studying the famine in Ukraine. So I just wanted to make that point I’m sure this Isn’t intended to be an exhaustive list
Dr. MACE: By no means.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: And as many people as we can get in, I’m sure that we wel¬come them.
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: What is this fourth point, “each member of the Commission may appoint up to three advisors”? What is that supposed to be?
Dr. KUROPAS: I just want to get back to this one point.
Dr. MACE: Sure.
Dr. KUROPAS: On the scholars, it does not preclude any member of the Commis¬sion being engaged in scholarly research.
Dr. MACE: In no sense. In fact, I can speak for the Chairman in saying that we are looking forward to those members of the Commission who would like to make a scholarly contribution. Certainly there are members of the Commission who are qualified to do so. We would look forward to that, and this in no way precludes that.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Okay. Mrs. Mazurkevich.
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: What is the fourth paragraph? “Each member of the Com¬mission may appoint up to three advisors.”
Dr. MACE: Some of the congressional members of the Commission felt that it might be useful to them under some circumstances, that they may wish to appoint on a voluntary basis persons from the Ukrainian community to help keep them abreast of the Commission’s work.
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: Can you expound on that? What are they supposed to do?
Dr. MACE: That would be up to the Commission member. It’s strictly on a volun¬tary basis. They’ll have access to the staff. In other ways, they will have the same rights as the general public.
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: But they haven’t actually been sought out yet?
Dr. MACE: I would have to defer to the members of the Commission who sug¬gested this, and the congressional members aren’t present at this time.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Since it’s written that all Commission members could do this, theoretically the public members could do the same thing, that they could appoint members of the Ukrainian community that they see fit to help them to carry out their responsibilities and advise them.
Dr. MACE: Each member of the Commission certainly may do so. We’re not going to compensate these people, but yes, every Commissioner, including public Com¬missioners, have the right to appoint up to three advisors according to this provision.
Is there any objection or comment on this? Three people simply voluntarily advis¬ing members of the Commission.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: I just want to get more clarification myself. I’m glad that Ulana brought it up.
Are there any other questions on Article IV of the by-laws? (No response) Shall we continue? Yes.
