The CHAIRMAN. We would like to welcome those of the incorporators who are present here today. It is understood that several of them are unavoidably absent due to previous commitments. I want to say the incorporators were told if it was inconvenient to be here they were not required to be here at all. I would not want someone to think they just simply ignored the committee. They have made one appearance, before the Commerce Committee, and we didn't want to inconvenience them unduly. So all we did was to invite them and hoped that they would be here. It is my understanding Mr. Bruce Sundlun is representing the incorporators as the spokesman for the group. Before he starts, I will recognize the Senator from California for his statement. STATEMENT OF HON. CLAIR ENGLE, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Senator ENGLE. Mr. Chairman, my statement will be very brief because I previously expressed my support of the appointees from California. I want to express my appreciation in being permitted to appear in behalf of Edgar F. Kaiser, George L. Killion, and Dr. Charyk. |
