Discussion continued from the Spring meeting in Asheville regarding allowing ASLCS Associate Members to attend Joint Canadian / American Meetings. The Standing Committee is awaiting the recommendation from the Executive Subcommittee. It was reiterated that no opposition to allowing Associate members to attend Joint meetings has been expressed by the Canadians. Chairman Harris will be traveling to the Canadian Clerks at the Table in Winnipeg in August. At that time, he will have further discussions with the Canadians regarding the matter and will obtain a letter from them citing their lack of opposition.
