THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Gallagher?
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Presi-
dent, the Committee on the Legislative
Branch will meet at quarter of three this
afternoon to consider a number of sub-
committee reports. We will meet tonight at
7:45 to hear from various members of
the General Assembly. We will meet tomor-
row morning at 9:30 A.M. to hear from

tional members of the General Assembly.
I report regretfully to you, Mr. President,
and, ladies and gentlemen of the Conven-
tion, that Delegate Royce Hanson has come
down with a case of mumps and will be
lost to us for approximately a week. To
those of you who may have been exposed
to him, my regrets.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Boyer?
DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. President,
the Committee on General Provisions will
continue its hearings on public education
this afternoon by hearing from Mr. Lloyd
Hoover, President of the Teachers Associa-
tion of Prince George's County. Tomorrow
morning we will engage on a new phase of
the educational process of higher education
by hearing tomorrow from Dr. Howard
Boozer. We will meet, the committee knows,
at 10:00 A.M. sharp.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements? Delegate Penniman?
DELEGATE PENNIMAN: Mr. Presi-
dent, I wish to announce that the Commit-
tee on Style will not meet this afternoon
as it was scheduled. The next meeting will
be on Monday afternoon at 3:15 P.M., at
which time we will select a vice chairman,
as well as conduct some other business.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Kiefer?
DELEGATE KIEFER: The Committee
on Personal Rights and the Preamble had |
not scheduled any further hearings this
week. We are beginning to shake down and
sift out some of these 60 odd proposals that
have been referred to this committee. We
are getting to do a little discussing and
maybe hopefully getting some of the issues
in the position that they can be submitted
to this Convention.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
Delegate Scanlan?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: Mr. President,
I am happy to announce the Rules Commit-
tee unanimously elected Clinton Bamberger
as Vice-Chairman at its meeting yesterday.
The next meeting of the committee will be
held at 12 noon tomorrow at which time
we will take up Delegate Hickman's Pro-
posal No. 4, Senator Malkus' "Mighty Oak"
Resolution, which I believe is Resolution
No. 5, and also the motion that has just
been distributed, I believe Motion No. 2, by
Delegates Johnson and Rybczynski.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Storm.
DELEGATE STORM: Mr. President, I
rise to announce or memorialize another
birth. One half of four score and several
years ago, our forefathers, or his father,
well, in fact, it was his mother brought
forth on this continent in the State of Mary-
land a man child destined to become one of
the most prominent of our citizens and a
member of this august body. I hope that in
adjourning today Chairman Powers will
properly recognize the birth of Samuel W.
Barrick.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements? There is one announcement
that I neglected to make that I am reminded
of, following Delegate Scanlan's announce-
ment as to the hearing by the Rules Com-
mittee. The documentary film, "Mighty
Oak," we thought would be here yesterday.
It is not. I do not know whether it arrived
today or not. If so, we will advise the dele-
gates there is a room set apart in the base-
ment of this building for the showing of
the documentary film to visiting groups. I
understand that it will accommodate at
best perhaps 50 people at a time. The only
larger room that is available to the Con-
vention for the showing of the film is the
principal hearing room but that will seat
approximately 100. The film, once it is here,
will remain here constantly and we will
schedule a number of showings so that all
delegates may see it. I have also asked the
producer of the film in Baltimore to send
us the written transcript of the dialogue
of the film and as soon as that is received, |
