of this Convention, and for that reason, your Committee has
reported Motion No. 2 unfavorably, both in the original
form as distributed to you on September 27 and as modified
in the discussions before our Committee with the sponsors
of the motion.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any questions of the
committee chairmen for purposes of clarification? Dele-
gate Johnson?
DELEGATE JOHNSON: Mr. President, Mr. Chairman,
isn't it a fact that Rule 28 deals with Majority and
Minority Reports, and the amendment thereto, namely
Rule 28(a) deals only with Majority Reports?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: That is correct. Rule 23(a),
as it now stands, only imposes a limitation on the
Majority Report. That is, the November 17 cutoff applies
in terms only to committee Majority Reports. I agree.
So if a committee Majority Report came in on November 17,
then the Minority under the present rules would have at
least three days in which to prepare their reports, since
under Rule 51 there has to be a three session day layover
before the Committee of the Whole could take it up. |
