<br />
<br />In addition to the powers and duties hereinbefore
<br />specifically conferred upon such Commission, and the members
<br />thereof, the jurisdiction of such Commission shall extend
<br />only to the collection, correlation and presentation of
<br />factual data and the maintenance of records having a
<br />bearing upon the administration of this Compact, and,by

<br />tration of this Compact. In connection therewith, the

<br />mous action, adopt rules and regulations consistent with
<br />theOprovisions of this Compact to govern their proceedings.
<br />
<br />The findings of the Commission shall not be conclusive
<br />in any court or tribunal which may be called upon to inter-
<br />pret or enforce this Compact.

<br />not substantive in character and which do not affect the
<br />basic principles upon which the Compact is founded, and
<br />shall meet for the consideration of such questions on the
<br />request of any member of the Commission; provided, however,
<br />that the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and
<br />effect until changed and amended within the intent of the
<br />Compact by unanimous action of the Commissioners, and until
<br />any changes in this Compact are ratified by the legislatures
<br />of the respective states and consented to by the Congress,
<br />in the same manner as this Compact is required to be
<br />ratified to become effective.
<br />
