sentence, that the Committee has adopted all final Committee
votes on all bills, Mr. Chairman, I don't know how that could
be even carried out.
Now, if a bill is sent to a Committee, you only
need three signatures in the Senate to bring it out. Now,
if you can't get three signatures on a bill that is in a
Committee with an unfavorable report. Lord help the bill.
Now, in the House, to recall a bill from a
Committee, that requires 15 signatures. I think we are
getting into serious deep water, especially when, or if you
consiucr bonds. I don't know whether this particular phrase
requires the Committee to have a journal and whether tnose
votes must be recorded in that journal of that Committee, o:
' when the Chairman must report that a Committee had acted on
a bill which they may have voted unfavorable today, that
they can reconsider tomorrow and bring it out with a favorable
report, hat I think you are doing is littering, frankly
filling up the journal of that particular House with a lot
of reports that may be changed from one day to another, and
tnen I come to the responsibility of the Chairman himself. |
