In line with the discussions and plans, in which the Chancellor and the Secretary had participated, to provide for an orderly progression of new Regents to fill vacancies which will arise under the Bylaws, and without in any way wishing to preclude further discussions by the Regents, the Executive committee recommended that David C. Acheson be selected as the citizen Regent from the District of Columbia to succeed Dr. Haskins.  After discussion the Board of Regents approved the following motion:

VOTED that the Board of Regents requests the Congressional Regents to introduce legislation to appoint David C. Acheson citizen Regent of the Smithsonian Institution for the statutory term of six years.

The meeting of the Executive Committee adjourned at 2:30 p.m. at the conclusion of luncheon.
