THE CHAIRMAN: Before continuing with debate,
|
|
2
|
the Chair wants to make an announcement and ask the Clerk
|
|
3
|
to ring the quorum bell.
|
|
4
|
We are in a situation where, because of the pro-
|
|
5
|
tracted sessions of the Convention, the Committee on
|
|
6
|
Style, Drafting and Arrangement, and the Committee
|
|
7
|
Working on the transitional provisions are unable to meet for
|
|
8
|
sufficient lengths of time to progress and have available
|
|
9
|
reports for the consideration of the Convention.
|
|
10
|
As indicated earlier in the week, it is imperative
|
|
11
|
that we have a period of at least two, and, preferably three
|
|
12
|
days to enable these committees to complete their work and
|
|
13
|
present it to the Convention.
|
14
|
If we continue the announced schedule of sessions;
|
|
15
|
of the Convention for today, tomorrow and Saturday, and
|
|
16
|
succeed in completing consideration of every item on the
|
|
17
|
agenda, and then permit these two committees to go to work
|
|
18
|
on their various matters we would then be in a position
|
|
19
|
to present their written reports to the delegates and
|
|
20
|
allow the delegates time enough to study them and begin debate
|
|
21
|
next week.
