Standing Committees

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or committees:

    I sincerely believe ... that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

    The first thing to do is to form the committees:
    The consultative councils, the standing committees, select committees and sub-committees.
