Washington AP reports Democratic leaders backed a reform commission to ensure minority, women, and youth representation in the 1972 convention. The panel, led by Senator George McGovern, delayed quotas until 1976 but urged future efforts to require minority groups. Voting 10 to 9, the commission also proposed similar requirements for women and young people in delegations and set guidelines for a reasonable relationship to state delegations.
