The Committee also recommends that copies of the correspondence from the field service representatives to the governors and district New Club Building Chairmen be sent to the District Councilor to give him a better understanding of the situation.

The bottom line, or the excess of income over expenses, totaled $341,417, ahead of eight-month projections. Preliminary year-end profit projections look very good at this stage, especially given the favorable showing of the convention business, and the year-end can now be expected to finish higher than budgeted. On this basis, the committee believes that the cost of sending board advisers to the remaining overseas district conventions can be justified in the 1978-79 administrative year.
The committee recommends approval of the 1979-80 budget as presented, calling for a surplus of income and surplus carry forward of expenditures of $75,136.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF PAST PRESIDENTS
He noted that the county governors are in favor of the proposed increase but we cannot afford to be complacent. He expressed his admiration for the work of the Special Committee on Kiwanis International Structure, chaired by Past President Moler, and told the committee that a special meeting of the International Committee was scheduled for the 1979 Council meeting to discuss the recommendations of the Special Committee. Some committee members also commented that the International President speaks for the entire organization and the entire committee, while individual members may express personal opinions that do not accurately represent the policies of the committee.
The President-elect told the committee that he believes all Kiwanis districts should be treated equally and that he plans to send International Council members to overseas districts as official representatives. President-elect Mark noted that Council trips to overseas districts will enhance the Council's general knowledge and help it better manage its affairs. Former President Moler, chairman of the Special Committee on the International Structure of Kiwanis, discussed that committee's recommendations made to the Committee of Past Presidents prior to this meeting.
Past President Tully told the Committee that while he supported the general plan presented by the Special Committee, he was not in favor of the Special Committee's suggestion that the Treasurer through the. He also noted that he questions the merits of the Special Committee's proposal that the Immediate Past President no longer serve on the International Council as a voting, participating member. He noted that the Treasurer may be elected by the Board from among its own members and may also serve as the Chairman of the Board Committee on Finance, but that these details are best decided by the International Board.
Committee members expressed the opinion that the experience of the immediate past President was an asset to the International Board and that the organization makes a great investment in its presidents. The Committee recommends that the Immediate Past President be retained on the International Board as an officer.
