it not have the same privileges as the ma-
jority report? Why should it not be al-
lowed to come in automatically within a
certain number of days?
This being the case, Mr. President and
Mr. Chairman, I move that the report be
tabled at this time to allow the delegates
further opportunity for study.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Rybczyn-
ski, so you mean to move to table or to
recommit? You could do either, of course.
DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: To table,
Mr. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
DELEGATE CLAGETT: Second.
THE PRESIDENT: The motion is not
debatable. Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the motion to
table further consideration of Rule No. 2.
A vote Aye is a vote to table. A vote No,
of course, is not in favor of it. We will
have a roll call vote.
Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate, desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 62 votes in the affirmative
and 54 votes in the negative, the motion
carries. Motion No. 2 is tabled.
The next item of business is introduction
and first reading of proposals.
Before we start, I call your attention to
the fact that there has been circulated to-
day a memorandum by Delegate Byrnes to
accompany Delegate Proposal No. 57. You
should have that on your desk.
There are twenty proposals today, Nos.
289 to 308. Delegate Proposal No. 289. The
