Commission Question

[FriendofFamily]

During the 1950-60’s era, LE said commission size would vary, but that 9-12 members was possible and sometimes utilized depending upon the situation at hand. For instance, the early 60’s era you speak of was the Gallo-Profaci War era. Ray Patriarca was indeed a Steady commission member. He was integral to negotiations at that time relative to a “peace” settlement between warring factions.(remember Nicky Bianco).

Also, REMEMBER that “automatically” ALL bosses across the country ARE commission members but for functionality and practicality only typically 6-9 actually sat!
-
But as needed any boss could be called upon to execute commission business...... (and for that matter any “amico nostro”!

I thought at any given time there were no more than 9 Commission members.
There was always the New York 5 & Chicago (Who were allied with Genovese)
The other 3 would sometimes rotate? No?
Wasn't Philly in that rotation?

Sam Gianzana represented Chicago while he was boss. Probably Ricca and Accardo before him. But by the mid/late 1960s, Chicago didn´t bother going to Commission meetings although they still had a seat. The arrangement was such that Chicago would go with the majority rule if issues were put to a vote.

I wonder if the situation with the hoffa necesitated everyone meeting? Or if it was just a meeting of the MINES between the west side and the capone mob with a handful of detroit guys in on the caper?

Yeah, the families west of Chicago deferred to the Outfit, and there was obviously some mutual interests in Las Vegas and what not; but I don't think there was ever a Western Commission in the sense of one similar to in New York.
