A proposal to conduct a capital funds campaign of $50,000 to $60,000 in
the City of Boston in conjunction with a million dollar campaign on a
national scale for the Henry Monsky Memorial Building in Washington
was discussed.    This building is to constitute National Headquarters for
the B'nai B'rith,  housing all its departments and administratioe facilities.
Philip Lown has already committed himself to sucha campaign locally on
behalf of the National B'nai B'rith.    Mr.  Lown asked for clearance on ta«-
hi-xfuatxtiiexltfxi-tx'kn-'-^^ this proposal and the Executive
Committee of the CJA referred his request to the Committee on Multiple
Appeals.    Upon motion duly made and seconded,   it was
VOTED: to recommend to the Executive Committee that the
B'nai B'rith be asked to defer its campaign to this coming
spring and to limit its solicitationto  members of the Bnai
B'rith organizations.    Further, that conversations be arranged with Mr.   Lown to consider with him what would constitute a fair goal to be raised for such a campaign.
