Attached to this report and circulated to
you is Article V of the proposed constitu-
tion, showing the amendments made by the
Committee of the Whole.
Report of the Committee of the Whole
No. 9. The Clerk will read the report.
READING CLERK: Report of the Com-
mittee of the Whole No. 9. This Report
covers matters in General Order No. 10:
A Report on Committee Recommendation
GP-4, Consumer Protection.
The Committee of the Whole has consid-
ered Committee Recommendation GP-4 and
has approved the recommendation as sub-
mitted.
THE PRESIDENT: The Report of the
Committee of the Whole No. 9 was hereto-
fore made orally, and the report referred
to the Committee on Style, Drafting, and
Arrangement.
There is no attachment to this report,
inasmuch as there were no changes made
in the Committee Recommendation.
In connection with the various commit-
tee recommendations which have heretofore
been filed, you have noted, I am sure, that
the various committees have reported on
numerous proposals to the effect that they
are covered by committee recommendations.
Rather than read across the desk these
reports covering more than 200 proposals
I have had the Clerk present to me memo-
randa listing these various proposals which
have been returned to him with the report
of the committee that they have been em-
braced in committee recommendations.
So that you will be -completely informed,
I am filing this memorandum with the jour-
nal clerk; copies have been reproduced and
will be on your desk this morning. This
will enable you to determine the final action
of the Committee of the Whole on each of
the proposals listed. Those not listed have
not yet been acted upon.
The journal clerk will please file the
memorandum.
The Chair is happy to recognize the pres-
ence in the gallery of 28 members of the
Great Mills High School, St. Mary's
County, Honor Society, here with their
teachers, Mrs. Sandra Brown and Mrs.
Mary Ann Richards. We are delighted to
have them with us today.
(Applause.)

If not, the Chair recognizes Delegate

Committee of the Whole for the purpose

(Whereupon, the motion was seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: All in favor, signify
by saying Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes
have it, and it is so ordered.
(Whereupon^ at 10:14 A.M., the Conven-

at-Arms.)
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
NOVEMBER 29, 1967—10:14 A.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE CHAIRMAN: The Committee of
the Whole will please come to order.
We will resume consideration of Commit-
tee Report EB-1, under Debate Schedule
No. 5. We have under consideration Rec-
ommendation No. 4 of Committee Report
EB-1 dealing with the office of Attorney
General, and particularly with Amendment
No. 6, that on page 1, line 26 of the com-
mittee report, strike out the word "not".
We are in debate, 20 minutes controlled
by Delegate Mason, and 20 minutes con-
trolled by Delegate Morgan; and then 30
minutes of uncontrolled, but limited debate.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Mason.
DELEGATE MASON: Mr. Chairman, I
would like to yield three minutes to Dele-
gate Henderson.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Henderson.
DELEGATE HENDERSON: Mr. Chair-
man and fellow Delegates: I am fully
aware of the difficulties and even dangers
of the elected and administrative officials
like the comptroller and state treasurer.
But I believe because of the quasi-judicial
position occupied by the attorney general
he stands in a wholly different category,
