TEMPLES, 1956.

1956:  1 Jul.:  Recommends now to expire July 31.

“Referring to the paragraph headed ‘Expiration Dates of Recommends’ found on page 80 of the Handbook of Instructions, this will advise you that the paragraph is amended so as to provide that all outstanding temple recommends will expire on July 31 of this year and that all new recommends issued after July 31 will run for one year from that date, all such recommends expiring on July 31 of each succeeding year.”  (First Presidency Circular Letter, 1 Jul., 1956; xerox)
