           TITLE                 CHANGE DUTIES OF THE NATIONAL SECRETARY-TREASURER

                                 Article VI, Section 6 (a)(9) of the National Constitution and Bylaws states “Deliver the Resolutions Package
                               to the Chairmen of the Resolutions Committee and the Committee of 33 not later than 10 November.”, and

                                 Article VIII, Section 15 (b)(8), Resolutions Committee, of the National Constitution and Bylaws states
                               “Provide a copy of each Resolution to the Committee of 33 Chairman for distribution and review of all Reso-
                               lutions, recommending approval or disapproval of each Resolution, and along with the Resolutions Commit-
           WHEREAS             tee's recommendations be presented to the Delegates at the National Convention.”, and

                                 These two paragraphs are in direct conflict, and

                                 It should be the duty only of the Chairman of the Resolutions Committee to make distribution of proposed
                               resolutions to the JAG and Committee of 33 for review and recommendations,

           THEREFORE,            That Article VI, Section 6 (a)(9) be rescinded and all paragraphs thereafter in Section 6(a) be renumbered
           BE IT               accordingly.
