[[underlined]] Appointment of new Congressional Regents [[/underlined]]

The vacancies created on the Board of Regents by three Congressional members who would not be coming back to the 94th Congress, namely, Senator J. William Fulbright and Congressmen William E. Minshall and John J. Rooney, require that their replacements be named by the President of the Senate for the Senator Regent and by the Speaker of the House for the two Representative Regents.

It was suggested that Senator Mansfield be contacted by the Secretary to appraise him of the vacancy in the hope that an appointment might be made soon. Mr. Mahon offered to talk with the Speaker of the House about the two Representative appointments.
