CHANGE OF POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR FREIGHT FORWARDER

(16) On May 18, 1966, the Board of Trustees authorized execution of a Power of Attorney enabling the Judson Sheldon International Corporation (later known as the Pacific Intermountain Express Company), Chicago, Illinois, to represent the University in processing standard import or export shipments through U.S. customs offices at any designated port in the United States. The University has been notified that the Pacific Intermountain Express Company is ceasing operations. Therefore, the Vice President for Financial Affairs recommends that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute a Power of Attorney, approved by the University Counsel, authorizing D. C. Andrews International, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, to represent the University in processing standard import or export shipments through U.S. customs offices at any designated port in the United States. I concur and recommend the adoption of the following resolution. Resolution Be It, and It Is Hereby Resolved by The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, a public corporation of the State of Illinois, that the Comptroller of the said Board of Trustees and the Secretary of the said Board of Trustees, be and they hereby are, authorized to execute, certify, affix the seal of this corporation and deliver to United States Treasury Department Bureau of Customs, Customs Form 5291 (January 1970), a Corporation Power of Attorney to be filed with the Collector of Customs, authorizing D. C. Andrews International, Inc., a licensed custom house broker, to act for the University of Illinois by said power of attorney, to do all acts provided in said Customs Form 5291, a copy of which is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.

On motion of Mr. Howard, the foregoing resolution was adopted.
