 lced last night.
 The governor has already gone on record in conference, they said. to the effect that he would not necessarily be bound to base his final decision on their report The governor was quoted as saying, however, that he felt sure their report would aid him in making decision, since he had confidence in the men he had selected as his person al representatives.
 No definite course of action has yet been mapped out by the committee, they stated last night. We come as the personal repre- sentatives of the governor" the com mittee declared in joint statement last night. Whatever report we make to the governor is made with his right reserved to disregard it entirely in making his decision.
 We are here with unbiased minds. Our opinions as citizens, if such we had during the strike, have been laid aside. We come to Birmingham with open minds to base our report on the evidence, as brought out and not on any presupposed convictions which we may have had beforehand.
 We want to get all the information we can from both sides, so that our report may be as comprehensive as possible All sessions of the commit tee will be open and the entire pro. cedure public. We. want to hear com plete reports from the authorized rep resentatives of both sides
 Sessions of the committee will be held in the Tutwiler in all likelihood. Location of the meeting place will de- pend on the hearing and the accommo- dations necessary.
