THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment has

the amendment.
Delegate Taylor.
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: Mr. Chair-
man, I would just like to say that I prefer
to discuss this amendment after dinner,
but I would like to amend this particular
amendment, to delete the second clause of
the amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: Beginning on line 8?
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: Yes, on
line 8.
THE CHAIRMAN: Strike the language
beginning with the semicolon?
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: The rest of that line,
all of line 9 and all of line 10 except the
period?
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: Yes, and I
would like to add "and social status" in
view of the fact that the minority report —
THE CHAIRMAN: Where do you wish
to add that? I do not want you to debate it.
Tell us what you want to do with the
amendment?
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: After "sta-
tus", the word "status".
THE CHAIRMAN: What do you want
to add after the word "status"?
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: "and social
status".
THE CHAIRMAN: Do you mean "and"
or "or"?
|
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: "Or" would
be more correct, I believe.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objec-
tion to the amendment being modified in
the manner indicated?
The Chair hears none. The amendment
as modified will strike out beginning on
line 8 with the semicolon, the rest of the
line, all of line 9, then line 10, other than
the period, and insert in lieu thereof the
words, "or social status".
Will you please mark your copy?
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.

by saying Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes

of the Whole rose, and the Convention re-
convened.)

at-Arms.)
