Such assignments may be supported by a sworn copy of a resolution adopted by the [[Page 176]] group in accordance with the terms of the trust instrument, and proof of their authority to act as a unit may be required. As an alternative, assignments by all the fiduciaries, supported by proof of their incumbency, if not named on the securities, will be accepted. [38 FR 7078, Mar. 15, 1973; 38 FR 10004, Apr. 23, 1973]
