1652 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF MARYLAND [Dec. 2]

DELEGATE GALLAGHER: I would
prefer to assist Delegate James from a
position of strength, which in my position
would be an affirmative vote against the
amendment.

THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair believes
this is the option of Delegate James. He
has the right under the rule to withdraw
the amendment.

DELEGATE GALLAGHER: 1 have one
suggestion. I think bond counsel could in-
crease their fees if they found the job to
become too onerous.

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate James.

DELEGATE JAMES: I am withdraw-
ing, but I am going to say to Delegate Gal-
lagher, it is excellent to have a giant's
strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like
a giant.

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gleason.

DELEGATE GLEASON: Let me say,
Mr. Chairman and fello\v colleagues, that
I am glad the sponsor has withdrawn his
amendment, and I will as one member of
that Committee work with him, to help
clarify this area that Delegate Case has
talked about.

I do believe that this transcript is a very
necessary 'thing and I would hate to have
it lost, but still I would hate to leave a
whole body of legal opinion up in the air,
so it will be worthwhile.

THE CHAIRMAN: For what purpose
does Delegate Storm rise?

DELEGATE STORM: To make a re-
quest of -the Committee when they are re-
considering this.

THE CHAIRMAN: I am sorry, I did not
understand you.

DELEGATE STORM: To make a re-
quest of the Committee when they are re-
considering this.

THE CHAIRMAN: State your sugges-
tion.

DELEGATE STORM: This was one sec-
tion that I wanted kept in this 3.17, one
sentence, because it has been one of the re-
grets of my life that when I served in
these hallowed halls, some of the words
then, when I was young and when I was
able to speak with real fervor, have not
been recorded for posterity, and I suggest
humbly to you that not always does the
printed word give the full effect that we
would like to get here. Please consider how

Hammacher and Schlemmer have a very
inexpensive little global T.V. set, and if
you could have the transcript on television
tape, so we could play it back, I would ap-
preciate it.

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Penniman.

DELEGATE PENNIMAN: Mr. Chair-
man, 1 would simply rise to ask if T could
get a clarification of what is the present
status.

Are we now saying that there will he a
compromise made, if so a compromise be-
tween whom about what, or is it a clari-
fication of what has already been decided?
1 am not at all clear. If it is a compromise,
does it come back before this Committee?

If you could clarify it for me, I would
be very happy.

THE CHAIRMAN: The present situa-
tion is that Amendment No. 20 was de-
feated, Amendment No. 21 is withdrawn,
section 3.17 is before the Committee of the
Whole in the form that it had before these;
amendments were submitted, but you have
a statement of intention on the part of the
Committee Chairman that he will submit
additional amendments.

Delegate Henderson, did you desire the
floor?

DELEGATE HENDERSON: No, sir.

THE CHAIRMAN: The pages will please
distribute amendment AJ. This \vill be
Amendment No. 22. The Clerk will read
the amendment.

READING CLERK: Amendment No. 22
to Committee Recommendation LB-2 by
Delegate Gallagher:

On page 4, section .'•>.! fi, Consideration of
Bills, in line ,'{«'-J strike the period and in-
sert in lieu thereof the following: ", nor
shall any"; and in line «M strike the word
"No"; and in the same line strike out the
word "shall".

THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment is
submitted by Delegate Gallagher.

Is there a second?
DELEGATE GLEASON7: I second.

THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment hav-
ing been seconded, the Chair recognizes
Delegate Gallagher to speak to the amend-
ment.

DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chair-
man and ladies and gentlemen, you will re-
member last evening when we were on, sec-
