	Presidential Commission Report on the Challenger Accident
		The mandate of the Commission was to: 1.

		The Commission believes that the severe cold and presence of so much ice on the fixed service structure made it inadvisable to launch on the morning of January 28, and that margins of safety were whittled down too far.

		Finally, the Commission urges the DNC to engage at an early stage with the Republican Party with respect to the 2012 calendar so that the two parties can work together to move the entire process later in the presidential year and to harmonize their calendars.

	Citizens Debate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Citizens' Debate Commission consists of national civic leaders from the left, center and right of the political spectrum who are committed to maximizing voter education.

		Also, the Commission on Presidential Debates's criteria for a "realistic" candidate eliminates strong third party candidates from participating in the debate, even when they have garnered more than 15% of popular support.

		Finally, the statute directed the Commission to recommend special standards or procedures necessary to identify and pay claims for latent illnesses, those health effects that might not become apparent for years but that could be attributed to the nuclear accident.

	Center for Military Readiness +++ Women in Combat
		The fundamental issue before the Commission is whether and in what specific ways the assignment of women to combat would affect the combat capability of the United States to wage war.
		This is why the Commission voted, on two out of three major issues, to maintain the exemption with respect to the assignment of women to close combat in ground troops, combat aviation, amphibious ships and submarines.
		Judging from the experience of other countries and the evidence presented to this Commission, it would be an experiment fraught with immense risks and foreseeable consequences, which is why it is incumbent on the supporters of women in combat to meet a high burden of proof for their case, particularly when lives are at stake.

	Presidential Commission - Time is Running Out
		As early as 1928, the Donoughmore Commission recommended the establishment of Provincial Councils on the ground that it was desirable that a large part of the administrative work of the centre should come into the hands of persons resident in the districts and thus more directly in contact with the needs of the area.
		There has been no shortage of Committees and Commissions, of reports and recommendations, but what appears to have been lacking was the political will to implement that which nobody denies is fair and right.
		The Presidential Commission provides a forum which can be utilized to bring our peoples together, but in the end, everything depends on what the people of Sri Lanka themselves want to do - and time is running out.

		Presidential debates can change the course of elections, but George Farah, executive director of Open Debates, has evidence showing that the debates' rules of order have been hijacked by the two main political parties.
		Open Debates is promoting an alternative Presidential debate sponsor — the nonpartisan Citizens' Debate Commission — comprised of national civic leaders committed to maximizing voter education.
		Instead of engaging in nonpartisan voter education, the CPD executes the joint demands of the Republican and Democratic nominees concerning the presidential debates, and shields the Republican and Democratic nominees from public accountability," said Open Debates Director Farah.
