The wording came back from the state. The State has asked that some footnotes be put
in. The Committee reviewed the document and Lois wrote in the footnotes. It will be
resubmitted to the State.

Gary read the wording and didn't see anything wrong with it. He gave it back to Steve
Beachy and it has been sent to the Texas Historical Commission.
