DELEGATE JAMES: The Chair recognizes Delegate

DELEGATE LORD: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle-

4

men of the Convention, I have the honor of presenting the

5

Minority Report on the subject of education.

6

As Vice-Chairman Wheatley has already suggested,

7

we were badly split on bur Committee, and the vote was 8

8

to 7 to report this recommendation to the Floor. The vote

9

is now basically unchanged, although as I understand it,

10

it is 7-7 and 1; so this is about as even a split as you

11

can get.

12

I have been greatly encouraged by the presen-

13

tation of Delegate Wheatley, because before the Minority

14

has even come forth to speak, he has capitulated to a

15

great extent in the great tradition of R and P 2. We are

16

now striking the entire Section 3. I lost count of the

17

number of amendments that were consented to, but it seems

18

to me they were in the neighborhood of seven. I hope this

19

momentum continues and that you continue to follow the

20

lead of the Minority and strike considerably more from

21

this proposed recommendation.
