KEY TO THE NUMBERS

The reports and overtures to be presented to the convention have been divided into 8
groups and assigned to floor committees which bear the numbers given above. Each report
or overture is numbered. Not all numbers have been used; sometimes gaps have been
introduced intentionally in order to divide major categories. At other times similar documents
have been given a lettered suffix (A, B, etc.).

lf you have been appointed to one of the floor committees, it is important that you study
thoroughly in advance the reports and overtures assigned to your committee.
