(Laughter. )
THE CHAIRMAN: The entire amend-
ment was rejected.
(Laughter. )
We will return to section 4. 03 at a later
time. Are there any further amendments
to section 4. 17?
Mr. Boileau.
DELEGATE BOILEAU: Mr. Chairman,
may I ask a question of Delegate Storm?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Storm, will
you yield to a question?
DELEGATE STORM: Absolutely.
THE CHAIRMAN: State your question.
DELEGATE BOILEAU: Can we ex-
pect similar amendments as to the comp-
troller and attorney general?
DELEGATE STORM: Maybe I shouldn't
announce this today, but I think all the
motions along that line have been re-
jected so I need not solve anything.
THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Morgan?
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. Chairman,
I have an amendment to offer immediately
following section 4. 17.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other
amendments to section 4. 17?
The Chair hears none.
Delegate Morgan, you may offer your
amendment.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. Chairman,
the amendment that I want to offer, un-
fortunately, got printed as two amend-
ments but it is one amendment. Could it
possibly be considered as one amendment
and read as one amendment?
THE CHAIRMAN: They are two differ-
ent sections. I think it would be proper to
offer them separately but we can distribute
them together. Please let the page know
which amendment so she can see that they
are distributed.
These amendments will be respectively
Nos. 7 and 8, the shorter amendment that
ends on line 12 will be No. 7, the one end-
ing on line 26 will be No. 8.
The Chair understands from Delegate
Morgan that Amendment No. 7 had been
modified to read as follows: On page G in-
stead of 10, following section 4. 17 strike
the words "state's attorney" and insert the
word "insert" so it reads:
|
"On page 6 following section 4. 17 insert
the following new section: "
A similar change will be made in Amend-
ment No. 8. It will read: "On page 6 fol-
lowing section 4. 17 insert the following
new section: "
If both amendments are adopted, the
Committee on Style will, of course, have to
decide which followed the other and give
them proper numbers.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. President—
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: I suggest that
in Amendment No. 7 in line 3, you can
strike out the figure "4" so it will be
THE CHAIRMAN: In line 3 strike out
the figure "4" so it reads section and
the same thing in Amendment No. 8.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Yes, the same
thing in Amendment No. 8.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well, the
amendment being seconded, the Chair rec-
ognizes Delegate Morgan to speak to the
amendment.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. President,
can we have the two amendments read
together?
THE CHAIRMAN: Yes.
DELEGATE MORGAN: First Amend-
ment No. 7 and then Amendment No. 8.
THE CHAIRMAN: I will ask the Clerk
to read Amendment No. 7 and then Amend-
ment No. 8. Although we will act on the
amendments separately they will both be
before you at the same time.
The Clerk will read Amendment No. 7.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 7
to Committee Recommendation EB-1, by
Delegates Morgan, Adkins, Beall, Boileau,
Boyce, Buzzell, Dorsey, Finch, Fornos,
