I would want to have sufficient time to be certain that they are consistent, with the precedents and accurately project My views, and that is why it would help me, and I am sure it 'Would help other members, if possibly we could have by this weekend a draft report, from the committee staff so that we could thereafter prepare any additional views that we might want to file, The CHAIRMAN. The Chair will advise that I think at this time what the Chair has advised with regard to the Matter that we have just considered, I will conclude this committee Meeting at this time and -we will take up such other matters in an appropriate committee meeting where such business will be undertaken. However, I might say that. staff is always available to the members in order that, they may be assisted in the filing of whatever views they May seek to file. Mr. McCLORY.
