Committee Recommendation SF-3 and
SF-4 are referred to the Committee on
Style, Drafting and Arrangement.
The Chair has been requested to have
the reading clerk read an announcement.
Will you please read this announcement?
READING CLERK: Announcement by
Delegates E. J. Clarke and Clagett.
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen of
the Convention :
It is with deep regret that we note the
death on December 3rd of T. Howard
Duckett. We commend to you the Washing-
ton Post editorial of December 5, 1967, en-
titled "T. Howard Duckett", which reads
in part as follows:
"Suburban Maryland had not yet
emerged from its turn-of-the-century
slumber when T. Howard Duckett began
his long career. He sensed that growth
would come and offered great opportuni-
ties. In Mr. Duckett's view, political
calm was essential to economic growth.
His death, at 87, deprives the suburbs of
one of the great captains of their
growth."
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any com-
mittee chairmen with announcements to
make?
Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. President,
the meeting; scheduled for the Executive
Branch Committee immediately after this
session has been cancelled. I think it will be
sometime tomorrow when it will be held.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
Delegate Penniman.
DELEGATE PENNIMAN: Meeting of
the Committee on Style has not been can-
celled. We will meet at about ten after
eight this evening.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
Are there any other announcements by
other delegates? Any delegates present now
not present at roll call may indicate their
presence on supplemental roll call. The
Clerk will record the supplemental roll call.
As all of you know, the first item on the
agenda for the Committee of the Whole
tomorrow is consideration of Committee
Recommendation S&E-2 and following that
consideration of Committee Recommenda-
|
tion R&P-1. The Chair would hope to con-
clude the consideration of Committee Rec-
ommendation S&E-2 in the morning or
shortly thereafter and be well into con-
sideration of Recommendation R&P-1 —
Delegate Sherbow.
DELEGATE SHERBOW: Mr. Chairman
— Mr. President, rather —
THE PRESIDENT: Sorry. There is for
consideration Committee Recommendation
SF-5 that will come ahead of S&E-2. The
Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.

morrow morning.
