      <div> </div>
      <div>I had thought the purpose of the committee was, broadly, to
        find out how we could boost our image through the modification
        of wording and phraseology. As part of that, they would solicit
        bids from political image consultants to determine a cost of
        having them given their recommendations.  I remember that during
        discussion there was talk of not having to accept the bids, or
        only accepting portions of bids, and that some work could be
        possibly done internally.  The LNC would still have to approve
        any spending in that regard. And in my mind, I assumed that any
        recommendations, whether from paid or unpaid sources, would have
        to be run through APRC or the entire LNC prior to
        implementation. </div>
      <div> </div>
      <div>I think clarification regarding the scope of this committee
        would be a good idea. I am personally in favor of a committee
        that works to fine-tune our messaging; that makes suggestions on
        using words and phrases that soothe, rather than scare, the
        public. These would be recommendations presented to the APRC
        and/or the LNC, and not implemented officially until approve is
        given from one or both of those. </div>
      <div> </div>
      <div>I have no doubt that <span>Messrs </span>Demerest, Sharpe,
        Somes have the very best intentions in mind, and I just want to
        be sure that everyone agrees to the scope NOW so there are no
        hurt feelings later.</div>
