DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. Chairman and ladies and

3

gentlemen of the Committee of the Whole, GP-9 is the

4

General Provisions Recommendation on the retention of the

5

common law theory as derived from the ancient English

6

law. I frankly confess that I feel rather devastated

7

and disappointed because I had an excellent speech prepared

8

to give to you trying to retain what you have before

9

you known as GP-9.

10

However, as a result of some problems that we

11

had dealing with the Transitory Provisions, the imple-

12

mentation of this Constitution, trying to blend it in

13

with the present one, it was decided, and this is with

14

the approval of the Committee that we would request that

15

you would adopt an amendment which I believe is lettered

16

Amendment A.

17

THE CHAIRMAN: Will the pages please distribute

18

Amendment A?

19

DELEGATE BOYER: And if I may, Mr. Chairman,

20

I will then speak on this amendment A, rather than GP-9.

21

THE CHAIRMAN: Yes.
