THE CHAIRMAN: Following the next speaker for
the proponents.
Delegate Gilchrist.
DELEGATE GILCHPIST: I yield three minutes to a
man who has probably had more experience with the machinery
of legislation than any other man in the room, Pe]eaate
Della.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: Mr. Chairman, Delegates of the
Convention, I think we are on the right path of trying to
create a legislative body that is going to have a good
image with the public. When you take a 40-member Senate
and say the least number of those members of 1I can pass a
biJI in the Senate oecause if you have 21 as your quorum
and a majority of your 2I would be 11, now ordinarily under
our present procedure and under our present Constitution,
it would take 21 members to pass a bill to makp it consti-
tutional .
In the House, we have 120, a Quorum is I, and
under the proposal by the majorit o the committee it
would only require 31 members out of a body of 120.
