Whereas, the 1992 session of the General Conference authorized the move of the offices of the General Board of Global Ministries from New York City to another location in the country; and

Whereas, the cost for such a move was not known in 1992; and

Whereas, anticipated costs of between forty million and seventy million dollars have recently been circulated in the print media; and

Whereas, the 1996 session of the General Conference will receive a report from the Location Committee;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1996 General Board of Global Ministries not be moved from New York City in light of the extremely high cost to do same.
