As soon as the show got on the road, Luhnow moved with alacrity to further assert his prerogatives over the Free Market Study by inserting some of his deputies into the process. After acceptance by Director and the official concurrence by the Chicago administration, Luhnow wrote Hayek: "We presume that the large Advisory Committee will be set up rather promptly and we believe that it should be well thought out and I would like to ask that Leonard B. Read and Loren B. Miller be included on this Advisory Committee." Luhnow also mandated that "the suggested Advisory Committee be submitted to Loren Miller for his examination before it is actually announced." Luhnow thus ensured that men conforming to the Volker Fund's political philosophy would oversee the progress of the Free Market Study project, even from its outset. Hayek had no option but to agree.
