Ulrich is energetically attempting to complete Skehan’s work. Interestingly enough, Ulrich is not sure whether he is a member of the international committee. When asked whether he is now a member of the committee, he replied, “That’s a good question. I would say yes, I am. I’m presuming I am.” He has never seen any rules of the committee and doesn’t know if there are any. He has never participated in any committee decision. On the other hand, he is now free to reassign publication rights to his own students.

Allegro himself has frequently chided his colleagues on the international committee for their delays. In 1984, Allegro commented:

“I am still the only member of that original team to have published all of his section of the work in definitive form (1968). … Despite all the impatient mummurings of fellow-academics over the years, my colleagues have managed to retain their exclusive control over these important manuscripts.” (The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth [First American Editions, 1984], p. 6.)

This appears to be the case also with respect to some of the scroll materials referred to in the previous footnote.

Publication of Dead Sea Scroll materials is under the jurisdiction of other committees as well, which to some extent, operate in the same way.
