MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Subject: Organizing ourselves on the steel problem
I met this morni·ng with nearly everyone in the government concerned with the steel probl·em. * We unanimously agreed on the following steps. we seek your approval of· these p'lans and suggest that you mention ·them ·at· your press conference today: 1. The Under Secretary of· the Treasury, Anthony Solomon, wi'll lead a ·smal'l' and select tasl<; force, drawn from several agencies, to· develop comprehensive policy alternatives, for your consideration, regarding both the domestic and international aspects of the problem. We cannot treat the problem solely or primarily .as a matter of import restrictions. We need Q,n integrated approach to the industry's fundamental problems, involving the cooperation of government, industry, and lapor. The EPG Steering Committee and Ambassador Strauss will regularly monitor the progress of the Solomon task force. The Solomon task force should have its proposals ready by late November for full review by interested Cabinet Secretaries and White House units. The Administration must have its policies in order for the return of Congress in January. The task force will need to conduct intensive discussions with steel management and labor. Ambassador Strauss will handle all necessary international contacts and negotiations. 2. Secretary Marshall, Secretary Kreps, and Jack Watson will immediately make ~ersonal visits to steel communities hard h1t by lay offs.
* Mike Blumenthal (Treasury), Charlie Schultze (CEA), Jim Mcintyre (OMB), Bob Strauss (STR), Ray Marshall (Labor), Sidney Harmon (Commerce) , Tony Solomon (Treasury) , Dick Cooper (State), Stu Eizenstat (DPS), Jack Watson (Cabinet Secretary), and Henry owen (NSC). -2- 3. Within a few days you will receive from Stu Eizenstat proposals to revamp our system for Trade Adjustment As·si·stance. These proposals deal with all industries hard hit by imports. 4. Ambassador Strauss will immediately organize a White House Conference· on steel, at wh~ch industry, union, congress~onal, and Adminis tration representatives will seek to educate each other {without commitments by anyone) on the dimensions and complexities of the problem. 5. All of us involved will meet with "steel caucus" tnei:nbers to assure the Congress of our concern and of our commitment to take reasonable action quickly. We must work hard to avoid protectionist legislation prior to the congressional adJournment. 6. You should soon meet, separately, with steel industry and union leaders, and with le·aders of the congress~onal "steel ·caucus." 7. Each agency should designate a high level officer to hear complaints and ideas from the steel industry, unions, and communities and to pass along this information to the Solomon task force. However, no one but Solomon should "sound out" domestic interests concerning the acceptability of possible proposals. To assure that we all pull in the same direction, these various efforts will be continuously coordinated by the EPG Steering Committee. We seek your authorization to proceed with this action program: Approve

FROM: RAY MARSHALL £~/\ I .:>
In order to keep you and your reorganization project up-to-date on the Department of Labor's reorganiza tion projects, I have prepared the attached memo. It presents my approach to reorganization, the actions taken to reorganize my immediate office, reorganization efforts within Labor Department agencies and the major activities of your reorgan ization project as they affect Department of Labor programs. If you approve this report, I will proceed to make it available to the press.

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT
~ FROM: SECRETARY OF LABOR ~ SUBJECT: Department of Labor Reorganization Efforts
The purpose of this memorandum is to report on the status of reorganization projects which I have completed and will under take in the next several months. I. Approach to Reorganization These projects fit into a basic three-track approach.
First, I have asked each of my Assistant Secretaries to review their own organizations to see what can be done to improve the administration of programs, ensure clear lines of authority and avoid duplication of effort.
Second, I have established an inte.rnal reorganization·~.. task force to review organizational issues.which cut across the Department. These include program support and administrative and management areas.· My goal is to determine whether a different organizational structure will produce more effective program performance. Third, I will seek the advice and counsel of individuals outside the Department who have a relatively unbiased interest in our programs. In addition, I anticipate con tracting with another outside group to provide an objective assessment of the Department's basic organizational structure. This group will not necessarily be a management consulting firm. · I believe that combining these three approaches with my own experience and observation will provide a sound basis for my organization proposals.
~~D©~M· 1l@li' IP1'1S$®~Cii'il ~!i'pOSSS - 2 -
II. Reorganization of the Office of the Secretary and Under Secretary I began by directing my reorganization efforts at the structure of my own office and· the office of the Under Secretary. My emphasis here has been to set forth in clear terms the respec tive roles to be played by me, the Under Secretary and our staff ~ I also wanted to streamline our decisionmaking·procedures and reduce the number of people and functions. reporting to my immediate office. The reason for reducing the number of people reporting directl.y to my office is to allow me to have enough time to talk with key Department officials and permit me to devote my time to important policy issues and ensure the effective implementation of the Department's programs. A. Reduction of Organizations and Staff Reporting to the Secretary 1. Abolition of Office of Regional Director and Office of Field Coordination. These offices had become serious obstacles to the effective administration of Depart mental programs because the regional directors became involved in program operations. This caused confusion and conflictwith our operating program agency heads in the field. This reduction has resulted in the elimi nation of 50 jobs in our regional offices and 7 jobs in the national office. (At the same time, we are creating 10 regional representatives who are discussed below.) · 2. Transferred the 12-member Interagency Workers's Compensation Task Force from the Secretary's Office to the Employment Standards Administration. 3. Abolished a 7-member Work and Education Task Force, and the position of Special Assistant to the Secretary for Work and Education. The functions of the task force have been assigned to the Employment and Training Administration in conjunction with our new youth . initiatives. 4. Eliminated the position of Special Assistant to the Secretary for Construction and transferred respon sibility for the Chicago Construction Coordinating Committee to the Labor-Management Services Administration. · - 3 -
5. Transferred the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary for Economic Policy Review to the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Evaluation and Research. These actions have resulted in a reduction of 73 positions in the Office of the Secretary, including· two Special Assistants.• B. Strenghened Intergovernmental and Congrel:;sional Relations Activities We have upgraded our congressional liaison office, added to it the responsibility for intergovernmental relations and created an Office of Legislation and Intergovernmental Relations. As mentioned above, .we are establishing 10 regional representatives in each of our regional cities to provide liaison with State and local officials and Congressmen and Senators from those 10 areas. We are pre sently selecting these regional representatives in close consultation with members of Congress. C. Improved Management and Decisionmaking Process We have taken five basic steps in this area: 1. Clearly defined the roles of the Secretary, Under Secretary and Assistant Secretaries. 2. Established a Management Review Committee, chaired by the Under Secretary to oversee our zero-based budgeting process, .the implementation of program objectives, and the development of legislation. This Committee consists of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Evaluation and Research, the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management,. the Solicitor, the Deputy Under Secretary for Legislation and Intergovernmental Relations, and the Executive Assistant and Counselor to the Secretary. 3. I hold weekly staff meetings with top Departmental officials to discuss important policy issues. 4. I meet weekly at breakfast with the Management Review Committee to follow developments and ensure progress.in carrying out our management responsi bilities. I also have frequent briefings on congressional activities so I keep informed about the views of the Congress and can closely follow legis- lative developments. · - 4 -
5. In order to have the best information on the performance of programs, I establish from time to time· special ad hoc task forces to review agency programs. D. Intensified. Investigation of Alleged Program Abuses
From the outset, I have been concerned about potential fraud and abuse in departmental programs. As one of my first actions, I took personal control of the investigation of the Central States Teamster's Fund. I have also established a·Special Review .Task Force to investigate alleged abuses in the Public Service Employment program. In addition, I requested a study on whether to establish a special investigations staff independent of all program areas and reporting to. my office. As a result of this study, I am establishing a special investigations and review activity in my office. E. Reduction of Advisory Committes We have made a thorough review of. all departmental advisory committees and have recommended reducing them from 25 to 18. Two of the remaining 18 advisory committees are of a temporary nature and seven are labor sector committees involved with international trade negotiations. III. Reogranization Within DOL Agencies A. Reorganization Task Force This internal task force is reviewing programs which cut across agency lines and will recommend whether to more clearly define responsibilities among the agencies or consolidate these functions in one agency.· Among the areas being studied are special departmenta1 programs for veterans, migrants.and seasonal farmworkers and women within the labor force. I have decided to establish the Women's Bureau as· a separtate agency within the Department in order to give special emphasis to the problems of women workers. In· addition, a review will be made of. program support activities--legal, public information, libraries--to determine whether the present organizational structure is the most efficient. Administrative and management functions such as personnel, training, accounting, procurement are also being reviewed both in the national office and in the field. Most of these reviews should be completed by mid-October. . ..
- 6 -
IV. Relationship of DOL Efforts to Presidential Organization Studies The Department is maintaining liaison through my executive assistant, Paul Jensen and Mary Ann Wyrsch· of his staff, with the activities undertaken by your reorganization project. The following areas relate to Department of Labor programs and organizations: · - Occupational Safety and Health Task Force - ERISA dual jurisdiction - Civil Rights Community and economic development - Human resources - Education The last three studies all focus on the employment and training programs in our Employment and Training Administration. No distinction about the proper functional alignments. of these programs was made at the outset, .thus causing some difficulties. However, we will cooperate with the three-part examination of our employment programs. •
- 5 -
This task force will also examine our relationship with several organizations presently outside the Department .which have a close connection with DOL programs. Among these are the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the President'.s Committee on Employment· of the Handicapped, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the Contract Compliance Enforcement responsibilities under the Davis-Bacon Act, and the Federal Contract Compliance activities under Executive Order 11246. In addition, the task force will look at activities presently within the Department which might be assigned more appropriately to organizations outside the Department. B. Major Agency Initiatives The agencies of the Department have taken a series of organization steps to accommodate new programs and refine the administration of old programs. Among the more significant of these are: 1. The establishment of a small business liaison position in the Occupational Safety and Health Admin istration. OSHA has also intitiated an expanded program of consultation and training to complement its enforcement efforts. · 2. The realignment of the pension benefit program into the Labor-Management Services Administration and the establishment of an Election Advisory Unit to assist unions in the conduct of their elections. 3. The establishment of an Office of Youth Programs in the Employment and Training Administration to implement the newly enacted youth legislation. 4. The establishment of a new Office of Labor Management Relations to deal with the Department's internal labor-management relations problems. 5. The establishment of a task force to plan for the transfer of the Mining Enforcement Safety Adminis tration from the Departmemt of Interior to the Department of Labor. This major undertaking is scheduled for the beginning of calendar year 1978, assuming final passage of the transfer legislation by the Congress. This· legislation al~o gives the Federal Government major new enforcement responsibilities in metal and non-metal mining which will substantially increase the level of training and enforcement in these mining industries. · · ,.._. ... THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON
HOLD UNTIL TUESDAY SEPT 27
Harrison Wellford will meet with DoL on Tuesday the 27th to resolve differences between Reorganization and Labor. No reason to give the President this interim report. Hold until the issue is resolved, then give th~ President all at one time.

MEMORANDUM FOR RICK HUTCHESON
ATTENTION: Bill Simon FROM: Jim Mcintyre, Jr."~ SUBJECT: Labor Department Reorganization Report to the President of September 1, 1977
1. The reorganization project had a number of procedural problems with the way the Labor reorganization proposal was handled. Harrison Wellford is in the process of discussing these with the Secretary. Our main concern is that we receive sufficient notice of these internal reorganization plans to give us time to provide a substantive review for the President.
2. The final page of Labor's memorandum implies some criticism of OMB on the grounds that three different reorganization projects (Community and Economic Development, Human Services, and Education focus on the employment and training programs of Labor). The Secretary complains that "no distinction about the proper functional alignments of these programs was made at the outset." If Labor means by this that we have started with an open mind about reorganization changes affecting these programs, then we plead guilty. But we would point out that this is a basic assumption of the "bottom up" approach we have adopted. A basic difference of emphasis exists between the departments. Labor believes that the employment and training programs should move in the direction of becoming part of economic stimulation and economic development efforts. Others believe they should move more in the direction of education and human development efforts without so close a tie .to jobs programs and business promotions. Our studies are examining both points of view.
To reduce the burden on Labor, we have taken pains to coordinate our three studies. A joint data request form went out to DOL from the Human Services and Economic Development projects, and arrangements have been made to share the resulting data. In addition, at the staff level, the labor and training staff of the Economic Development project is providing much of the analytical
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT• OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET 2 support for the Education Project analysis of DOL's programs and is also providing materials to the Human Services study staff.
At some point, we will have to resolv~ the "proper functional alignments" of these programs. But doing so "at the outset," as Labor suggests, seems clearly inappropriate and unwise given the Project's general approach. Since Secretary Marshall's cover note to the President indicates his intention to make his memorandum available to the press if the President approves, we believe this statement on our pur ported failure to settle the "proper functional alignment at the outset" should either be clarified or dropped. We will speak to Secretary Marshall about this. I j , I . l '

These initiatives, in our view, will strengthen the internal management of the Department's programs and are consistent with the objectives of our government-wide reorganization. We, therefore, recommend your endorsement so that Secretary Marshall can make a public announcement. The reorganization efforts, already underway, include:
0 Consolidation of several staff offices and reduction of the number of persons reporting to the Secretary;
0 Strengthening of congressional liaison, inter- .. governmental relations and program abuse investi~ gation functions;
0 Reduction of the number of advisory committees from 25 to 18;
0 Establishment of a small business liaison in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration;
0 Establishment of an Office of Youth Programs in the Employment and Training Administration. In addition, Secretary Marshall has established a Reorgani zation Task Force to review and develop recommendations for restructuring programs which have interagency and, in some cases, interdepartmental implications. The Reorganization staff is working closely with this task force.

MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT FROM: JIM FALLOWS 'J~- SUBJECT: Conference on Women in Development
Mary King will be leaving almost immediately for this conference in Mauritania and wants to read a message from you. Here is a draft she and Achsah have submitted for your approval.
The Peace Corps was invited by the government of Mauritania, the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the Organization for African Unity -- an almost unheard of joint invitation for an American organization, according to Andy Young. The conference consists of ministry officials (many of them women) from various countries, and donor organizations. The problem the conference is addressing is that women are left out of the training and planning of so many development assistance programs. Women who traditionally were, for example, water carriers, are displaceq by new gravity-based water systems operated by men. In many cases, Mary says, the women's position is actually deteriorating because of development projects. She feels a message supporting the basic aim, without becoming a full fledged women's rights declaration, would be particularl~ meaningful to them. .. MESSAGE TO THE REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING THE U.N. ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR AFRICA CONFERENCE ON WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT NOUAKCHOTT, MAURITANIA OCTOBER 3, 1977
Women play essential roles all over the world in agri- cultural production, health care and education as well as in family and village life. It is important that women not be left out of basic planning and that they be allowed to partici- pate fully in the economic and human development of their countries. Only by developing and utilizing all of our human resources can we hope not only to improve the quality of life on our earth, but, indeed, to insure our very survival. I support your efforts in attempting to further this goal. The United States is prepared to work with other countries of the world in this process of integrated human resources .. ~. development. One of the most important ways we can contribute to your efforts is through the Peace Corps. I am proud of the work of Peace Corps Volunteers who, through individual service, demonstrate in a most personal way our commitment to the people of the world -- women and men -- and our desire to work with them in their efforts to expand their opportunities and develop their resources. I wish every success to this conference and all who participate in it.

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: STU EIZENSTAT ~~ SUBJECT: Tax Reform Work Papers
Secretary Blumenthal called me late yesterday about his concern that Joe Pechman and former Assistant Secretary of Treasury for Tax Policy Stanley Surrey had received early copies of tax reform work papers and about the fact that a reporter for the New York Times had a copy of Treasury's September 2 draft of the tax papers. (These September 2 papers, which are a rough early version of the final papers sent you last week, are described in today's Times.)
1. Papers to Pechman and Surrey
(a) It was my clear understanding you wanted Pechman fully involved. Over the last few months, and as late as a few weeks ago, when I mentioned Pechman ·· was in Europe, you asked me to get his opinion on all issues and asked me if he had seen the latest recommendations.
(b) Stanley Surrey, a Harvard Law School professor, was in Larry woodworth's position for all eight of the Kennedy-Johnson years. He is the most respected tax expert in the country. In addit1on he is an official consultant to the Treasury on tax policy. Larry and Treasury have fully involved him and have been regularly sending him descriptive material on the program. Moreover, Treasury has sent him a draft of Secretary Blumenthal's propos~statement to Congress fully outlining the program as Treasury envisions you will approve it. We have-not even seen that prQposed staternen~ ------
(c) Neither Pechman nor Surrey was sent the latest versions you received. Surrey's version was sent weeks ago when the papers were in very rough form.

- 2 -
(d) Both have been invaluable to us on highly technical matters and have helped us improve the package. Both have the highest integrity.
2. Leak to Times
(a) I personally called both Surrey and Pechman who swore they did not even show a copy of these early papers to their colleagues, in accordance with our request, let alone to the reporter.
(b) Secretary Blumenthal told me he is certain Surrey, whom he knows well and greatly respects, would never give his papers to the press, but he said that Pechman was a "chatterbox ...
(c) I called the reporter last night to check on whether he could eliminate any White House person as the source. He said he called a person on my staff to get information on tax reform and was refused any information.
(d) I am working with Larry to locate the source. There is a cover memo on top of these materials with no letterhead which may help us track this down. I will report any results to you. Larry believes the cover memo was w.ritten outside the government.
As you know, there has been a long series of articles in the press on the tax reform program. Some:of these have been directly attributable to Treasury. Treasury has a very large tax staff and many of them have access to all or parts of the tax reform proposals. There are only three people on our staff (including me) who work with the press on tax reform. None of us has ever met the Times reporter responsible for today's article.

September 29, 1977 ---- MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDE~ FROM: JACK WATSON SUBJECT: the Farm Family of the Year -- . Lloyd Klabunde; Emmet, North Dakota tember 30, 1977 Oval Office The purpose of this meeting is for you to greet the Farm Family of the Year -- Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Klabunde and their daughters, Virginia and Jane. Each year since 1970, the Farmers Home Administration has sponsored national competition for the "Farm Family of the Year" program. Competition begins at the county level; the national winner receives a two-day trip to Washington. Families are judged on the basis of progress made since receiving their initial FmHA farm loan. They must have. actively used FmHA farm ownership and/or operating loans for at least five years. The purpose of the program is to publicize the role of FmHA in helping families enter and succeed in the business of·family farming. Mr. and Mrs. Klabunde started farming on 320 acres of rented land in 1946. In 1958 they received an FmHA farm operating loan to buy dairy cows, a bull and machinery. They purchased 800 acres of land in 1964 with an FmHA farm ownership loan. Today they farm 1800 acres of which 800 are owned and 1000 are rented. Their 1976 farm program consisted of 250 acres of irrigated hard wheat which yielded 45 bushels per acre, 800 acres of durum yielding 40 bushels per acre, 30 acres of flax yielding 20 bushels and 20 acres of alfalfa yielding 1~ tons. The Klabundes are active in the St. Peter Lutheran Church where Mr. Klabunde served on the Church Council from 1971 to 1974. Mr. Klabunde is a present member of the McLean County Fair Board, a director of the McLean County Rural Electric Cooperative and county committeeman for the ~(9~~ {j@fr~~ ' . -2- Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. He was selected as the 1966 Outstanding Young Farmer by the Garrison JCs. Mrs. Klabunde is a former school teacher and 4-H leader. In 1968 the family received the Goodyear award for achievement in conservation. Virginia (25) is assistant director of nursing in a nursing home in North Dakota. Jane (20) is a student nurse. Their son, >Wayne, could not come. Besides the family members, these persons will be present: Secretary Bob Bergland Assistant Secretary for Rural Development Alex Mercure Administrator of FmHA Gordon Cavanaugh Other officials accompanying the Klabundes in Washington: Donald Striefel - FmHA County Supervisor Neil Medin - Acting FmHA State Director Jack Harmon - Information Officer, FmHA Fredic Bahrenburg - Director, North American Operations - Sperry New Holland Nancy Bahrenburg - wife Richard Anglestein - Public Relations Representative - Sperry New Holland ( •• OfJ (>.IIA. ~!m FRESIDENT HAS SEEN.

Press Plan There will be a photo session at the beginning of the meeting. III. TALKING POINTS 1. I am pleased to greet the members of the Supreme Court as you assemble in Washington to begin your annual term of court. The tradition of the President meeting with the Justices at the beginning of their term antedates Chief Justice Marshall's service on the Court. I understand, however, that in recent years this practice has abated and in fact has not been a regular occurrence since the Eisenhower Adminis tration. I am happy to reinstate it today. 2. The Chief Justice informs me that, because of the increased press of business, you now must begin meeting even before your term formally begins on the first Monday of October. As a result, you have spent most of this week getting a "head start" on petitions and jurisdictional statements filed during the summer. The increase in the case load of the Federal courts- the cause of your early return--is a matter of concern to me and to the Attorney General, as I know it is to you. I would hope that, within the framework of the separation of powers, we could in the future share our thoughts about the best means of addressing this problem. 3. The Federal judiciary has been called the balance wheel of our democracy. The principle of judicial review of the constitutionality of legislative--and executive--action is critical to our form of government. Your responsibility is grave, and I wish you continued success in meeting it.

Lesher, President of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States before the Senate Finance Committee on September 13, 1977. Our detailed comments are enclosed. I would like to emphasize a basic point. The Chamber's predictions of economic damage from the National Energy Plan appear to be based on incorrect assumptions. The Chamber assumes most of the wellhead tax will not be rebated, whereas the Administration assumes tax receipts will be rebated. Also, the Chamber underestim~tes the amount of investment that would be stimulated. These errors are particularly serious since they lead the Chamber to underestimate gross national product with imple mentation of the Plan or H.R. 8444. This underestimate, in turn, is a major reason why the Chamber incorrectly argues that the plan would impose a sizeable cost on the average family. The Administration, independent Congressional offices and private forecasting firms have analyzed the macroeconomic impacts of the National Energy Plan. The Chamber of Commerce is almost alone in predicting such large, adverse impacts. I appreciate the opportunity to provide you with these comments. My staff stands ready to work with you and your staff on further analyses of this or any other matters. Please let us know if we can be of assistance. Sincerely, ~·f.~ o.~=~ R.

In accordance with the Act, all deferrals transmitted in FY 1977 lose their effect on September 30, 1977. This message includes the detailed information needed to report to the Congress all deferrals of funds in effect at the beginning of FY 1978. There are 42 items to be re.ported, totalling $1,480.6 million. Thirty of the deferrals, amounting to $1,295.7 million, are routine in nature. These routine items generally involve funds that will be needed in the future but not in FY 1978. These reserves are generally requested by the concerned agency. Another 12 deferrals to be reported have more policy sensitivity than the routine reserves. Seven of the items involve energy projects which. should either not be undertaken or which should be delayed while project plans are developed. Four other deferrals involve temporary delays in the construction of gove.rnment or public facilities. Another deferral would delay a study that might otherwise duplicate a more comprehensive review al:;>out to be initiated. Brief descriptions of each of these 12 deferrals are furnished at TAB B. ·· Recommendation I recommend that the special message be transmitted to the Congress on October 3, 1977, the first working day of fiscal year 1978. Transmittal of the message on this particular day is significant since existing deferrals expire on September 30 under the Act .. Attachments TO THE. CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: In accordance with the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, I herewith report 42 deferrals of fiscal year 1978 funds totalling $1,480.6 million. The deferrals are primarily routine in nature and do not, in most cases, affect program levels.

The proposed order would further exempt Minetti until October 31 to avoid a risk of tie votes or lack of quorum on the Civil Aeronautics Board until Minetti's successor is confirmed. The proposed order must be signed no later than Friday, September 30. We recommend that you sign it. VApprove ---Disapprove EXEMPTION OF G. JOSEPH MINETTI FROM MANDATORY RETIREMENT G. Joseph Minetti, Member, Civil Aeronautics Board, became subject to mandatory retirement for age on July 31, 1977, under the provisions of Section 8335 of Title 5 of the United States Code unless exempted by Executive Order. Mr. Minetti was exempted from mandatory retirement until September 30, 1977, by Executive Order Noo 12006 of July 29, 1977. In my judgment, the public interest requires that \ G. Joseph Minetti continue to be exempted from such mandatory retirement. NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by subsection (c) of Section 8335 of Title 5 of the United States Code, I hereby exempt G. Joseph Minetti from mandatory retirement until October 31, 1977. THE WHITE HOUSE, '~ ~' :- ·.. .' ~··· '·. . < ...-· ·,•: : -~ ~ .. ' . I . ·~ .. . ·" ..
