APPENDIX B

Delegate Strength

The number of delegates each state sent to the Conference was based on the number of the state's U.S. Representatives and Senators rounded up to the next number divisible by four. The number of alternates was one-fourth the number of delegates, rounded up to the next number divisible by four. Territories, the District of Columbia, the Native American population and the federal library community were each represented by four delegates and four alternates. Puerto Rico was represented by eight delegates and four alternates because of its population size. Additionally 64 delegates-at-large were appointed by the chairman of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science.
