I have three comments:

This change doesn't appear to be accurately reflected in the proposed text.
Change:
In (2) insert after 'secretary must' the line "approve or reject the 
application, except in the case where the Secretary chooses to ".
Proposed text:
(2) As soon as practicable after receiving an application for membership, the 
committee is to determine whether to approve or to reject the application. 
Suggested text:
(2) As soon as practicable after receiving an application for membership, the 
Secretary is to approve the application or refer the application to the  
committee, which is then to determine whether to approve or to reject the 
application. 

That change should only allow the Secretary to approve approve, not reject, 
per the basis of the change.

There are a number of spellos in the first part - a patch is attached.
