With regard to investment policy, members recognized the complexity of the issues and expressed a diversity of views. The Committee spent considerable time discussing how the Board of Overseers could meet its responsibilities for expressing its views to the Corporation on this important subject and how the Board of Overseers and the Corporation could best explore the issues in a thoughtful and cooperative...
