GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.     Our Committee membership this year included a large number of "new faces"
- people who have done good work in other phases of CJP,   but who have had
no experience with allocations.    We recommend that new members of allocations committees be briefed in advance (a) on the budgetary process in general;
(b) on the interrelationship of the various components of the total allocations
(local - national - UJA); and (c) on the functions of the agencies dealt with by
a particular allocations committee.    While the multigraphed literature which
was forwarded to each member of our committee in advance of our meetings
summarized the functions of several of the agencies,   it is likely that a fuller
report to the Committee would have been helpful.    At the conclusion of the
first meeting the members indicated that they would be pleased to attend one
or more meetings during the fall season at which they would be informed in
much greater detail as to the functions of these particular agencies,  and we
recommend the scheduling of such meetings .
