14. REFERENCE RESOLUTIONS

(Floor committees availed themselves of the opportunity to refer petitioners to certain
boards and commissions before bringing their concerns to a convention of the Synod
[Resolution A] or to refer them to actions alread 'y taken by previous conventions{ Resolution B].

Both of these composite resolutions were con.

sidered by the convention as part of the agenda-

setting process. At that time the convention had the opportunity of amending both resolutions
by referring specific items back to a floor committee for their further consideration.)
