he was currently aware of was U.S. leg-
islation called Teaming With Wildlife and
relates to an excise tax on noncon-
sumptive merchandise. This bill already
has the support of the national AFS as
well as many conservation organiza-
tions both public and private. Details
surrounding the bill appear in the Is-
sues column.
Lance Robinson reported that he is
receiving very few additions to the
Fisheries Workers Directory at this
time.

over 60
persons

the student workshop at the Southern

from both students and professionals.

meeting date
was set as
January 24
through 27,

to take advantage of slack time in
coastal schedules and to encourage
greater student participation.
Malcolm Johnson reported that the re-
vised Pond Management publication
will be ready for review in the very near
future.

decision was to
send a set

reinvest the remaining lump sum into
fund for additional endowments. The
division of funds will be determined af-
ter the Chapter receives a check from
