Although I had thought that I came at the hour they were to begin their meeting, they had already begun. I don't know how long they'd been in session.

Anyway, I went in. Mr. Tugwell introduced me to various people, though not to everybody, and I sat down. I remember being surprised at so large a number of people being able to keep it a secret, because there were six or seven people, whom I would have recognized as being the principal members of a committee, sitting around the table, and then there were some other people sitting off in the outskirts, obviously assistants helping out on a particular matter. They were people on which some individual in the committee relied on.

As a matter of fact, the only people that at this date I see clearly in my memory as being there are Tugwell and Hugh Johnson. I see others, but I don't recognize them.
