\section{Introduction}
This document describes the policies, guidelines, and traditions of
French House.  Although the idea of writing such a document has been
proposed for several years, it was not until the spring of 1993 that the
first draft was actually written.  This is not a ``Constitution'' {\em
per se\/}, although rules and policies are official and everyone is
expected to abide by them.

All rules and policies remain in effect until removed or altered at a
house meeting.

This document was last revised \today.
