reasonable and some absolute impos-
sibilities.
The Res olution ignores the Senate
altogether, although the Committee
is a Joint Committee OF the Senate
and Assembly. and Mr.. Prudential,
the intIoducer of the Resolution. By
every rule Of parliamentary procedure,
has tie right to be Chairman of the
Joint Committee.
It is evident that some one else is
