MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Suggestions to Committees Regarding Televised Meetings

1. Block out in advance items to be discussed, such as:

a. What is the situation at present in the Committees'

field of interest?

b. What is wrong with the present situation? Give

practical examples and note violations of basic prin

ciples of government.

c. What are the issues or alternative solutions to be

decided upon? These should be clearly stated without

attempting to reach a Committee decision.

2. Advise the Secretary of the Convention of maps, blackboard, charts,

or other props required for visual presentation of information or ideas.

3. The Televised meeting should be informal. Committees should feel

free to bring in locally available specialists, such as Dr. Moberg of the

University, and to make the meeting a round-table discussion of the respective

Committee's subject. Constitutional Convention Secretariat/9/a November 22, 1955
