Sec. 905.34  Procedure of committees.

    (a) Ten members of the committee shall constitute a quorum.
    (b) For any decision or recommendation of the committee to be valid, 
ten concurring votes, five of which must be grower votes, shall be 
necessary: Provided, That the committee may recommend a regulation 
restricting the shipment of grapefruit grown in Regulation Area I or 
Regulation Area II which meets the requirements of the Improved No. 2 
grade or the Improved No. 2 Bright grade only upon the affirmative vote 
of a majority of its members present from the regulation area in which 
such restriction would apply; and whenever a meeting to consider a 
recommendation for release of such grade is requested by a majority of 
the members from the affected area, the committee shall hold a meeting 
within a reasonable length of time for the purpose of considering such a 
recommendation. If after such consideration the requesting area majority 
present continues to favor such release for their area, the request 
shall be considered a valid recommendation and transmitted to the 
Secretary. The votes of each member cast for or against any 
recommendation made pursuant to this subpart shall be duly recorded. 
Whenever an assembled meeting is held each member must vote in person.
    (c) The committee may, in cases of emergency, vote by telephone and 
all such votes must be confirmed in writing. Any proposition so voted 
upon shall first be fully explained to all members or alternates acting 
as members. When any proposition is submitted to be voted on by 
telephone, two (2) dissenting votes shall prevent its adoption.
    (d) The committee shall give the Secretary the same notice of 
meetings as is given to the members thereof.
