As reported to you a year ago by former chairman, James Mills, the Fraternal Relations Committee was formulating guidelines for Speakers' bureau. A survey of societies, study groups, and individuals produced a number of ideas, among which, most notably, was the recommendation that such a program be conducted on the local level. The committee continued discussion during 1975. It was felt that speakers should be sent only upon request. Committee members feel that there are plans to have in readiness for the future. few societies have had requests for speakers.

In March, Mr. Snider asked Fraternal Relations to undertake a study of all of the significant religious organizations of the world.

The Executive Committee has approved a letter and request form which will shortly be mailed to the Brotherhood membership. We are requesting titles of books, newspaper and magazine articles dealing with religious groups in order to start a resource file. Eventually consideration may be given to starting a library. Committee members felt that we should not make judgmental comment upon any religious organization, but rather devote energies to gathering and co-ordinating information.
