That's not the correlation committee. What it sounds like is that he was on the committee that wrote the Gospel Doctrine (i.e., Sunday School) manuals.

This is also what President McKay thought when Harold B. Lee originally proposed the idea, referring to it sacrastically as "Lee's super-priesthood correlation committee."
President McKay was percipient enough to recognize the correlation committee would ultimately become more powerful than the apostles, but he hadn't the strength of will to thwart it.
He even said it sounded like the way the great apostasy happened . . .
All the Best!

If he could see what has happened to the church since correlation, I'm sure he would weep.
