Convention has been divided into committees as provided by
the Rules adopted on July 11, 1967. I have to the best of
my ability made assignments to these committees with the
single-minded purpose of providing the best possible
committee organization for the Convention. In doing so, I
do not doubt that I have irritated some and disappointed
other delegates. For this I am sorry and I sincerely trust
that any of you disappointed in receiving the committee assign-
ment which he sought will nevertheless put his shoulder to
the wheel and give his all, and I am confident that you will.
To assist the committees as much as possible, we are
in the process of providing as capable a staff as we can
recruit. Each committee will have assigned to it a full-
time staff adviser -- a person who has the educational back-
ground and the practical experience to enable him to assist
the chairman in planning and guiding the work of the commit-
tee and to counsel with and aid the committee in its
hearings, in its deliberations and in its drafting. There
will also be assigned to each committee a full-time administra-
tive assistant whose duties will be to relieve the chairman
and the staff adviser of the purely administrative functions |
