CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS 437

Higher Education, will be responsible to the Board of Directors
for ordering out the various items of the budget.

- HL That the executive secretaries in each major department
bring their suggestions to their own boards and serve as informa-
tion sources for the committee of the Beard of Directors.

This plan offers a better balanced authority in the Board of
Directors, because it is an authority based on more exact informa-
tion, and it gives to each department voting power on the Board
of Directors, This plan gives to each department an avenue to the
Board of Directors that it has never had before and thus will
help co-ordinate its work with that of the other departments.
It makes possible real co-ordination.

Committee 6 reported: ,

After thorough consideration of this overture, your committee
expresses itself in unanimous favor of this proposal to effect
a closer co-ordination of the work of our various boards and
committees. However, as a number of points need further clari-
fication for the successful execution of this plan, your Committee
herewith proposes that this memorial be referred to the Fiscal
Conference for additional study and clarification, and that this
proposal be presented in one of the first sessions of our next con-
vention; so that, if favorably acted on, the provisions of this pro-
posal can be put into immediate effect at our next convention.

ACTION

Synod adopted this proposal, with the amendment that the
matter be referred to a committee to be appointed by the
Praesidium.
