This forum OF informal meeting OF
the minds" is expected to continue as
an extra constitutional adjunct Of the
legislative system, because the growth
and development of government shows
just such natural outcropping to meet
needs. 1t was thus that two houses OF
legislation came into existence The
independent of Parliament was fixed
by a London mob.
The integrity Of Judiciary from
executive domination was preserved by
the people holding the power to i'm
| peach. They demanded immunity for
legislators and freedom of the press,
and held them. Thus, the principal
features of all government have grown
up by experience, following the course
of nature.
Fills Distinct Need
And 1t is just along this line that
| the forum has come into operation in
the House to meet distinct need. Due
! to the rapid increase in Federal Gov
ernmental business and the limitations
that are placed on the House regarding
debating, there has grown up a real
need for some agency for deliberative
study, where members of the House
interested in any particular subject can
get together without being hampered by
| strict rules OF procedure and talk il
| over, express their views, argue it out
without witnesses in the galleries
without press correspondents and official
stenographerS to keep a record.
| Members OF the House participating
| in the forum explain that it is per-
/ fectly evident that there comes a time
when elected persons, in the formative
times Of policy, must have a chance u
talk questions over man to man, getting
/ and weighing each others views, that
| each may give the best that is in him
| toward solution of matters of public
| interest. He must have, they saw ar
| opportunity to think out aloud, and Il
match his views with those of his col.
leagues so that they can cooperate fol
the public welfare.
