Chairperson of the Commission was Kentucky governor Edward T. Breathitt; its executive director was C. E. Bishop. Commission staff wrote technical papers and filed special reports containing summaries and recommendations based on public hearings conducted in Tucson, Arizona; Memphis, Tennessee; Washington, D.
