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.
6	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
