Adam Schiff said "I want to say I will be glad to look at the gentleman's working. I have not seen it yet, but I just want to back up the gentleman's point about the composition of the Commission. Of the 26 members of the Commission, Mr. Chairman, 20 are appointed by the President of the United States, and the existing law requires that three be private citizens without any connection to the Government. So I think the concern the gentleman is addressing in terms of the composition I believe is already found in the existing Commission in the amendment I have offered, and I thank the gentleman for his support." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
