Mentzer.

4

DELEGATE MENTZER: Mr. President, this amendment

5

borders on one on style and I apologize in some way for

6

taking up the time of the Convention with it.

7

However, I believe all of us had hoped that

8

there would be grace and lilt in all sections of the

9

Constitution and we oftentimes abandoned this for the

10

sake of accuracy and clarity.

11

We feel we can add somewhat to the natural

12

beauty of this sentence by adopting this amendment.

THE PRESIDENT: Is there any discussion?

14

Are you ready for the question?

The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.

18

ask a question of the sponsor?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes.

Delegate Mentzer, do you yield to a question?

21
