KEEP THE BAN ON HOMOSEXUALSIN THE MILITARY Whereas, Service in the Armed Forces is a unique calling and requires stringent standards of behavior; and Whereas, The purpose of the Armed Forces is to defend this Country, not to serve as a social/ political laboratory;and 61 Whereas, The Congress recognized the unique nature and purpose of the Armed Forces by exempting the military from the Americans with Disabilities Act; and Whereas, Many groups whose presence would impair the efficiency of the Armed Forces are excluded from military service on such criteria as height, visual acuity, age, and handicaps; and Whereas, Experienced military personnel are convinced that the official acceptance of homosexu­ als in the Armed Forces would adversely affect morale and discipline and the recruitment of non­ homosexuals into the military, and would, thereby, impair the efficiency of the Armed Forces; and Whereas, The homosexual male population is dispropo11ionatelyafflicted with the HIV virus and with AIDS which would jeopardize other military personnel by their presence; and Whereas, Official acceptance of homosexuals would have undesirable, logical consequences, such as base housing for homosexual couples, medical care and pension benefits for homosexual "spouses," and demands for proportional representation of homosexuals at all command levels of the Armed Forces; and Whereas, The Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 125, states" ... SODOMY OF ALL KINDS-CONSENTUAL OR NOT, HOMOSEXUAL OR NOT - IS PUNISHABLE BY UPTO 20 YEARS HARD LABOR," and Whereas, The military is the last government bastion of traditional morality; Resolved, That the members of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, as individuals, inform themselves and urge Congress to stand firm in maintaining the ban on homosexuals in the military.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'SREPORT

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Daughters of the American Revolution - Georgia Society as of April 30, 1993, and the related statement of Income and Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Society's manage­ ment. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstate­ ment. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion .

In my opinion, the above cited financial statements present fairly the assets and liabilities of the Daughters of the American Revolution - Georgia Society as of April 30, 1993, arising from cash transactions, and the revenues collected and expenditures made during the year then ended, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. ~ .

Many chapters do not have it and some took no action. One chapter sent $25.00 to the Treasurer General. One chapter invited a T.V. host to a DAR luncheon and wrote an article thanking a T.V. station for its coverage of American History Month. 225 letters were written to the media. Twenty-two chapters said their communities had video tape legislation and 36 chapters felt rental stores were complying with the rating system. I believe younger members attend movies at theaters and older either rent videos or wait until movies come to television. As for television; news, documentaries and programs such as 60 Minutes, 20/20, 48 Hours, etc. received most votes from adults. It seems that the best programs for children air on PBS or pay cable channels; Discovery, Disney, Nickelodeon.Curr ent movie voted best for children: Beauty and the Beast; for adults: A River Runs Through It. Current T.V. show voted best for children: Sesame Street; for adults: Murder She Wrote. Continue to express your views. The FCC is on our side. Its Commissioner,James Quello, says, "There has been ... a public outcry against indecency and obscenity." But the FCC needs proof.

FINANCE COMMITTEE, Mrs. James J. Muldrow The finance committee of the Georgia State Society, NSDAR, met at the Ramada Inn in Carrollton on August 11, 1992. Seven members were present. (Attendance list attached.) Mrs. James J. Muldrow, chairman, called the meeting to order at 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Theodore C. Whitson opened the meeting with prayer. The chairman asked Mrs. Charles B. Watkins to act as secretary during the next two years. The chairman gave a special welcome to Mrs. Jerido Ward, State Regent, an ex officio member of the committee. Mrs. Leonard G. De Lamar was present at the invitation of the chairman. The chairman announced that several bylaw changes had been recommended. These changes were discussed but agreement was reached that they can wait until next year following the National Society's general revision. I. Internal audit mid year of administration; CPA audit at close of administration. Even though desirable, this change would be unrealistic because an auditor probably would not accept an internal audit. 2. Require books to be in hands of auditor not later than 15 days following closing of books. This procedure is already in effect; however, the auditor is slow in performing the actual audit. Reemphasize with him the necessity of time limit. 3. Establish a standard method of keeping state books so that any person can understand the books. The bookkeeping system was originally set up by auditor. Discuss it with him again. However, a person must have some knowledge of bookkeeping in order to understand the books. A double entry system would cause the treasurer to spend an excessive amount of time on the books because of Meadow Garden business. Will it be necessary to change auditors? (Question not answered, but change unlikely because it would mean an increase in fees.) 4. Maintain a permanent bookkeeping file which would contain copies of sales tax records and withholding records with check attached, and this file will be passed from treasurer to treasurer. In case of audit records would be readily available. Decision was reached

100 that this change must be implemented immediately before any records are lost. Resolutions pertaining to the finance committee were distributed earlier to the committee members. (Complete copy attached.)

Mr. Fowler suggested we leave the principal of$220,000.00 alone and use the interest to maintain the house. Interest has not been used, since the fund was established. We have been operating with a deficit for about 3 years. The principal of $220,000.00 is what will be left when the monies are pulled for the Gatehouse Fund. He also suggested that CD's be put into larger amounts and longer terms on a rotating basis in order to get more interest. The interest should be pulled monthly and put into the Maintenance account. A$ I 00,000.00 CD will stay at that amount and not conflict with original resolution.
