many
This was discovered Thursday by a
comparison of the text issued to the
Amnerican press with the original
version
The language of the clause opens
the possibility of sn increase as well

after discussion by the council of the

the provision probably contemplated

occasional variants, which was skip-
ped by the commission's drafting ex-
perts, reads conditionally "may be"
Instead of "is".
