From the merger Committee of 10:

A draf t Constitution f o r the proposed merged club i s now being prapared- It., along with a skeleton s e t of bylaws concerning olections and responsibi l i t ies of the proposed BOD, i s expected t o appear i n the next bulletin, The i n i t i a l estimate f o r dues i n t h e new club, $8 third class and $12 f irst class, s t i l l appears t o be rea l i s t ic . Present cost analysis suggests tha t each member of the merged club could receive '$4 pages an issue (22 from each coast), 34 times a year, under a dues schedule of $8/$12. Last year the NRC averaged 28 peges a week and IRCA about 26; it now appears that a member of the merged club would receive more pages fo r h is dues - dollar than he now receives i n e i ther club. The Committee i s a lso presently studying the communications addressed t o it preparatory t o voting on an interim format. Merge i s contingent upon a favorable vote i n the I R C A referendum (ballots i n 10/19 issue).

It is not surprising t o see JAC res izn - I expected. it lone before- t h i s ; & it is not surpr is inz t h a t nobody w i l l assume the respons ib i l i t i es MY hope is t h e new club & bul le t in w i l l be nuch l i k e t ha t of our NRC, & a l s o tha t Our ed.itors w i l l renain t h e same, t o scme extent.

I ' ve never met h* PeTsonally, but I think he 's a real great guy a s a r e t h e rest of t he te rn Up i n t he Baston area, many of whon I know well. I n closing on t h i s matter, 1 5.2 would l i k e t o see the NRC continue as is, but since i t ' s nut feasible, l e t ' s hope w e ' l l keep our Present membership & retain soee or a l l of our present editors.
