Mr. MARCHISHIN: Yes. I’m sorry.
Dr. WERES: Point of information regarding Mr. Fedorak’s memorandum. I have here Myron Dolors Execution by Hunger, and this is entered under Library of Con¬gress categories Ukraine, Sab, Famines, Collectivization of Agriculture, Sub, Ukraine, Soviet Union, Sub, Economic Policy. So those categories apparently exist already.

Dear Commissioners and Staff:

I am looking forward to working with you as a public member of the Ukrainian Famine Commission.

For our first meeting I am sharing with you my ideas regarding the agenda of our Commission.
1. The Commission should utilize its subpoena powers and develop as much infor¬mation regarding the United States diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union in 1933 in view of the existence of the Soviet perpetrated genocidal famine in Ukraine at that time.
2. A program must solicit the testimony of as many of the survivors of the Famine as possible.
3. The archives in Europe including France, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, the Vatican and the Patriarchate of Constantinople should be researched.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Okay. As far as my memorandum, I think all of the points that I raised in my short memorandum were covered by earlier discussions and the general memorandum prepared by the staff. So I would waive any further presenta¬tion of my memorandum.
Okay. Is there any other business that we should discuss at this time?
Yes, Myron.
Dr. KUROPAS: Well, I can understand that it’s important to meet in Washington. Is there any rule that says that the Commission can’t meet as a commission outside of Washington?
I believe, the Washington press very often is so inundated with important items that it probably won’t report on our meeting. I think if we meet in a town such as Detroit Or Chicago there is greater likelihood that our meeting might be picked up by the press.
