of the mayor nahora for the "coat and cooler" option.
(a) 0n the vital nattor or progress in public labor-nonath
rolations. a majority oi tho Cousission nanborsnprosont and absent--
approved the "coat and confar in good faith" formula (which cloooly
rcannhloa the Minnesota and California statutoo as woll as Prooidont
Kennedy's hecutivo Order 10988) in the ballot that it strikes a happy
balance between the rights o1 onployoo organisations and tho neod to
provide public nanagors with s-Iwhot sroater diacrotion than is
accorded their private soctor oountorparts.
(S) 1 sue-hat nystiiied by your cunt that "thuoo circus-
stances only sorvo to dininioh tho Cuiaaion'o oftoctivoneos as an
advisory body to tho Conzrosa... and the indication that tho
Cmiuion's role Ihould be confinod to acting as an intorgovoruontal
tons. and not making policy rocuondationo in "sonoitivo sroso. in
addition to serving so a "torus", tho Camisolon is ohargod under
Section 2(6) to 'roccond, within the fro-oer of the Constitution.
the out desirable allocation of govurruont functions, responsibilities
and rovonuoo non; tho aovoral levels of goveruont." Sun of tho
Ca-ioaion'n noot successful reports in tern of public acceptance and
later inplmntotion have doalt with intergovernmental prohlona in
acnaitivo fielda. no report on building cod, on water aupply
and oowage diapooal in notropoliton aroaa. on public aaoiatonca, and
on naoa transportation are unplos. 'iheso reporta doaling with
fmctional areas have been the nourca of a siseahlo proportion of the
Conniaaion'e "lagislativc succoaa' both in the Congroaa and the State
legislaturos.
The foregoing considerations may halp explain oust of the more
critical factors influencing tho actiona taken by tho Cuission on
tho l9th. I should state in cloning that we havo boon in touch with
labor people at various intorvala over the past six aonths and nest
recently have indicated to th- at we would intludo as one appendix
in tho roport all of the autumn proaonted botoro tho Cuisoion
hearing on Jim: 12 (this hearing attordod these uion spot-anon an
opportmity to prooant their views) and that any nodal bills drafted
put-cant to the report's rocanondations would includo in a secondary
position parallel "collective negotiationa' proviaiona.
