Advisory Committee selects appropriate questions, modifies them as it 
deems desirable, and then prepares one or more drafts of actuarial 
examinations to be recommended to the Joint Board. (In addition to 
revisions of the draft questions, it may be necessary for the Advisory 
Committee to originate questions and include them in what is 
recommended.)
