vote Aye is a vote in favor of the amend-
ments. 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.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 101 votes in the affirmative
and none in the negative, the motion carries.
The amendments recommended by the Com-
mittee on Style, Drafting and Arrangement
are adopted.
Committee Recommendation GP-2 as
amended is now open to further amendment.
The Chair has received several amend-
ments.
Delegate Cardin, apparently your Amend-
ments A and C are identical except for the
names of the sponsors. Is C the one you
desire to offer?
DELEGATE CARDIN: Yes, please, Mr.
Chairman.
T.HE PRESIDENT: The pages will please
distribute Amendment C.
Delegate Beall.
DELEGATE BEALL: This is the first
time 1 have been on the floor. You have
not heard me for three months, but I do
have the pleasure of introducing Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Barton. Mr. Barton is a mem-
ber of the Home Economics Commission
recently appointed, some two years ago, by
the late Governor Tawes.
(Laughter.)
Pardon me. I should say the former gov-
ernor. I beg your pardon.
THE PRESIDENT: He appears to be
very much alive.
DELEGATE BEALL: I am so glad that
he is still available and here. I apologize. I
should just say the former governor. I do
know better than that.
Also, his wife, Mrs. Barton, who has been
very active in the Homemakers Association.
Mr. and Mrs. Barton are in the rear gallery.
THE PRESIDENT: We are delighted to
have them.
(Applause.)
This will be Amendment No. 1.
For what purpose does Delegate Johnson
rise ?
|
DELEGATE JOHNSON: Mr. President,
I am going to suggest a departure from the
ordinary procedure. But inasmuch as the
original sponsor of the amendment in the
Committee of the Whole with respect to
the parenthesis "(in the presence of Al-
mighty God)" is not in the room, and I
do not know why he is absent but I am
sure there is a very good reason, and be-
cause there is apparently another amend-
ment to this section — I am wondering if we
could bypass this particular amendment at
this time and go to the next amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: Do you have any idea
where Delegate Rybczynski is ?
DELEGATE JOHNSON: No, sir. I am
sorry. I do not.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Cardin.
DELEGATE CARDIN: Mr. President, the
Committee on Suffrage and Elections was
entertained by Chairman Koss, and Dele-
gate Rybczynski. I am sure they will be
coming very shortly.
THE PRESIDENT: Under the circum-
stances, further consideration of Recom-
mendation GP-2 and Amendment No. 2 plus
other amendments with respect thereto will
be passed over.
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair feels that
Delegate Rybczynski needs a little time to
collect his thoughts.
We will proceed with the consideration
of the Report of the Committee on Style,
Drafting and Arrangement, S&D-5.
This is with respect to Committee Recom-
mendation GP-4.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Penniman.
DELEGATE PENNIMAN: This is much
less complicated. The only changes that are
being made here is to shift the word "by
law'' in order not to divide a verb, and to
put in upper case the letter "S" in the
word "State."
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair has re-
ceived no stylistic amendments. Are there
any? The Chair hears none.
The question arises on the approval of
amendments proposed by the Committee. Is
there any discussion ?
Delegate Macdonald.
DELEGATE MACDONALD: May I ask
the Chairman of the Committee on Style
a question?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. State the ques-
tion.
