"People'naturally have‘ reservations about committing themselves to a new organization. The process takes time and this meeting was the first essential stage in moving things forward." ‘
"No matter how long it takes to get the organizaticn working with full resources, there was a clear oormitment to do as much work \as poss- ible on the cutbacks issue without a structured organizatim in existence right now. We might not see it for another year but- it doesn't mean work won't get dcne," he said.
Since the new organization has no omstituticn, a committee was established to present prcposals to the next meeting.
