Secretary-Treasurer Jackson
said the plan is to make the re
ductions with the priority being
to not lay people off from their

But the reductions for 2004
will be very hard to meet with
out a reduction in personnel, said
Jackson.
The problem is that signifi
cant budget cuts have already
happened in previous years and
in the current year. These reduc
tions were made in large part
without personnel cuts. By now
there are fewer and fewer places
to look for budget reductions
other than personnel.
