FURTHER BUDGET REDUCTION

Advise plan two. Urge, however, maintain permanent entrance ways, vestibules and metal doors. Also permanent rubber tile or terrazzo floor.

Considering soaring prices, shortness of period, weighty issues involved, approve still more drastic reduction of budget, complete suspension during two years of appropriations for activities unconnected with European project, Latin American work and a.s.sembly consolidation in United States.

(”Plan two” refers to a series of possible Temple construction schedules submitted to the Guardian.)

CURTAILMENT OF SOME ACTIVITIES

Budgets for activities in Europe, Latin America and consolidation work in United States should not be reduced owing to their vital relation to Second Seven Year Plan. All other activities, whether connected with proclamation of Faith, publications, Baha'i Magazine, Baha'i World or schools, should either be drastically curtailed or suspended during two years. Holding Annual Convention and maintenance of Baha'i News essential.
