him learn along with me. We are moving along in our preparations for the World Administrative Radio Conference in Geneva next June, at least insofar as preparation of the U.S. formal position is concerned, which must be submitted in January. 1 am also beginning to seek out an outstanding technical type from outside government who could serve as a vice chairman of the delegation representing OT?. I would like to pursue the question of your availability with you at more length as 110011 as you feel able to do so. I think that it is fair to state that at this point both State and OTP feel you would be an outstanding choice. I personally hope you can see you way clear and loot forward to hearing from you.
