I am still wondering: if george Bush supposedly picked the 5 members he wanted on, and Datchell picked the five from the Democrats he wanted on--wasn't there a "sit-Down" to discuss the picks by the two BEFORE the Comm. started this whole thing?

Not really. The president wanted Kissinger to run things/be the commission's chairman.That got scotched pretty quickly by the Dems.
