> Article X, Section 4 - cannot find provision for a special election;
> Article XII, Section 1(b) - will they refuse monthly per capita payments;
> Article Xil, Section 1(a) - | would like a better explanation on the directory
- could be a problem with the part of the rules that start on page 18;
> Article XII, Section 1(b) - same as above
> Article XIII, Section 2 - violates Rule 30 of the Rules Governing
5 The above highlighted things | found that need to be corrected, also there are a
| few places that the constitution refers to the masculine gender (him/his). | presume the
nen council would want to change those.
: a When referring to the Rules Governing AFL-CIO Local Central Bodies, they use

3 ca the dates of September 21, 1965 and "as amended in February 1987". Should use "as
7% issued through May, 1991 or as they may subsequently be amended," or even better is
| to just state "Rules Governing AFL-CIO Local Central Bodies".

rly If you would like, you can give me a call after you go through this memorandum.
‘- | have enclosed the original of the application.
