CCE proposes the formation of a Labor Policy Committee which would include representation from each such group, meeting at frequent intervals and making recommendations to the Board of the merged organization on national policy matters.
These then, are the points on which CMA and CCE up to the present have been unable to agree.
There appear to be no other major items, insofar as CCE is aware, which cannot be more or less readily resolved. Although steadfast in its beliefs, CCE remains willing, even eager, to engage in meaningful discussions in an effort to conclude the merger and together get on to the tasks which await and confront the construction industry.
The Council of Construction Employers (CCE) is a Washington based association of 10 major national management associations in the construction industry, and is primarily concerned with labor relations matters in the construction industry.

Just in case you've been wondering who might hold the record as champion mother, the word we have is that the honor belongs to the first wife of Fyodor Vassilet, a peasant of the Moscow Jurisdiction, Russia. The report we received didn't give her first name, but did reveal she had 69 births: 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, four sets of quadruplets. This mother (1816-72) had 27 confinements, and most of the offspring reportedly reached maturity.
