Can I get that LOR from anybody or does it need to come from that comittee...
College that has a pre-medical program has a committee that reviews their students to see if they are quality for medical school.
My school has one where I submitted a file that includes my autobiography, 3 LORs, records of my extra-curriculum/researches/publications...
Most of my classmates who got into U.S med schools have had an interview in front of the committee...Thus they all have THE COMMITTEE RECOMENDATION... (and probably worth as gold)

Anyway, I've forgone this option, which was stupid, but they did sent out my file with a letter stated that they did not review me and such...
Hope that answers your question and good luck.
