The biggest item was to provide a reserve for Taylor's entire investment of $1,142,902 in acquiring 85% of Holland's West-Friesland Eurotransport, Inc. West-Friesland is losing money-as Taylor predicted it would for at least five years.

Still to be decided is the question of which reforms should take place, and on this matter the delegates are as divided as ever.
