DELEGATE NEEDLE: Exactly. The Chair has

2

apparently realized it too. The word "governor" should

3

be stricken.

4

THE CHAIRMAN: Any objection to striking

5

from line 3 the words "governor or"?

6

The Chair hears none. The modification will be made.

7

DELEGATE NEEDLE: This requires no explanation.

8

It serves to make consistent the entire section in view of

9

an earlier modification by a prior amendment so that the

10

sentence on line 16 will read: "Within 60 days

11

after such a proposal by the voters or within 60 days

12

after the General Assembly calls a convention the

13

governor shall appoint a commission to prepare for the

14

convention."

15

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Boyer.

16

DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. Chairman, at first blush

17

when I saw it, it appeared to be a housekeeping amendment.

18

I was kind of surprised when it was withdrawn. I wonder

19

if Delegate Needle would yield and tell me why he has

20

had reflection on this. I want the record to be crystal

21

clear why we are now resubmitting it.
