CALL TO ORDER

The Chair convened the mmeting of the Federal Issues Committee at 3:00 PM.

ACTION ITEM - Health Care Issues Briefing Paper

A motion was made and seconded:

That staff be directed to prepare a new issues briefing paper for presentation to the Federal Issues Committee in October to assist C.A.R. in establishing policy in which we can:

-- Evaluate any proposed legislation and;
-- Advocate for the health care priorities we support.

Further, the issues briefing paper should establish a matrix identifying all of the health care options and principles in general discussion so that the committee can decide those that we support, are neutral on, or oppose in order to allow efficient analysis of all future proposals.

Lastly, we should set a goal of debating and reaching conclusions by the January 2009 C.A.R meetings.

ADJOURMENT

The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 PM.
