Letter of transmittal to the members of the special committee of the advisers. Nov. 19, 1943. [1] (1943)

handle is hein.ali/hrbor605432 and id is 1 raw text is: November 19, 1943 Letter of Transmittal To the Members of the Special Committee of the Advisers: I enclose (1) a preliminery drrft of whrt I h~ave entitled a Declara- tion of Fundamental Individual Rights end (2) a suggested preliminary draft of a report to the Council of the Institute. in doing this I heave tried to fulfill the promise I mede to the October meeting of your Committee. You vdll note that I have not given in the Comment eny -rgument for the inclusion of the Article 's an essentiel right. I did this because I felt that the mjority of your members desired that the Comment should be short end non-argumentative. In the suggested preliminary draft of a report which Might go from the Advisers to the Council of the Institute I have introduced argumentative metter taken from longer zrgumentative metter submitted by several of your members. is to the comments submitted, you ill find that the comments which I have rewritten end condensed relate to the articles subsequent to Article 9. 1 regret that it was not possible for me in view of the limitations of time to do the necessary polishing of the languge in these comments. I em in hopes, however, that what I have done i,'ll enable you to pass finally on U questions of the form of the comments end also take steps to improve the text. The work has necessitated my close study of the !inutes of your October meeting' I am irpressed with the fact that all of us should recognize .the dis- couragement whicn wll result if a reargument of all tbe metters argued at your two prior meetir.gs would take place. Such a procedure would, I fear, tend to end any reasonable prospect of completing this Institute Projejct witbin the funds now available or at a time sufficiently before the cessation of hostilities with Germany to secure for the conclusions reached such adequate public discussion
