PLENARY SESSION
OCTOBER 4, 1967 — 2:00 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Sergeant-at-
Arms will clear the aisles and close the
doors.
The Convention will please come to order.
The invocation today will be offered by
the Reverend R. C. Davis of the Church of
God, Pasadena, Maryland.
REVEREND DAVIS: Shall We Bow Our
Heads:
Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place
in all endeavors. Now we commit ourselves
to Thee this day. Let us not ask, "How
shall I bear the burden of tomorrow," but
rather, "Lord, give to us the solutions of
tomorrow." Lord, empty us of self that we
may see all men more clearly and that Thy
will may ever be before us in all decisions.
Thy power, Thy love, and Thy wisdom we
ask not only for ourselves but for every
man alike and may we see that every duty
we omit obscures some truth we should
have known. These favors we ask in Thy
name.
Amen.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.
Roll call.
(Whereupon the roll call was taken.)

Delegate Hanson, Delegate Lord, Delegate
Mosner, Delegate Sybert, Delegate Ritter. |
The Clerk will record the roll call.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers,
Chairman of the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
the Chairman of the Committee on Rules
has suggested that Item 5 (a) of the agenda
be deleted today for the reason that the
report is just now being distributed, and
it would be desirable to extend this until
tomorrow. I hasten to say that any connec-
tion between this and the baseball game
this afternoon is purely coincidental. There-
fore, I move the adoption of the Calendar
and Agenda, with this amendment.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye; contrary, No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered. The calendar
and the deleting of Item 5 is adopted.
Next item is the production and first
reading of proposals. There are twelve pro-
posals today, 277 to 288, inclusive.
Before we start reading the proposals, I
understand there is a memorandum to ac-
company Proposal No. 203, which has been
circulated today. It should be on your desk.
It is a two-sheet, four-page memorandum
by Delegates Case and Darby.
