The next item on the agenda is a report of the

2

Committee on Rules, Credentials and Convention Budget.

The Chair recognizes Delegate Alfred L. Scanlan, Chairman

of that Committee.

DELEGATE SCANLAN: Mr. President, we have filed

6

with the Acting Secretary and the Acting Chief Clerk the

7

original of our report. Due to difficulties with the re-

8

production facilities, quite beyond the control of the

9

Committee, I understand that copies are not yet on the

10

desks of the Delegates. I don't know what the pleasure

11

of the Chair would be, but I would suggest that since under

12

the rules, Rule 64 specifically, the Committee's recommen-

13

dations couldn't be considered by the Convention until

14

two session days had passed, that the matter lay over until

15

the appropriate spot on the agenda on Thursday, at the

16

Thursday meeting of the Convention; that is, if the report

17

is distributed to the Delegates before today's session

18

is ended, and if it is not, then I suppose we must lay it

19

over until Friday, but I put this problem to the Chair and

20

would abide by whatever the Convention would like to do.

21

I don't think the Convention would want me to attempt to

explain a report that it doesn't have before itand for
