that is, through committees and whereas you have quite a

2

large body of men to draw from and then, therefore, have

3

large committees, we have a total of 25 and when MB divide

4

them up into 11 committees; even with duplicate assign-

5

ments, we end up with a comparatively small committee.

I do want to explain to you our procedure,

7

though, because 1 think it is important that you under-

8

stand and that you had better understand the importance

9

of this session. In many ways, what we are doing is

10

exactly what you do in the Legislature, with one very,

11

very important exception. Your committees in the Legis-

12

lature finally make definite recommendations in precise

13

language and the two bodies of the Legislature by and

14

large either accept or reject, either pass it or refuse

15

to pass it and the Legislature, when it acts, adopts and

16

that is the end of the matter.

17

We are not in that situation. The Commission

18

does not adopt. We are not a convention. We do not

19

adopt a Constitution for submission to the people. All

20

we are doing is preparing drafts of a Constitution to

21

be submitted eventually to a Constitutional Convention
