Dov zakheim i dont know if david will agree, i think a point to david made previously goes to the heart of your concern. Our foreignpolicy is being run by a small group of people in the white house, most of whom have minimal foreignpolicy experience. Which is remarkable, because theyve been doing it for six years, but it is if it has been six days. I think that regardless of who is elected, the real issue is, does the White House Run foreign policy, or do we leave it to the professionals. People like your self and others who serve in treasury, state defense, commerce. We have a lot of international agencies, and young people are more interconnected with the world than any other generation.

So, currently, the only thing that says, in the current bylaws for chairs, there shall be two cochairs the Service Officers of the council. The Council Shall elect these officers. Officer terms shall be one year. It is not say the terms may be staggered by not less than three months. The idea was not to have another election for a cochair right away so we have a job like jul was talking about. The idea was to have term limits, recommendation was too strong a word. Cochair shall serve a maximum of two terms. Does anyone want to make a motion . If not, the bylaws can stay as they are. Chair why do we break down the proposed amendments one by one. Article 3a, proposed amendment that cochairs can serve
