                     OF  THE   SECTION ON CORPORATION, BANKING & BUSINESS LAW
                              Issue on Professional Associations & Corporations


Volume 8                                   December 1969                                       No. 1


                               STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN

     Our Section membership  now  stands at the largest in its history, and on behalf of our Council I want
to thank all the membership  for its active support of our Section's work and activities. We are looking
forward this year to launching efforts on a number of projects to aid our areas of special professional
interest, primarily through the activities of the several Committees of our Section.
     Through  the Committee on  Information we are exploring one of the Section's most exciting projects
to date - video-tape presentations of how-to subjects of interest to business lawyers. In January the
Council will consider the sponsorship by our Section of the first of these, a film on incorporation planning
in Texas which will be used in conjunction with printed materials distributed at the time of showing the
films.
     The Information Committee  also will publish the Bulletin again this year, with the continuing help of
our membership  in contributing articles and developments of interest. If any lawyer has or wants to prepare
material for publication in the Bulletin please write Professor George A. Pelletier at S.M.U. Law School so
that he may consider it. We need contributions to this publication!
     The Committees  concerned with state legislation will be undertaking analysis of legislative proposals,
looking to the next  legislative session in 1971. The U.C.C. Committee, the Committee on Revision of
Corporation laws, and the Banking Committee  will be meeting during the spring to consider and explore
various areas of legislative need.
     The Securities Committee plans to re-examine the various problems of state securities laws, both from
the  point of view  of whether  and  what  legislation might be needed, and  through  discussion and
consideration of administrative problems with representatives of the State Securities Board itself. Further
work  will also be done with  respect to recommendations  for implementing  the Wheat Report  to the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and other problems of federal securities regulation. We are fortunate
indeed to have the undertaking of Truman Holladay, State Securities Commissioner, and of Gerald Boltz,
Regional Administrator of the S.E.C., to meet and discuss administrative and legislative problems with the
Committee  and  appropriate subcommittees - in each case with the understanding that these gentlemen
bring expertise, and not official representation of their agencies, to the committee's work.
     We hope  also to see work commence  during the coming year on study of the Texas antitrust laws to
consider the desirability and feasibility of incorporating a pari delicto doctrine or similar concept in private
antitrust litigation, which would serve to prevent an unjust enrichment of co-violators while at the same
time  encouraging compliance  with and private enforcement  of the salutary rules against price-fixing,
unlawful territorial restrictions, and the like.
