Congressman GILMAN: We could refer to the report in the title matter as Report on the Ukrainian Famine, and you don’t have to use that formal title across the head to take care of your concerns. I think more important, let’s get on with the substance of our work.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: I’d like to entertain a motion to accept the by-laws as read.
Dr.KUROPAS: So moved.
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: Seconded.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: All in favor?
(Chorus of ayes)
Opposed?
(No response)
Then it’s accepted as read.
Okay. The next item, I think, that the Chairman wanted us to do is the considera¬tion of the proposed budget, and if we could all get out our copy of it, Id like to ask Dr. Mace to go through it and read it and explain it, and maybe we can have some questions.

Dr. MACE: Yes. The budget for fiscal year 1986 only extends to October 1st. So that’s why the figures are different for fiscal year 1986. We first tried to come up with annualized figures, but we’ll be operating in not two calendar years, but in three fiscal years of different lengths. So at this point we should consider first of all the budget for fiscal year 1986.

1 Available in June.
2 Available for unanticipated expenses.
