The problem we have remains the same. It seems to me that the committee must remain the master of its own destiny. This is a fundamental principle. It could come to pass that the committee, because of some weighty topical issue, might decide that a topic should be dealt with later because there is some urgency. It seems to me that the previous rules helped us have the necessary flexibility. I would not like to see the committee lose that freedom.
