i THE CHAIRMAN: For what purpose does Delegate
' Scanlan rise?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: Reluctantly to speak in
' favor of the motion, and more reluctantly, to say this:
All the arguments pro and con have been made very well.
Unfortunately I think I speak for a lot of delegates in
this room when I say in all candidness that the debates
' in the last day and a half have all degenerated. We have
i '
heard about Hamilton and Jefferson, we have heard about
Maryland
crime in Washington, and crime in/-~ slot machines in Anne
Arundel, and mysterious phone calls.
Whatever we do, let us stop the debate which
has degenerated from a debate, which, up to now, has been
high-quality debate, worthy of any Constitutional Conven-
i lion.
i THE CHAIRMAN: Are you ready for the question?
Ring the quorum bell.
The question arises on the motion to reconsider
the vote of 72 to 66 by which Committee Recommendation No.
2 was approved as amended, and to reconsider the vote of
70 to 68 by which Recommendation No. 2 was amended.
