           COMMENTS  

           Author's purpose  :  According to the author, the California 
          Commission on Industrial Innovation was created by Executive 
          Order in 1981 (B-91-81) and made permanent in statute in 1982.  
          The author states the Commission was envisioned to recommend 
          effective and aggressive strategies for expanding the state's 
          economy and employment rate.  The author argues the Commission 
          no longer exists and its proposed activities are supported by 
          other divisions of government, including the Governor's Office 
          of Economic Development.
