area of Allegany County, or in Cherry Hill,
Baltimore City. I, therefore, oppose this
amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: The question now
arises only on the Amendment No. 14, the
substitution of the language in Amendment
No. 14 for the language in the Committee
Recommendation. Thereafter, you will have
the opportunity to speak on the question
of whether you favor or do not favor the
recommendation at all. For what purpose
does Delegate Miller rise?
DELEGATE B. MILLER: I would like
to ask Chairman Kiefer what is the mean-
ing of "continual" in line 12.
THE CHAIRMAN : Delegate Kiefer, will
you take the floor to yield to a question?
DELEGATE KIEFER: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: State the question.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Would you
tell us what is it that the General Assem-
bly shall continue? To what do you refer?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: May I yield to
Delegate Mitchell who has it more at her
fingertips.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mitchell.
DELEGATE MITCHELL: In our de-
liberations in the Committee, we reviewed
the programs for workmen's compensation,
the programs for vocational rehabilitation
of the handicapped, and the other pro-
grams which the legislature has enacted as
the need grew so serious. The problem was
of such large proportion that they had to
act, but we felt that while the legislature
had —
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mitchell,
all Delegate Miller wants to know is what
programs you are speaking of. I think if
you continue the list you started to give
her, it would give her the answer to the
question.
DELEGATE MITCHELL: But we felt
that that was piecemeal, and that the Gen-
eral Assembly had just responded to crisis
needs, whereas we feel that there must be
a coordination of efforts between all three
branches of government and private in-
dustry to see that calamities do not happen
again.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well. Any fur-
ther questions?
Delegate Bamberger.
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: Mr. Chair-
man —

THE CHAIRMAN: I did not mean ques-
tions. I mean debate on Amendment No. 14.
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: I rise to
suggest to the House that we vote Aye to
this question and make it perfectly clear
that all we are asked to do now is to bring
before this House the recommendation of
the Committee, not to vote for or against it.
You see, the Committee has said we are
not so sure that the words in section 9
on the blue sheet are the words we want.
The words we want to present to you are
in Amendment No. 14. I should think we
should all vote Aye on that so as a matter
of procedure we will have before us the
Committee report.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are you ready for
the question?
(Call for the question.)
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 14 to Committee Recom-
mendation R&P-2.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amend-
ment No. 14. A vote No is a vote against.
This is merely on the substitution of the
language in 14 for the language in section
9 of the Committee Recommendation.
After your action on this amendment,
the Chair will submit to you an amendment
proposed by Delegate Scanlan to delete the
entire section. Are you ready for the
question?
(Call for the question.)
A vote Aye is a vote in favor. A vote
Aye is a vote in substitution of the lan-
guage in Amendment No. 14 for the lan-
guage in the Committee Recommendation.
It will then be subject to further amend-
ment. A vote No is a vote against the
substitution.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Does any del-
egate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 97 votes in the affirmative
and 13 in the negative, the motion carries.
The amendment is adopted. The language
of section 9 as it appears in Amendment
No. 14 is substituted for the language of
section 9 as it appears in Committee Rec-
ommendation R&P-2.
Delegate Scanlan, do you now desire to
offer your amendment, Amendment "S"?
