page 3) and the War Council accepted that report as follows
"VOTED: That the report of the Committee concerning
appropriate forms of recognition for service
to the American Red Cross (War Council D.R.
page 2350) including the booklet describing
and picturing such insignia be, and it is
hereby accepted and approved in all respects."

describing and picturing to Red Cross insignia as referred to in the above vote

1. Mr. Ivy L. Lee was empowered to investigate and made a
report covering the forms and designs for awards for Red
Cross service and the regulations governing their distri-
bution.
2. The Committee on Awards was appointed to supervise the
