This committee, consisting of Samuel Bent, Daniel Spencer, and John S. Fullmer, had been appointed at the meeting on 11 April, perhaps as a subcommittee of the committee on foreign relations. Spencer recorded meeting with the committee on foreign relations on 12 April; he also met with Fullmer the morning of this council meeting. (Council of Fifty, “Record,” 11 Apr. 1845; Spencer, Diary, 12 and 15 Apr. 1845.)
