(DOC and Aides Conference) these fail by misuse. They are bodies to approve or modify prepared CSW of members for passing by higher authority. They are not planning bodies which originate. It can approve, reject or modify. Its individual members prepare CSW for the committee before its meeting. Authority senior to the committee is then assisted. The whole upset with committees is they are used wrongly. They are not there to plan. They are there as individuals to be informed and have a say in modifying or approving or rejecting material drawn up before. This is also true of the Aides Conference, FOs and PLs sent direct to me, for instance, is a committee or conference by-pass. These deny information and a say to all the other aides. Also I often have to submit them back to other individual aides to see if it is all right-a function of the Aides Conference. (FO 2653)
