RICH OPEN COMMITTEE MEETINGS Monday, July 12, 1971 Monday was set aside for meetings of the Conference committees. Notices of these meetings were carried in the Conference Announcement booklet, in all pre-Conference publicity, and in the printed Conference program. The Conference committees that met on Monday were the Executive Committee, the Committee on Education, the Committee on Specifications and Tolerances, the Committee on Liaison with the National Government, and the Committee on Laws and Regulations. Many delegates participated in the committee meetings, which were very well attended and informative to all. The discussions which took place in these meetings were particularly helpful to the members of each committee and played an important role in guiding the committees in their deliberation and preparation of their final reports. The final reports of the committees will be found beginning on page 147 and will reflect the discussion that took place during the open meetings and the actions taken by the Conference at the time the final reports were presented to the delegates. |
