There was talk of using the the 1st meeting after the convention for
organiazing ie assigning titles and responsibities. An alternative
was suggested that the at-large seats be tiedto specific sub-committe
e functions ie membership, fund-raising etc. Jim L. volunteered to
work on a by-laws amendment to enact this idea.
It was brought to the attn of the committee that the "citizens
Alternative Voice" was looking for a Libertarian speaker for an anti-
