approved as distributed.
241. Additional Information Requested by Nominating Committee (Ag. 1151): This item had been held
over from the previous meeting (see Min. 193). Since no additional request or notification had come from

made as indicated on the copy attached to the minutes, the Commission resolved to submit this report to
the Dallas convention.
