staff recorded is broken down into 32 reference questions and This was the first full year adult books and in junior hours of research It was shortly after when Frank in his office on Par Secretaries Long and Jane had arrived before him and had opened mail and placed a pile of it on his desk In a way the day was unlike many others That was due to the fact Ihc federal Tones were hosting their leadership campaign and because of it many of the standing com mittee meetings had been cancelled Usually on a Thursday there s time for only a quick took at the mail then off to a committee meeting Philbrook sits on three heavy committee External Affairs Health and Welfare and mance all of which host of sub committees With those meetings can idled the ttay found Or in his Tin night before he hid

democracy really works and where our differences arc fought out You have to come out of that with a single voice or it sheer confusion We ve had a problem with leaks As a result a minister who might have something critical he wants to share in confidence may hesitate Keep channels open According to Philbrook the biggest challenge he faces as a relatively new MP is knowing wh it on up here being brutally frank People usually think in terms of coming here and doing something fighting against something wrong or for something that should be done Opening up channels and getting contacts lined up 1st big first step he Dr said he t consider it a conspiracy against backbenchers but rather a constant battle to stay in the game You have to keep a line on what coming up in the house and then everyone has a specialty and you have to be careful not to miss vour chance to speak on it in the House As the House turned its attention to the routine and mundane affairs of govern ing Dr Philbrook vacated his seat in the House to return to his office where he was briefed on a number of messagesone of them an urgent phone call from Hal ton Burlington Julian Heed With those messages dealt with
