DELEGATE CLARKE: Personal privilege, Mr. President.

2

DELEGATE JAMES: The Chair recognizes Delegate

3

Clarke.

4

DELEGATE CLARKE: Mr. President, as you know and

5

perhaps many others here, but perhaps some don't, in the near

6

future a great portion of the tourist and convention business

7

that has been going elsewhere will remain in the State of

8

Maryland. One of the principal reasons for this is the great

9

effort put forth to build the Ocean City Auditorium. The

10

chief sponsor of this step forward in the House of Delegates

11

was and still is the Honorable Russell Hickman of Worcester

12

County who is seated in the balcony to the rear of the

13

chamber. Please greet him.

14

(Applause.)

15

DELEGATE JAMES: Any further amendments to Section

16

9? The Chair recognizes Delegate Carson.

17

DELEGATE CARSON: Mr. Chairman, for the record, I

16

unintentionally voted wrong, for the last one. I wanted to

19

vote in favor of the amendment, and somehow I voted against

20

it. We need not charge the record, I lust would like the

21

tape to show that.
