1

part of a memorandum which was requested by the Convention

2

some days ago, which is a memorandum assigning for pur-

3

poses of study and consideration to the various committees

4

all the provisions of the present Constitution. This is

5

called the President's Memorandum No. 13. It comprises

6

presently four pages. There are six additional pages

7

which have not been reproduced but have nothing different.

8

It is merely a restatement of the same material on these

9

four pages by committees, so don't bother to look through

10

and pick out the assignments of your particular committees

11

This has already been done. As soon as it can be dup-

12

licated, you will receive the additional sheets, which

13

we will make available for you.

14

Just one word about this . In order to not dif-

15

fuse responsibility, assignments have been made to only

16

one committee. In some instances, this has required that

17

an existing section be assigned to committees, but not

18

the entire section so assigned, but parts of a section

19

assigned to a committee. In addition, there are some

20

instances where primary responsibility for a section ought

21

to be in one committee, but one or more other committees
