THE PRESIDENT: The first item for
consideration tonight on the agenda will be
Item 9 on the agenda, consideration of the
report by the Committee of the Whole on
Committee Report EB-1. You will recall
that Committee Report EB-1 had five rec-
ommendations. The Committee of the Whole
Report with respect to each of them was
that the first recommendation, pertaining
to a Board of Review, be approved as
amended; the second recommendation, per-
taining to the office of comptroller, be ap-
proved as amended; the third recommenda-
tion, pertaining to the office of treasurer,
be approved as amended; the fourth rec-
ommendation, pertaining to the office of
attorney general, be approved as amended ;
and the fifth recommendation, pertaining
to certain other officers, be approved.
The Chair's attention has been called to
the fact that it stated in error the Recom-
mendation of the Committee of the Whole
with respect to the third Recommendation
of the Committee being approved as
amended. It was approved as presented. It
was not amended.
The question arises on the adoption of
the Report of the Committee of the Whole
with respect to Committee Report EB-1.
Is there any discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question ?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the adoption of
the Committee of the Whole Report with
respect to Committee Report EB-1.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Report
EB-1. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
