Article III, Section I, (d) Upon motion duly made by Henry Vargas and seconded, it was agreed to change the figure (2) to (5) thus this would now read, "Each council may add 5 additional delegates and 2 additional alternates for every 10 members over 40 members who are active in the affairs of the Council. The word "active is to be left to the discretion of each council.

Mr. Vasquez stated that $50.00 per council was contributed to the State Director in his state and all expenses over the amount given were the responsibility of the State Director. In further discussion, Celestino George, Council 10, suggested reimbursement of costs incurred and limit the per diem amount and he further stated that he felt that 10 cents per mile was too high. It was then suggested that probably a figure of 7 cents per mile would be satisfactor. The State Director then pointed out to the assembly that too much time was being consumed on a matter that could not be settled at this time. At this point, Joe Sandoval, the originator of the motion on the floor made an amendment to to his original motion to settle for 10 cents a mile and this amount would be required to cover all expenses incurred, (including registration, lodging, food etc).
