and constant challenges as we work toward
a satisfying and fulfilling conclusion to all
of our endeavors.
In the name of the One God who we ex-
perience through our concern and under-
standing of one another, we pray, Amen.
THE PRESIDENT: Roll call.
(Whereupon, the roll was called.)
THE PRESIDENT: Have all delegates
answered roll call?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the roll call.
There being a quorum present, the Con-
vention is in session.
The Chair recognizes Chairman Powers,
Chairman of the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President, I
move the adoption of today's calendar.
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: All those in favor
signify by saying Aye; those opposed, No.
The Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
Are there any reports of the committees ?
READING CLERK: No.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any papers
to be read across the desk?
READING CLERK: No.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any mo-
tions or resolutions?
(There was no response.)
The Chair has two brief announcements
to be made.
Editing of the transcript is proceeding,
albeit slowly, under the direct supervision
of Miss Mary Anne Krupsak. She is mak-
ing only such changes as are necessary and
it is not practically possible to have her
submit the transcript to every delegate.
However, there are places where either
because the delegate did not express himself
clearly or because the reporter did not hear
or understand him, it is not clear as to
what is intended.
In these relatively few instances, it will
be necessary for Miss Krupsak to talk to
the delegate. She will do this by sending
you a note during the session. I ask that
you go back to the lounge and speak to her.
|
In most instances, she will need your at-
tention but for a minute or two. If it is
longer than that, will you please make an
appointment to see her during recess so
that you will not be out of the chamber
for more than a few minutes.
The Chief Page has also asked me to re-
quest of all delegates that they please do
not disturb the piles of amendments on the
tables in the lounge.
They have in the past few days been dis-
turbed by delegates trying to find copies.
They get out of order. This results in con-
fusion on the floor and the passing out of
the wrong amendments.
If you want an amendment, ask the page.
Please do not undertake to get it yourself.
This is particularly true at the recess hour,
when the Chief Page is not there. Please
do not disturb the amendments on the table.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers,
Chairman of the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President, I
move that the Convention resolve itself into
a Committee of the Whole so that we may
consider the General Orders of the day.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: All those in favor
signify by saying Aye; opposed, No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 10:15 A.M., the Conven-
tion resolved itself into the Committee of
the Whole.)
(The mace was removed by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
DECEMBER 14, 1967—10:15 A.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE CHAIRMAN: The Committee of the
Whole will please come to order.
For what purpose does Delegate Price
rise ?
DELEGATE PRICE: For a point of per-
sonal privilege, please.
THE CHAIRMAN: State the privilege.
DELEGATE PRICE: Before we get un-
derway, I would like for the group to wel-
