with the militia --
DELEGATE SCANLAN: Yes, it was.
DELEGATE JOHNSON: -- in the Committee of the
Whole. I wonder, because of our experience, whether or
not it wouldn't be better, under Rule 46-A on Page 5,
whether or not to delete the requirement that the amendment
be placed on the desk of each delegate prior to the time
the amendment is offered. The rule would still provide,
of course, that the amendment would have to be in writing,
that it would have to appear at the floor desk, but
because experience has shown there will be times when a
delegate may wish to withdraw his amendment and to avoid
unnecessarily cluttering the delegates' desks with amend-
ments, that may be withdrawn or may not be finally offered,
and because delegates may have a similar amendment in mind
and there would be duplication, I am wondering if the
chairman would delete that language and still carry the
thrust of the committee's proposal?
THE PRESIDENT: Before the Chairman of the
Committee answers the question, let me clarify one matter
of procedure. |
