IOC Recognition
IOC Director Mme Monique Berlioux informs President Fuchs that the IOC Programme Commission had postponed a recommendation regarding the recognition of TWIF due to the lack of up-to-date information.
Constitution
TWIF obtained input from legal adviser (Bodo von During), Director IOC (Harry Banks) and Director of GAISF (Gerald Simons) to the draft Constitution. Congress (April 1978) referred formal acceptance to an Extraordinary Meeting. The revised Constitution and Rules for Tug of War was discussed at the Extraordinary Meeting in Dundalk 11 September 1978 and various amendments were proposed.
