submitted to Governor Love in 1964. We re-
viewed this legislation in light of those
recommendations.

The committee that has worked on these
bills has tried to incorporate some of those
recommendations into the legislation. I think
they are there in one form or another. The
disagreement at this time concerns the methods
employed. It seems to me that we can by
tomorrow rephrase what was contained in our
report to the Governor in 1964 and the objec-
tives which should be attained by this
legislation. ObviouSly the legislature
merely prescribed broad policy guidelines.
Most of the things we think should be done
are incorporated in the proposed legislation
in one bill or another. They are not satis-
factorily geared together in our opinion at
this time in the eight bills.

As the Chairman has stated, we are only
a very small part of the complex political
machinery in this state. We can do nothing
more than to make recommendations. We have
no responsibility in connection with enact-
ment of legislation. The committee that has
,
worked on this has done a tremendous job. We
will,however, within the next two weeks, in
addition to the specific policy guidelines
which we think the Board has already adopted,
come up with pinpoint recommendations as to
what changes we think should be made in the
proposed legislation. We have been working
on that and will have it completed within
two weeks. This means we'll meet with Mr.
Geissinger and the other members of his com-
mittee. We will then ask the advisory com-
mittee to meet in about two weeks time, pre-
paratory to the Board meeting, if we have
one, on February 5th.

I agree that ther,e is an urgency in this
matter, I am confident that the legislature
intends to do something this session. The
