Dr. MACE: If I may comment, there is certainly no legal prohibition on this Com¬mission’s meeting in any place it so desires, and it specifically calls for hearings being held outside of Washington. Rather, the by-laws specifically call for that

I wish only to caution Dr. Kuropas that it may be rather difficult to get particularly the congressional members and members from the executive branch together for a meeting of the full Commission outside of Washington, D.C.

Ms. MAZURKEVICH: This is another point. Before we adjourn, can this Commission write a letter to Public Broadcasting about the Harvest of Despair because our station in Philadelphia, when we talked to them and when we showed them the film, they were quite interested and impressed, and they were going to show it on television, and then they contacted the Washington office, the national office, to try to urge them to show it nationally rather than just locally, and maybe at this time we should issue a letter to PBS urging them to televise Harvest of Despair nationally.

Mr. MARCHISHIN: Okay. Would you have anything to mention on that, Dr. Mace?
I think we discussed earlier in the agenda an effort of public relations on behalf of the Commission, and I think this is a very worthwhile area that the public relations ef¬fort should be exercised as much as possible.
Dr. MACE: Would the chair entertain a motion directing Mrs. Mazurkevich to draft such a letter on behalf of the Commission?
Mr. MARCHISHIN: So moved?
From the FLOOR: Seconded.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Seconded.
All in favor of the motion?
(Chorus of ayes)
Opposed?
(No response)
The motion is passed and, Mrs. Mazurkevich, you have your first assignment.
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: I wasn’t asking for the assignment.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Well, this is a working commission. So that’s what happens when you make suggestions like that
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: Oh, that’s right. We don’t have stationery.
Dr. MACE: It will be ordered.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: There is stationery that is being ordered.
Dr. MACE: Calling cards and I.D.s, the I.D.s you’ll have to get from the General Services Administration. If you have time after the meeting, we’ll call over there and see if we can get you I.D. photographs.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Okay. Is there any other business that has come up?
Dr. KUROPAS: There is no prohibition for the public members to meet separately, even if unofficially? I think it would be well for us, since we’re here, to spend a few minutes talking about the fund-raising possibilities along with staff members after the official business is over.
Dr. WERES: Mr. Chairman.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Yes.
Dr. WERES: One issue I’d like to discuss a little bit further is guidelines, possibilities for public hearings in places other than Washington, like how would those be
