FLEET MOTOR VEHICLES: Recommendations from the Committee of the Department of Purchase and Supply (Esda Sales and Service) were submitted, and adopted as follows: Due to recent developments in the automobile industry as it affects the future availability. of fleet cars for the use of Seventh-day Adventist conferences and institutions and for their employees who use their cars in connection with their work for these organizations:, We recommend, 1. That all fleet automobiles sold by the Department of Purchase and Supply be retained by the employing organization or the individual owner whichever holds ownership for a minimum period of six months from date of original delivery. 2. That delivery be not made of a fleet car to any in- dividual who at the time of application owns or has disposed of a motor vehicle less than six months of age. In case of Chevrolet cars, they shall be owned and oper- ated by the employing' organization during their period of eco- nomic sound operation, such period not to be less than nine months. Due to the fact that somepAnufacturers will not in the future expedite or assist dealr$ .the delivery'of cars that are not to be used in the dealers area of operation, We recommend, 3. That as far as possible, in line with distribution policies of the manufacturers, we place our fleet orders in the union or local territory where the car will be used, and that we encourage union and local conferences to establish within their territories contacts with dealers through whom we can place orders for cars to be delivered for use in those areas. Where union and local conferences are unable to effect contacts with dealers, this office will assist, together with the manu- facturers zone offices, in establishing such contacts. 1904 June 1, 1950 The manufacturers recognize that our headquarters in Washington will have leeway under their distribution policies I to equalize deliveries to our organizations by handling emergency orders through our Washington office and by handling units for overseas workers returning to this country. We recommend, 4. That fleet cars be supplied only to sub- sidiary organizations for use of regular payroll employees (in- cluding sustentation workers and missionaries on furlough), full- time colporteurs, and those self-supporting institutions that are individually approved by the General Conference Committee for the purchase of fleet cars for use of their regular payroll employees it being understood that with this recommendation approval is being given for fleet cars to be sold to the following self-sup- porting institutions: Madison College and Sanitarium; Pisgah Institute, at Candler, North Carolina; and Mountain Sanitarium and Hospital, Fletcher, North Carolina. We recommend. 5. That as far as possible correspondence and orders regarding fleet cars be handled by the Washington office, Esda Sales and Service, with the ordering organization rather than the assignee. Where circumstances require corre- spondence with the assignee, copies of the correspondence be sent to the employing organization.
