RESOLUTION 6-55

Wuereas, The limitations of time have prevented
Floor Committee 6 from coming to definite conclusions
and presenting its findings on every recommendation
submitted by the Survey Commission; and

all items which it has not been able to handle should
be referred to those officials, boards, committees, or
agencies of the Synod which are best able to give
further consideration to these matters; therefore be it

Resolved, That all matters contained in the report

upon by this convention be referred for further study;

where the relief help annually given at incredibly low
costs exceeds $4,000,000.00 in actual value; and
