Adopted at 1993 Annual Conference

Whereas, many local governments, corporations, colleges, and universities are recognizing the need to cover homosexual couples under benefit packages;

Whereas, the ¾«¶«´«Ã½ has traditionally been in the fore on the promotion of equality for gays and lesbians, most notably with their Policy 54.3 and others;

Therefore Be It Resolved that the Social Responsibilities Round Table urges that a committee be established to review all ¾«¶«´«Ã½Headquarters personnel policies and employee benefits to ensure that no discrimination exists and that domestic partnership is recognized; and

Be It Further Resolved that any necessary arrangements with insurers and others to bring this into effect be implemented by 1 January, 1994.
