tration
and

It

that

accommodation.
With
regard
to
the
programme

the

noted
with
regret
that
the
National
Sections
were
responding
less
and
less
to
requests
for
national
reports
on
the
agenda
subjects.
As
to
the
subjects

requested
to
consult
the

Sections
and
suggest
major
fields
of
interest.
After
having
examined
the
additional
report
of
the
Ad
Hoc
Committee

Reorganiza-
tion
of

the
Committee
determined
which
proposals
would
be
placed
before
the
Council
of
Administration
at
its
next
session.

decided
on
the
list
of
candidates
to
be
proposed
to
the
Council
of
Administration
in
view
of
the
1974
statutory
elections.
It
also
decided
to
propose
to
the
Council
of
Adminis-
tration
that
the
Statutes
should
be
amended
to
increase
from
seven
to
eight
the
number
of
Vice-Presidents
of
the
Institute
and
to

the
retiring
President
