the Whole was about to take up the Majority Report,
certainly upon appropriate motion, made by the spokesman
for the Minority, the matter could be postponed and
could be set as a special order of business on a day
certain, namely, one or two days after the Minority Report
is distributed to the deals. If the request was reason-
able, certainly a majority of the delegates would approve
it. If it was used, for instance, in a situation where
there had been a ten day, where the Majority Report had laid
in the Committee of the Whole nor ten days and on the
tenth day the Minority comes forth and says, Well, we
really haven't had an opportunity to draft our Minority
Report, well, in that sort of a situation, the majority of
the delegates might well question the bona fides of such a
belated request. In any event, it would be something
that would repose in the collective judgment of the
majority of the delegates to this Convention. So in
short, we believe that the Rules as they now stand provide
adequate protection, and furnish a guarantee that the
Minority Report will be printed and treated equally with
the Majority Report in the opportunity to reach the floor |
