Document:LNC Resolution 4-5 December 1982 Regarding Financial Procedures

Resolved at the December 4-5, 1982 LNC Meeting:

FINANCIAL PROCEDURES:	This Committee endorses	sound financial	practices and controls in the operations of its affairs. From time to time it is appropriate to add or modify	such controls in	order to strengthen the	stewardship responsibility toward our contributors' funds. The following policies are established: (section (1) deleted) (2) The National Director is cautioned to observe the resolution of 9/4/78 limiting the Director's authorization to disburse funds for unbudgeted projects to $l,000 unless National Committee approval is obtained. It is further noted that the Director must secure the National Chair's approval for	all unbudgeted	projects. Failure to follow this policy may be cause for dismissal. The Treasurer is required to report all violations of this policy to the National Committee. (3) It is the LNC's intention that the LNC will not be responsible for the debts	incurred by future presidential campaigns or any other campaign. However, the LNC may vote to make monetary and nonmonetary contributions to such campaigns under the limits prescribed by law. If such contributions are made, they shall be made only after such candidate or campaign has agreed to meet the reasonable financial and budgetary controls set by the LNC. No candidate or staff member of a campaign is permitted to place orders, make purchases, or sign contracts in any manner that would lead a person to assume that the LNC is liable for the debt. The Secretary is responsible for publicizing this policy to all candidates for the Presidential nomination and other candidates who seek aid from the LNC or the national office.
