that there is a journal kept for the body itself, anri the
action is recorded in that journal.
THE CHAIRMAN: When you sav a journal is kept for
the body itself, you mean not available to the public?
DELEGATE DELLA: That is true.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate crieason.
DELEGATE GLEASONr I assume what you are
sayinq in that connection is when the vote is recorded,
it is a total vote, not how people voted, as such. One of
the hazards that any man that aspires to any public
office has to encounter is the fict that his past is going
to be put to public scrutiny. There is just no wav
around this, and it is not right that there should be a way
around this. After all, we are looking for men of the great-
est inteqritv and the greatest character to head up these
departments, and the highest acrencies of the Senate. I
am not for someone getting up on the floor of the
Senate and attacking someone's character. The purpose
of the public body is to bring these things into public.
DELEGATE JAMES: Mr. Chairman.
THE CHAIP.MAN: Delegate James.
