prohibit the Committee on Style or the substantive
committee or 15 delegates asking that the motion again be
reconsidered.
We followed here, I think, the tradition or
practice that prevailed in the great Constitutional
Convention of 1787 where reconsideration was permitted
day after day and time after time. But the significant
difference between that historical precedent and the rule
we suggest is that there the reconsideration took place
in the Committee of the Whole. The rule as liberalized,
proposed by your committee, would only be applicable to
the Convention, proceedings in the Convention itself,
most specifically, I would think, on second reading.
I suppose I have omitted some details, the
report is long enough, I hope you have all read it. This
then is the Twelfth Report of your committee.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any questions of the
Chairman of the Committee for purposes of clarification?
Delegate Johnson.
