| Abstract: | At the meeting of August 27 and 30, 1973, the Council of Representatives approved the following recommendations from the Membership Committee and the Board of Directors: Amendment to Article II, Section 8, of the APA Bylaws to clarify the conditions under which an associate of the American Psychological Association is advanced to full membership by deletion of the word "automatically" which causes confusion as it seems to contradict the fact that an evaluation of eligibility is involved. Amendment, to be submitted to the membership, of Article XVIII, Section 7, of the APA Bylaws to permit the exemption from dues of a member who has been totally and permanently disabled. The Council further voted that, if this amendment is approved, a Rule of Council would specify that the determination of disability would be by an employer or by the Social Security Administration.
