Contrary to persistent myths, a committee initially created Cobol in 1959, not one person. This article outlines the creation and mission of the committee that developed the language and a few of the major inputs and influences on Cobol's initial development. This material is based on documents from the 1959 committee work which is in the possession of the author.
