     of reference for all personnel concerned.


STOCKTAKING BOARD


2.   Prior to the commencement of the NPF fiscal year, the BComd shall
     appoint a stocktaking hoard consisting of:


     a.   An officer who will serve as the chairman of the stocktaking
          board; and


     b.   Sufficient NCMs to conduct the stocktakings required during
          the year.
