Archives, but in addition to that coverage by all five TV

2

stations. This has meant some investigation of the

3

gallery in the old Senate chamber to see that it is strong

4

enough to support the cameras, equipment, etc.

5

These decisions have not yet been made. In all

6

probability, if we can use the old Senate chamber, we may

7

do so, but there can be no assurance that this is likely.

There are disadvantages with the entire Convention in

9

there to sign. There would be practically no room for

10

sightseers, except of course, through the eyes of the

11

television cameras.

12

On the other hand, if the signing takes place

13

in this chamber the two galleries are available. If the

14

signing takes place in this chamber we would propose to

15

have a desk for delegates to sign placed up here in the

16

front aisle so that the delegates would be able to sit

17

down and sign in their handsomest style, preserved for

18

posterity in all of its charm, if it is charming, and in

19

addition we would hope to be able to so arrange the table

20

that for those delegates who wanted it, we could have

21

individual photographs of them signing the Constitution.
