Whereas	The chair of the committee gives the committee report at the general meeting; and
Whereas	He/she may be biased and/or forgetful and may present only part of the evidence and opinion; and
Whereas	Opinion of committee members may carry more weight than regular members, because they were at committee meetings where the evidence was discussed in detail; and
Whereas	Present committee reports are supposed to show both the cons and pros equally; and
Whereas	Student Congress' duty is to hear all sides before determining judgement; and
Whereas	The President of the University should hear both sides of the issue before judging whether to veto or not. Neither opinions are written down.
