COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE CHAIRMAN: First item on the
agenda for the Committee of the Whole is
the resumption of consideration of Com-
mittee Recommendation S&E-2.
Is Delegate Carson in the chamber? Is
Delegate Bamberger in the chamber?

Is your amendment with respect to sec-
tion 5 printed, Delegate Bamberger?
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Pages will distribute
Amendment AO.
Delegate Kosakowski.
DELEGATE KOSAKOWSKI: When we
recessed yesterday, we were in the midst
of discussing section 7. It would seem to
me that it would be better if we would go
through and go back to these other sections.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well. I thought
we could clear up the two amendments
from the earlier sections, but we can go
back to them.
We will hold Amendment AO and not
consider it at the present time.
At the time of recess yesterday, we con-
cluded the presentation on behalf of the
Committee and of the minority of the re-
spective positions with respect to section 7.
Do you have the amendment to be offered
by the minority?
Delegate Byrnes, I take it you would first
desire to offer your Amendment E?
DELEGATE BYRNES: No, Mr. Chair-
man, Amendment F.
THE CHAIRMAN: Pages will distribute
Amendment F. Amendment F will be
marked Amendment No. 14.
The Clerk will read the amendment.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 14
to Committee Recommendation No. S&E-2

General Elections in line 22 after the word
"State" add the words "and county"; and,
in line 27, strike out the word "county"
and insert in lieu thereof the words "Balti-
more City".
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Byrnes, the
Chair understands that you have four
amendments dealing with this section.
Is it your purpose to offer those as
alternates?
DELEGATE BYRNES: Mr. Chairman,
we are only offering Amendment F at this
point.
THE CHAIRMAN: Will the others be
offered later?
What I want to know is whether or not
the period of controlled debate is to per-
