DELEGATE CASE: Mr. Chairman, so that the record
can be absolutely straight on this subject, could it show
that the words, in writing, are intended to embrace the
procedure which has been described here by Delegates
Gallagher and Della and Gleason and James, or some varia-
tion of that procedure, but in any event do not mean hand-
written script as a quote, in writing amendment , quote,
which would be permissive.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Case, the Chair thinks
two things are embraced in your comment. I think everyone
recognizes that the procedure outlined by Delegate James
and Delegate Della is largely a matter of the rules of the
several houses, and I did not understand from the Chairman
of this committee that it was intended by these words to
require that a copy of the written amendment be on every-
body's desk. That would still be left to rule.
The second part of your question I think is
correct, namely, that it is intended by the use of the
words, in writing, to mean something other than handwritten
script; whether it be by typewriter, by letter press or
offset, or multigraph or anything of the sort, and I take it
