THE PRESIDENT: I think that is a tribute

2

well deserved and should extend also to members of the

3

staff who worked with Delegate Hardwicke. 1 think very

4

few of you, with the exception of the Committee Chairman,

5

have any real appreciation of the number of hours of

6

work which went into the preparation of the document, and

7

I think probably the real tribute to Delegate Hardwicke

8

and the Committee Chairman and the staff members who

9

worked on it is the fact that this Convention has been

10

able to consider and act upon that thirty-page document

11

in the relatively limited period of time in which we have

12

been able to act.

13

The Chair adds its thanks to both Delegate

14

Hardwicke and the staff members.

15

(Applause)

THE PRESIDENT: The question arises on the

17

motion to suspend interferring rules to permit consideration

18

of Amendment 12 to add Section 14 to Article 2 of the

19

Constitution as adopted on second reading. This is a

20

suspension of rules. A roll call vote is necessary.

Any delegates who do not have a copy of the amendment?
