to be introduced today. (Applause.)
Are there any motions or resolutions?
I have a few announcements. I think the de-
bate of yesterday demonstrated two things with respect
to amendments:
(1) That the administrative procedure which
has been worked out for the processing of amendments
prepared on the floor and processing them quickly so they
can get back to your desks in printed form is workable.
By actually timing the amendments yesterday it was indicated
that short amendments such as we had yesterday could be
reproduced and printed and back on the floor in just
about 20 minutes after the Belegate left the floor with
the amendment in mind. However, I think the experience
yesterday also indicates the desirability of having amend-
ments to the greatest possible extent prepared in advance.
Most of the amendments offered yesterday could have been
prepared in advance and would have facilitated the session.
The future sessions, which are going to involve
perhaps many more amendments and more detailed considera-
tion of lengthier recommendations, will make it imperative |
