Chairman Phares suggested Moss look into procurement and viewing of this film. STAFF; Director Anderson asked for a poll of the Board regarding the January 2, 1985 scheduled URA Board meeting, and, whether it should be postponed until January 9 due to the fact that some board members will not be present, and, Anderson will be on jury duty.

Joseph met with Nore Winter of Downing/Leach on December 18 to discuss research and resources for development standard guidelines.
