Three consultative committees
would be provided to work with
the commission.
One would be a military liaison
committee which could appeal to
the President through the war
and Navy secretaries.
A second advisory group would
be composed of nine scientific and
technical experts. and the third
would be a joint congressional COM
mittee Of nine senators and nine
House members.
The measure would set up strin-
gent controls to make sure that
no one gets material or facilities
for making an atom bomb. The
commission could distribute fis-

The Polish charges and a subse-

suggesting that there were facili-
ties In Spain where German scien-
