THE CHAIRMAN: State the privilege.
DELEGATE H. TAYLOR: For the last few days, I have
tried to get the floor, and this is no criticism of the
Chair, because I haven't been able to get out of my seat.
Some of the Delegates here seem to have springs/their hip
pockets and by the time I get my hand on the mike and raise
/ handf there are usually five people standing, by the
time the fast starters have run out of wind, the consensus
has been reached in the back row and I find out that this is
usually irrevocable and therefore I save my breath.
But yesterday, in trying to speed up my grab for
f
the mike, I slipped a disc in my back, and I was wondering
whether or not there is any Workmen's Compensation , or
l
similar provision, to take care of us Constitutional
Convention casualties. But, for the next few days, my good
friend. Delegate Taylor, who is younger than I and bigger
than I and, therefore, easier to see, has agreed if I am
unable to sublimate any inclination to talk on every subject
that comes before us to take the floor for me and transfer
it to me and I would be very grateful to the Chair if they
would permit this arrangement for the next two days. (Laughter
