Went on record that none of the Boards should be eliminated or consolidated, as set forth in paragraph 1, until the nlan set forth herein has been implemented in its entirety. d. Recommends that properly qualified professional experts be obtained to study fully and make complete recommendations in regard to the feasibility and details of this overall plan. In view of the fact that the Board understands a management consultant body is now preparing an investi- gation and report which would be submitted probably in A~ril, 1969, this may well be the proper group to consider our recommendation.
