least with reasonably short amendments. I suppose we will
have longer ones later on.
In that connection, might I transmit to you
what one of the members of the Rules Committee suggested
would be a good thing, that anybody who is contemplating
an amendment to a committee report, that he first consult
with the chairman of the committee to find out if his
particular amendment was dealt with, the issue was dealt
with in the committee, if it was rejected, why it was
rejected, et cetera. This might cut down on amendments
because after all, we will have at least three or four
days before a committee report is taken up once it reaches
the Committee of the Whole. I think this would be a
salutary practice and might minimize or cut down the number
of amendments otherwise offered. I plead guilty here that
a number of amendments offered the other day just as well
could have been prepared prior to the session.
Your second question, Mr. Wheatley, was in
connection with the second reading procedure. I wasn't
quite sure what your question was.
