Tentative List of Roles

Here is a tentative list of roles for the simulation.  If there are other senators on the committees that you believe should instead be on the roster, I may be able to make revisions.  Also note that we shall fill out the list with volunteers from my parties class and from past simulations.

Start thinking about Claremont friends whom you would like to draft as members of the administration and as hearing witnesses.
