the situation with respect to the Third
Legislative District, and, therefore, though
the rule requires that one session day fol-
lowing the President's announcement of the
vacancy elapse before the selection com-
mittee can move into action, I respectfully
suggest that the Convention move to sus-
pend the rules so as to permit the selec-
tion committee required by Rule 7I [77]
to begin its deliberations as soon as advised
by the President that he has received the
official announcement without requiring an-
other session of layover.
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair will
recognize you at tomorrow's session for the
purpose of making that motion and putting
it before us. Are there any announcements
by committee chairmen? Delegate Koss?
DELEGATE KOSS: Mr. President, the
Committee on Suffrage and Elections will
meet within 15 minutes after the adjourn-
ment of this session this afternoon, and
again tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., both
meetings to be held in the meeting room
in the Shaw House. I would also like to
take this opportunity to congratulate one
of the members of our committee on his
birthday today, Mr. James E. Soul. Thank
you. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
Delegate Morgan?
DELEGATE MORGAN: The Committee
on the Executive Branch will meet immedi-
ately following this session. We will have
two witnesses this afternoon, Mr. John

DELEGATE MUDD: Mr. President, the

immediately following this session. Un-
fortunately our schedule for this afternoon
has been changed, and we will not con-
sider Delegate Proposal 81, introduced by

P.M. today. At the request of the delegates
who introduced the proposal, it has been |
rescheduled for Tuesday morning at 10:00

Baltimore City and tomorrow morning we
are scheduled at 10:00 A.M. for hearing
from Judge O'Donnell and other judges of

Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: The Committee
on Personal Rights and the Preamble will
meet immediately after this meeting. Next
week will be devoted entirely to hearings on
due process. We have been required to
make the change in the original published
schedule to accommodate important out of
town witnesses, but the new schedule will
be published as soon as possible. If any-

ule one on that day, too. A great event
occurred this morning, the arrival of a
grandchild to Delegate Mitchell. I am
happy to announce that. (Applause.)
