The High Powered Committee's decision was invalid because it ignored adverse material, including a pending criminal case and prior departmental notings, so the recommendation was non-est in law and the appointment could not stand. The statutory scheme did not require unanimity; majority decision was sufficient because no veto was created and vacancy did not invalidate the process.
