"we can see a little more clearly as to the best lines of practical procedure. We'
- want to be sure that all of our committeesl are not only necessary, but are strictly" "I' working committees, and it may be desirable for simplification of ~our 'work to 1-
make"some' consolidation and reorganizations .. For example, Colonel Brown, the"
Chairman of the Committee on Military Training, has been .called fror,n the state, "~
and it occurs to me that this committee might be combined with the, Committee on-1'
Public Defense and Security, of which John C. Greenway is chairman., ~- ,
. The committees on Transportation, and Highways and'Routes of Travel, seem" '
essential, and, are doing practical work. /., " ' . ,,',' - ' , ,
