Commission, Governor Tawes, and he too says that we
should keep the Board 'of Public Works in the Constitution.
Now, let us just see what this Executive
Branch Committee recommendation does. Hirst, they
say that the Board of Public Works is an unwarranted
dilution of the governor's executive authority and
responsibility, but they go on to say this. The Com-
mittee, the Executive Branch Committee, acknowledges that
under the proposed Executive ARticle, the Committee has
eliminated the existing Constitutional checks within the
Executive Branch.
And yet in its argument that there should not be
a Committee of three or a Board of three, this is what
the same committee says in its recommendation in the
Memorandum EB-I, page 22, lines 54 to 42, and they say
this, and I quote them literally: "The Committee recog-
nizes that there are few administrative absolutes and
that sometimes a plural decision-making body may be
desirable when there is need for continuity in policy
or to represent diverse viewpoints."
I am quoting the Executive Branch Committee.
