(Addendum)
Limitation of Scope of Special War Reserves
1. In January, 1942, the committee on accounting procedure issued Accounting Research Bulletin No. 13, Accounting for Special Reserves Arising Out of the War. In October, 1946, it issued Bulle-tin No. 26 concerning the accounting for the use of these special war reserves.
2. The committee is of the opinion that, in the light of subse-quent developments of accounting procedures, these bulletins should no longer be relied upon as a basis for the establishment and use of reserves.
The statement entitled "Limitation of Scope of Special War Reserves" (No. 26-Ad-dendum) was unanimously adopted by the twenty-one members of the committee.
