CHAIRMAN AHEARNE:
Shall we call a short-notice 3
meeting?
4 COMMISSIONER GILINSKY:
Let's call a short-notice i
5 meeting just to get informed on the status of the report.
6 COMMISSIONER BRADFORD: If there are any problems f
7 on that I'll be glad to leave the room.
l l
8 COMMISSIONER GILINSKY: I am appalled that it is 9
printed and we dod t have it.
10 CHAIRMAN AHEARNE:
All in favor of a short-l i'
notice meeting, please say aye.
12 COMMISSIONER BRADFORD:
Aye.
13 COMMISSIONER GILINSKY:
Aye.
i 14 CHAIRMAN AHEARNE: The majority of the Commission l
15 wishes a short-notice meeting to discuss the status of 16 the Rogovin Report.
17 Mr. Bickwit?
i 18 MR. BICKWIT:
All I can tell you is that it is, 19 in fact, printed, that it hasn' t been distributed, to my 20 knowledge.
21 But, I *. low of some outside the Commission who 22 have seen it.

COMMISSIONER BRA 0 FORD:
Seen but not read.
2 MR. BIChWIT:
Leafed through.
3 COMMISSIONER GILINSKY:
Does that mean it has been 4
distributed?
5 MR. BICKWIT:
No, it does no t mean that.
It o
hasn't been distributed, to my knowledge.
7 CHAIRMAN AHEARNE:
I thought we had an agreement o
t ha t the copies would be put under lock and key or some y
similar control mechanism?
10 MR. BICKWIT:
The idea was tha t they would be held 11 securely.
I'm uncomfortable because I have -- I simply have 12 one account of someone having leaf ed through it.
I don't 13 know what " leaf through" means.
14 CHAIRMAN AHEAhNE:
All right.
Are there any other
(
15 questions -
- 11 right, we'll try, then, to set up the lo meeting of tha planning sessior, naxt week so that we can 17 hopefully mak e progre ss through this.
18 MR. HANRAHAN:
Wotid it be acceptable if we just 19 circulate it to the commissioners, the recast of the poli cy 20 section, rather than taking it up de novo again?
But just 21 circulating that around f or your a pproval ?
Then we can just 22 begin at thc planning section?
23 Ci" AIRMAN AHEARNE:
I would hope so.
24 COMMISSIONER GILINSKY:
Let me ask you another 25 question about this re port.
What agracment was fina!1y made
5 253 Od 02 kapMM i
about wnen the press gets it and when the Congre ss ge ts it?
2 MR. BICKWIT:
The press and the Congress would 3
nave it aistributed to them the af ternoon bef ore the meeting 4
on the subject under an embargo.
5 COMMISSIONER GILINSKY:
What does that mean?
W ha t o
time is the meeting?
7 MR. BICKWIT:
The meeting would be at 1:30 on 6
Thursaay.
The distribution under the embargo would be at 9
3:00 to 5:00 o' clock -- 3 :00 to 6:00 on Wednesday.
10 MR. FOUCHARD:
3:00 to 6:00 on Wednesday ll af ternoon, and then again the following morning.
All on an 12 embargo basis.
This gives them a chance to read it rather 13 than throwing a 300-page document down at them at the 14 meeting.
Now, presumably, you know, some early stories, the
(
15 1830 mee ting -- the 1:30 embargo might move.
!6 But Just on the basis of the report itself, it 17 could not be used before 1 30 unle ss somebody gets a copy le f rom another source.
I think we all witnessed what happened 19 to the National Academy report last week.
The story in the 20 Sunday New York Times and the Monday Washington Post 21 diame trically opposite.
22 MR. BICKWIT Than there's no problem.
23 CHAIRMAN AHEARNE:
Opposite pa ragra phs.
Any other 24 questions?
25 (No response.)
