This was at the L.A. Center, which at the time cohabitated with National in Pacific Palisades. It was just a group of TM teachers who got together monthly or so to pass judgment (literally) on those who wanted to go to courses. Longer residence courses, TTC, and ATR. They had the authority to make or not make the recommendation that would get the person on the course or prevent them from attending. What is the saying?
