NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL 
My dear Mr. 
It has seemed desirable in connection with the reorganization of the National Research 
Council on a peace basis to bring together and to place definitely on record the objects and 
the conditions of gift of the various funds donated for the work of the Council. The follow- 
ing statement concerning the fund has been drawn up by 
, Chairman of the Division who controls the expenditure 
of this fund. May I ask you to examine this statement and to inform me whether it is in 
essential agreement with your record and particularly whether the mode of accounting for 
expenditures from this fund is entirely satisfactory to 
Yours very truly, 
Treasurer. 
Concerning the matter of the organization of the Division of Educational 
Relations it was 
Moved: That the Interim Committee recommend to the Executive Board the approval 
of the election of Mr. Vernon Kellogg as Chairman of the Division of Educational Relations. 
{Adopted.) 
The question of traveling expenses of Chairmen of Divisions when called 
to Washington while on leave of absence was considered. After discussion it 
was 
Moved: That when members of the Executive Board or of the Interim Committee on leave 
are required to travel to Washington on official business their traveling expenses, when 
approved by the Chairman, shall be paid by the National Research Council. {Adopted.) 
The Chairman reported that the Psychology Section of the Division of 
Anthropology and Psychology was in process of organization. 
The Interim Committee adjourned at 11.10 a.m. to meet at the call of the
