occasions it has been necessary to obtain a written confirmation of that authority from the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Regents. To eliminate the need to burden the Executive Committee with routine administrative matters, it is proposed that the phrase "and may execute loans, mortgages, sureties, contracts, and any other official documents necessary to the administration of the Institution" be added to the first sentence of Section 6.06. Also in the first sentence, it is proposed that the phrase "Pursuant to the Secretary's general authority as chief executive officer of the Institution" replace the phrase "Subject to the policies and conditions established by the Board of Regents," since the latter phrase is a matter of internal administration which, on occasion ,has invited the further request from an outside party for a certification as to the policies and conditions established by the Regents for the particular transaction. Finally, it is proposed that the clause "provided that such delegations shall be made in writing and reported to the Board of Regents when next it meets" be deleted from the last sentence of the section, since a similar procedure is adequately stated in the preceding sentence.

The proposed amendments have been annotated on the attached excerpt of the current Bylaws. The section headings have been amended to reflect the proposed revisions of the sections.

In accordance with Section 1.02 of the Bylaws, which provides that the "bylaws may be amended at any meeting of the Board of Regents . . ., provided that the proposed amendments have been mailed to each member of the Board of Regents not later than thirty days prior to such meeting," it is suggested that these proposed amendments be brought forward for the Regents' final consideration at their May 7, 1990, meeting.
