A meeting of the International Board of Trustees was held at the General Office in Chicago, February. That the appointment of the President of the General Convention shall be subject to confirmation by the International Board. In the broad field of peacekeeping, I kept thinking about the reactions I faced in Europe.
District bulletins and copies of letters from and to district chairmen are available to the International Committee. Perhaps a quarterly report can make the district chairpersons feel more important to the success of the program. This resulted in the Chairman of the International Committee skipping a contact line to go directly to the District Officers.
A large number of the district chairmen have shown extraordinary ability and vigilance in promoting the programme. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the delegates to the 48th Annual Convention of the Illinois-East Iowa District of Kiwanis International that:. REPORT OF THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATION AND STRUCTURE TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
BUILDING OPERATION
This operating cost would have been materially reduced had we not been involved in repairs to the boiler and air conditioning unit which totaled approximately $3,100.00. The office manager was asked to obtain a cost survey of standby heating and air conditioning equipment. In view of the fact that we have already approved at our last meeting an item of $4,900.00 for additional air conditioning equipment for the Data Processing Department, which by the way, is on temporary hold pending the results that can be obtained from the installation of Second windows, we only report on standby heating equipment.
The last payment on the badge in front of the building was made in January.
SUPPLIES OPERATION
The fact that the chairs in the Patio Room are fast approaching obsolescence, the committee proposes that new chairs be purchased from Division C-12a (Provision for Equipment). A test chair that appeared to be perfectly adequate was shown to the committee and was approved. An amount, not to be exceeded, is provided for the purchase and installation of stand-by heating equipment as recommended by the engineers.

The Key Club International Board meeting went smoothly and everyone had the opportunity to express their thoughts on the topics discussed. The primary task was the selection of a theme and objectives for 1966-1967, and the manner in which these young men participated in this discussion and the clarity of their presentations would have done credit to any leadership group. Their enthusiasm and directness of thinking produced a set of objectives and a theme that I believe are excellent and will be well accepted.
The keen interest of the members was unusual and their personal interest in reports such as "The National Junior Achievement Conference". 34;The Report on the Youth Conference on Birth Defects" and President Don's report on the Kiwanis International Convention and Council Meetings were something to see. They want to be sure that in the coming years there is no conflict with the International Convention, even if it means that they hold theirs according to the Kiwanis convention.
You will all have received the official minutes and reports on this meeting and I urge you to read them; they are very enlightening and will make you proud to be a part of this great youth organization.

EVJ\WATION OF DISTRICT CHAIRMEN'S TRAINIOO CONFERENCE
That page 96 of the International Expansion Policy has a new title: "II,D", which reads: "Organization and Administration of Kiwanis Federations" and that the current material under II, D is deleted and replaced in its place adds the material adopted by the International Council in October 1965, including Appendices A, B, C, and D. I move that Recommendation 4 be adopted. The Committee understands the concerns of the California-Nevada-Hawaii District Administration regarding the importance of the presence of appropriate club officials at training conferences for division leaders.
That the draft amendments to be proposed to the delegate body to the Portland Convention be approved as attached Annexes A and B. The Committee has reviewed a detailed report by Baker, McKenzie and Hightower setting out the new steps taken in the process should be taken of protecting the name and emblem. The committee also received a report from Baker, McKenzie and Hightower on the status of the registration of the name and emblem in Switzerland.
Your Committee considered this matter thoroughly, fully realizing that Article XVII of the International Constitution does not specifically define the sources of the proposed amendments. The Committee also understands that the issue of tabling an amendment, although important, is not as vexing as the issue of delegated action. The Committee also recognizes that the International Constitution provides in Article VIII, Section 3, that "the construction and interpretation of the Constitution and by-laws by the Board of Trustees shall be final and binding, unless such construction and interpretation by the Board of Trustees is overruled at a subsequent Kiwanis International convention.
That it is the consensus of the Kiwanis International Board of Directors that districts have the right to submit changes to be proposed to the delegate body at an international convention. These contributions are based on the membership of the respective clubs, as reflected in their semi-annual reports to Kiwanis International as of December 31 and June 30. These contributions are based on the membership of the respective clubs, as reflected in their semi-annual reports to Kiwanis International dated December 31 and June 30.
Submitted by the Kiwanis International Board of Directors at the request of the following sponsoring districts: (list). On the other side of the ledger, our total current liabilities of $227,125 have increased by approximately $36,000. Of the $10,800 surplus for the year, approximately $9,000 represented income in the Funded Reserve, and this too was transferred to the reserve account.
The Finance Committee reviewed the latest statement of income and expenditure submitted to us from the Pacific Northwest District regarding the grant to the Alaska-Yukon Division. We agree that again in 1966 we should make a grant of $2,000 to the Pacific Northwest District for this expense. Action was taken at this time as the committee is aware of the possibility of using a special representative in the Field Service Department to help cover the A-Y Division. The recommendation from the board's administration committee regarding travel accident insurance for the international board was reviewed by this committee.
After some adjustments to the editorial content, the Finance Committee found this report to be in order and approved it. The Commission believes that the employment of a field service technician, who will provide much-needed assistance in the field and spend valuable time in the General Office, is necessary. The committee discussed the format of the annual financial report to be sent to all clubs by May 1 each year.
We feel that last year's booklet was an excellent publication and recommend that a similar format be considered for 1965. Each year the Board asks the Board of Directors to approve a new bank account for the convention fee. The Finance Committee was asked to authorize a legal entity in the amount of $1,000 per year to use the services of the law firm of Ryan and Brill.
The Committee reviewed the financial policy regarding Board travel outside the United States and Canada. We are of the opinion that all expenses related to travel outside the United States and Canada should be charged to the International Extension account and that the woman's travel should be paid for when the meeting requires her to be present. The Committee considered the recommendation from Secretary Peterson and the Board's Committee on Administration regarding the conversion of the Bureau of Accounts Department to an IBM 6400 System.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends that Secretary Peterson be authorized to enter into a contract with the IBM Corporation so that we may facilitate the 6400 system in both the Supplies and Bureau of Accounts departments at an additional monthly cost for the first three months of the conversion of _a .ppr. approximately $670 and that this additional monthly cost is then reduced to $130 per month. The write-off of the receivables listed in the body of this report totaling $126.45 is made. :-'. the Secretary be authorized to contract with the Kemper Insurance Company for the travel accident insurance to be carried by the American Motorists Insurance CompanyG.
