handle is hein.journals/admreln8 and id is 23 raw text is: ADMINISTRATIVE LAW NEWS spring 1983 published by the section of administrative law, american bar association, volume 8, number 3 Chairman Urges Section Members to Support Major ABA Policy Change This message is addressed to those of you who will be in Atlanta for the Annual Meeting. A number of those who plan to be there have already commit- ted themselves to attend the meeting of the ABA Assembly on Monday afternoon, August 1, in order to support a proposed amendment to the ABA Constitution that would enhance the voice of the sections in the governance of the Association. I hope that, after you read the description of what is proposed, others who can do so will also under- take to attend. For that description I have drawn heavily on a message addressed by Chairman Henry Wheeler to the 47,000 members of the Sec- tion of Corporation, Banking and Business Law. Other section chairmen, I am sure, will be com- municating with their members. On the agenda of the Assembly, which consists of all ABA members registered for the Annual Meeting, is a proposed amendment to the ABA Constitution under which section and division delegates would become members of the body that nominates ABA officers and members of the Board of Governors. This nominating committee now has as members only the 52 state delegates. The proposed amendment, known as the Beckham Amendment, would add 21 section delegates and a delegate each from the Judicial Administration Division and the Young Lawyers Division. I am one of the sponsors of the amendment. The other officers of the Section and Council members who are planning to be in Atlanta are among those who have already committed themselves to be on hand for the consideration of the amendment by the Assembly. The Conference of Section Chair- men endorsed the Beckham Amendment at two successive meetings in September 1982 and February 1983. An amendment to the ABA Constitution must be approved by two-thirds of the Assembly members.
