Legislative Delegation from Dealb and Fulton Counties." As the report

motion was seconded by Mrs. Alan Ritter and passed wnanimously.

of the Commission for one year. ‘The Commission approved using the same

currently serving be included, that Dr. John Letson be authorized to
name a replacement for Dr. James Miller, and that the bill include a
