Howdy,
I just thought that I would add that the charter provided above has almost certainly been replaced with the purposes as stated in the Articles of Incorporation of the various corps during the latest reorganization if not before. One could probably obtain these Articles of Incorporation from the various state secretaries offices.
Someone thinking Ultra Vires?
Not likely.
