Chairman of the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
word has been received that Delegate Quin-
tin T. Eckenrode and Mrs. Eckenrode are
today celebrating their 25th wedding anni-
versary. When the time comes for adjourn-
ment this evening, I propose to move that
we adjourn in honor of this happy couple,
and now I move, Mr. President, that the
daily Calendar and Agenda be adopted.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Any discussion? All
those in favor, signify by saying Aye; con-
trary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered. The calendar is adopted.
The next item of business which is part
of the regular order of business, but does
not appear on the agenda, because it does
not require any action, except reference, is
the report of the Committee on Rules. I
understand that the third report of the
Committee on Rules, Credentials and Con-
vention Budget is on the desks of the dele-
gates. Is that correct, Mr. Clerk?

THE PRESIDENT: Do you have the re-
port?
The Clerk will read the report.

Convention Budget, concerning compensa-
tion of delegates.

dent, I do not believe the third report of

at least, this section of the room does not
have it.

understood it was on your desks.
