Committee on Rules, Credentials, and Convention Budget.

2

DELEGATE SCANLAN: Although your approval of

3

Resolution 26 takes care of one of the most important

4

Convention activities, I think in order to be absolutely

5

sure of the authority of the President to expend funds

6

on behalf of the Convention in winding up the post-

7

convention activities, that Resolution No. 27 really is

8

necessary. The resolution has been shown to and has been

9

approved by the Attorney General and would make it

10

perfectly clear that the President had the authority to

11

enter into contracts, including employment contracts, in

12

connection with the winding up of the post=convention

13

activities and while it is possible to interpret Resolution

14

No. 26 to go this far, in order to be perfectly clear and

15

since it has the approval of the Attorney General, and I

16

think it would mean that any expenditures entered into

17

and approved by the President in the post-convention

16

period would be approved by the Comptroller, and I

19

think it would be wise that you adopt it and I move that

20

you do.
