plans on speaking 10 1he advi

how 10 proceed wi1 h this idea.
SAAB Issues

to apply for SAAB grants and

1 lu:y arc eligible to ask for money
from the General Allocauons

discussion of thcsubjcc1 ensued
Since the research grant pur
su11 ls h1ghlyt·oinpctitive, those
SAAB members who would (hy
po1he1ically) come 10 council or
GAB for money would possibly
h:wc an unfair advantage.
Wixson and Bailey will be look

1 lu:y arc eligible to ask for money

Since the research grant pur

SAAB members who would (hy

Wixson and Bailey will be look
