The minutes of the March 1, 1994, meeting were approved as distributed. 3. Board International Committee. Mr. Webber presented the proposed charter and membership for the Board International Committee which was approved and recommended for Board concurrence. 4. GATT Policy. Mr. Gess presented the proposed policy on the GATT which was approved with several amendments and recommended for Board concurrence. 5. Shipbuilding Trade Reform Policy. Mr. Mullins presented the proposed policy on shipbuilding trade reform. 6. Superfund Reauthorization. a. Status Report and Strategy. Mr. Spiller presented a status report on Superfund, focusing on the areas of liability, remedy selection and insurance. The Executive Committee discussed in some detail how CMA would as an association evaluate and take a final position on whatever bill emerges from the House subcommittee drafting process later in April. The Executive Committee agreed to seek the Board's approval for the Executive Committee to conduct a quick turn around review of the final proposal and to evaluate it as a package against the criteria of whether it is true overall reform, and not solely on whether it does or does not meet our positions on individual issues. b. States' Role. The Executive Committee approved and recommended for Board concurrence the proposed policy on states' role in Superfund. Committee Consolidation. Messrs. Bradford, Price and Olguin presented a proposal to consolidate the existing Environmental Management, Health and Safety, and Engineering and Operations Committees into a new Environment, Health, Safety and Operations Committee. The consolidation and the proposed charter and membership for 1994/95 were approved and recommended for Board concurrence. CMA 063491 Page 3 8. Board Agenda Items. a. CMA Budget. Based upon the comments made during the morning's Board meeting, the Executive Committee had an extended discussion of how the Executive Committee might provide the full Board and membership the assurance that CMA is operating as a "lean" organization, using the best management processes, on a continuously prioritized set of issues and programs. The pros and cons of using third party "re-engineering" consultants or member company experts, benchmarking, and other techniques used in CMA member companies to improve effectiveness and efficiencies while driving down costs were discussed. It was the sense of those Executive Committee members who had been most involved in the Association's budget process and substantive programs over the years that CMA is managed tightly and that CMA's costs are largely driven by programs that the members have requested and supported. The Executive Committee also realized that further improvement is always possible and that not all the Directors and certainly not all the members have had the intense and personal exposure to the process that would provide a satisfactory level of comfort in the challenging economic environment in which the industry operates. The Executive Committee also discussed whether CMA is currently providing the same kind of program and management scrutiny to the outreach program that it does for the other core CMA activities. As a result of this discussion, the Executive Committee requested that Mr. Webber initiate steps in three areas: (1) Develop a new approach for the coming year to share with the Board the disciplines and details of the budget and prioritization process. (2) In future budget presentations, more clearly identify those programs not funded so that Directors can see where the choices have been made. (3) Develop an improved system for more precisely identifying which programs and projects require additional participation by member company personnel to be successful. b. Environmental Equity. Following up on the morning's presentation, the Executive Committee discussed the need to perfect our long term strategy and our support for state CICs and plant managers. c. Public Outreach. The Executive Committee discussed with Mr. Potter progress in the early stages of the renewed pubic outreach program. CMA 063492 Page 4 9. Committee Appointments. a. 1994/95. Mr. Van Vlack presented the proposed chairmen, vice chairmen and incoming class (`97) of members for CMA's various committees. These were approved as set forth in Exhibit A. b. Vacancies. Mr. Van Vlack presented several nominations to fill current vacancies on CMA committees which the Executive Committee approved as set forth in Exhibit B. 10. Treasurer's Report. Mr. Henman reported that for the nine months ending February 28, 1994, the Association had revenue of approximately $33,500,000, expenses of approximately $23,000,000, with variances within anticipated ranges. He indicated that the proposed 1994/95 budget projected year end revenue and expenses slightly below budget. *** The Executive Committee resolved itself into executive session. *** 11. Bylaw Change. The Executive Committee approved and recommended for Board concurrence several amendments to CMA's Bylaws regarding staff officer titles and responsibilities. *** The meeting was adjourned at 2:55 p.m. Executive Vice President Corporate Secretary Certified by: ff i Earnest W.
