THE PRESIDENT: For what purpose
does Delegate B. Miller arise?
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Mr. Chair-
man, the footnotes on 383 and 384 have
been misplaced. They—each one should be
on the other proposal.
THE PRESIDENT: I understand, Dele-
gate Miller, that the footnote on Delegate
Proposal No. 383 states that it amends
Delegate Proposal No. 314; but should be
on 384.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: And the footnote
on 384 referring to Delegate Proposal 31I
should be on 383?
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: I think the simplest
thing would be to reprint and substitute
and see that the pages make the substitu-
tion tomorrow.
