Sometimes research requires effort.

OK. How much effort would it take - on your part - to say something about your own motivations for posting this forty-year-old document here. I'm sure it would be easier for you to do this than it would be for me to figure out what you are getting at.

Do you think it would be a good idea for the American Bar Association to convene a Constitutional Convention? Does that sound like something that would be helpful?

Do you wish to alert us to the fact that the Members of the "House of Delegates" of the ABA were thinking about such an undertaking, more than forty years ago?

Back in 1970, momentum was building for the passage of the ERA, or "Equal Rights Amendment" to the Constitution. I suspect that this analysis by the ABA had something to do with that effort, which (as you probably recall) sputtered on into the early '80s. Does the ERA dynamic have something to do with your thinking here?

Perhaps you just like to puzzle and mystify. That's fine, of course.

Thanks for posting the clarity on the Art V issue; while it can lead to a convention for a new Constitution, it need not do any more than propose amendments to the Constitution thus by-passing Washington.

It would be up to the participants to make sure the scope of the convention remained limited to specific amendments.

This is why attendance by concerned citizens is important!
