Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much. I appreciate the comments of all. Because we don't have a steering committee, which would normally operate in camera and allow us to deal with committee business, my argument is that if we're going to act as we are, as a steering committee of the whole, the

Declaration of Emergency committee  I am.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I move that the next meeting, April 5, be held in camera for its entirety.
