I must urge that if this amendment
should pass, the language is not much bet-
ter than the original language. Once again
we have elevated into the constitution some-
thing that has always been statutory and
has never been in the constitution and adds
nothing and for the reasons already put
forth and for the reasons that have already
been stated by Delegate Moser, I urge that
you support the amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Clerk will ring
the quorum bell.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 5 to Committee Recom-
mendation GP-6. Amendment No. 5 would
delete all of section 5 as section 5 has been
amended by Amendments 6, 7, and 8. You
are, therefore, voting on the deletion of the
section versus the section as amended
The question now is on Amendment No.
5 to delete the section. A vote Aye is a vote
for Amendment No. 5 to delete. A vote No
is a vote against. Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted?
DELEGATE J. CLARK: I vote Aye.
THE CHAIRMAN: Has every delegate
voted?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?
(There was no response.)
The clerk will record the vote.
There being 74 votes in the affirmative
and 35 in the negative, the motion carries.
The amendment is adopted.
This concludes the consideration of this
item on the agenda.
I announced that wrong, forgetting that
Delegate Clark had voted orally. It is 75 in
the affirmative and 35 in the negative.
We will resume consideration of the re-
maining sections at the next sitting of the
Committe of the Whole. The 'Chair recog nizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman, I
move that the Committee of the Whole
rise and report that it has not yet con-
cluded consideration of Committee Recom-
mendation GP-6.
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: All those in favor
signify by saying Aye; contrary No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered.

(Whereupon, at 7:35 P.M., t he Committee
of the Whole rose, and the Convention re-
convened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
