The committee acts traditionally, that is, each member functions
individually with one vote on all matters in consideration.
Specifically, each member is responsible for reading and evaluating
each proposal received by the committee and carrying out related
activities.

The committee received proposals for the 1983-84 school year (they were
not called for in spring of 1983) and for the school year 1984-85 and
summer, 1984. Because not all funds were expended after the first call
for 1983-84, a second call was made.

materials to avoid duplication.
