Panel on Constitution to Hold Talks in Private
The President’s Commission on the Bicentennial of the Constitution has decided that its discussions on how best to educate the public about the document will be held in private, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The first meeting of the commission, held July 29-30 at the Supreme Court, was closed to the public and a second meeting, scheduled for today in Salt Lake City, will also be closed, she said.
The major goal of the commission, created by an act of Congress with a $300,000 appropriation, is to inform the public about the Constitution and its importance in securing basic freedoms.
