as Justice Holmes put it in another context, there
has to be room to play in the joints. We don't mean
by the joints the Maryland Inn, but I think this standard
is a good one. One is always confronted with the
inadequacy of language and the difficulty of anticipat-
ing all the hypotheticals that could occur. We are
somewhat bolstered by the informal opinion of the
Attorney General that the rules are within the power of
the Convention and satisfies sufficiently from a
legal point of view. There might have been other ways
to do it, other standards that would accomplish the
same result but we believe this one administered with
common sense, and we know the President possesses that,
will suffice to get us through the three or four-month
period without any real squabbles, without any real
abuses, and with all the delegates continuing to attend
their work sessions as you have.
I therefore I have a point. There has
been a misspelling throughout. Some one of the
secretarial staff could not spell the word attendance.
There is no need to have a formal amendment in that
respect since you already have a resolution passed last |
