be rewritten to eliminate qualified recommendations and to provide !only
for recommendation for deferral of action; and that Type C would ba re-
written to allow a negative recommendation without making it an unqualified
negative recommendation, It also agreed that, in both Types B and Co
reasons for the recommendations would be required.
