ACTION

Committee 12 recommended the following resolution, which

was adopted: Resolution 9

This memorial has to do with the refunding to the congrega-
tions their payments into the Pension Fund in behalf of their
workers.

Concerning the first part of the memorial, your Committee
recommends:

Wuereas, The rules and regulations make no provision for
a refund while the active member and the congregation are still
members of Synod; therefore .

A request under such conditions must be declined; and

Concerning the second part of the memorial we recommend

In the event that both the worker and the congregation resign
from.membership in Synod that it be the policy of the Pension
Fund to refund to the congregation the contributions made in
behalf of only this particular worker with accrued interest.
