"However, being a woman, I do want ono last word. One of the interpretations I received from a member of ONE as to the purpose of these sessions was that which appeared in the program 'A Group Participation Project in Homophile Education' nothing more. I would suggest that rather it should be called 'A Group Participation Project in Contradiction, Confusion and Organized Deliberate Deception!. Talk about entrapment. We've been had!"

Ho indicated that perhaps the positi ons of the three organizations had changed some what, with ONE at one end, DOB at the other and Mattachine in the middle as a balancing factor. He did incline towards the thought that the topic of the weekend's discussion was certainly a negative public relations topic, but added that even negatives have their positive side.

Call pointed out that semantics proved a great stumbling block. "The topics covered were awe-inspiring" and perhaps those present were afraid of tackling the problem. However, significant work was done, even though the group did not come up with a "Bill of Rights" "Do we have a right to ask for rights?" he inquired, and if so, should not we ask carefully and dispassionately, requesting no special license. Obviously the people present at ONE Instituto had asked no special license.

"We need people of courage and good and ask for our rights," he said. to special pleading although we have not asked for it. All in all, he concluded, the topic was quite a "hot ball of fire".

Legg, before introducing the next commentator, asked if the group was afraid to think of it self as entitled to special pleading. He then introduced a prominent Los Angeles attorney, who had not attended any of the previ ous work sessions.
