Dear Mr. Ruth:

SILBERMAN DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL FROM: PHILLIP AREEDA . COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT I would like to set down my understanding of the new procedures for clearing names of White House Staff and Presidential appointees through the Special Prosecutor's office. Until now, as you know, we have submitted to the Special Prosecutor's Office over 700 names of persons holding or being considered for positions. We realize the burden that we have imposed on the Special Prosecutor's office and are very grateful for the cooperation they have provided. We also fully understand the desire of that office to simplify the clearance procedure and to reduce the number of names that have to be processed by them. Under the new procedure, we will rely upon the FBI to communicate with the Special Prosecutor's office and to relay relevant matters to us as part of the normal FBI report. It is my under standing that the FBI will query the Special Prosecutor's o.fiice in two situations: (1) Where the FBI's own files indicate that the Special Prosecutor's office has had an interest in the person in question or (2) Where the subject of the -check is being considered for a Presidential appointment to a fulltime position subject to Senate confirmation or for a senior White House Staff position. Persons in category #2 will be so designated in our request for an investigation and in a manner to be worked out by our Security Office and the FBI liaison official. We recognize that this new procedure may leave us without information from the Special Prosecutor's office on some appointees in part-time positions, those not requiring Senate confirmation, or junior White House .. -2- Staff, i.vhereve::- t:':::e FBI file does not already contain an indication of interest by the Special Prosecutor's office.

Blaylock who already holds or whom you intend to appoint to a public position of trust and confidence. After checking with the various task forces, I can report that Mr. Blaylock is not the subject of investigation conducted by the Watergate Special Prosecution Force. ~\ Since~ely, tic\v,\ ~~~ < HEN~ S. RUTH, JR. Special Prosecutor THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 11, 1975 ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: JIM CONNOR THROUGH: PHIL BUCHENflJ.'3 ;1 FROM: KEN LAZAR US'( SUBJECT: Special Prosecutor Clearances During the course of the past year, this office has been requested to obtain clearances from the Office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force on a large number of people. With respect to 35 of these individuals, clearances were never obtained. In order to clarify any White House records pertaining to these people, we are in the process of updating earlier requests for clearances so that previous denials do not carry any unwarranted adverse inferences. Recently, clearances were obtained from the Special Prosecutor on 11 of these people: Roy Ash William Baroody, Jr. Kenneth Cole Leonard Garment William Henkel Jana Hruska Jerry Jones Powell Moore Patrick 0' Donnell Geoffrey Shepard William Timmons Kindly arrange to have these clearances made a part of any relevant White House files. The remaining 24 names are currently being updated, and I expect that we will be able t report to you on them in the not too distant future. Thank you.
