No, because there wasn't just one—the article describes all such committees, and so the capitalization that would be used in referring to a specific one is not appropriate for the title. Postdlf 21:16, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

There WAS a "specific" Committee: the Continental Congressional one (Which was an intelligence committee), so that can go there, and the more general ones can stay here. 68.39.174.39 22:10, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

But the fact is it's a general term by which a series of them were known—they were all intelligence committees and they were all called committees of correspondence, and were probably all designated in capital letters during their time (of course, early American English capitalized seemed to capitalize just about everything in formal writing). But feel free to expand the mention of the Continental Congress committee in this article. Postdlf 02:04, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article Sources

I came across a page, http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h675.html, that reads remarkably similar to this article. Either that page used this article, or this article used that page. Should it be cited? --Bsdlogical 00:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
