THE SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT: I
will ask the Clerk to record Delegate—no,
I think probably the best way would be to
do it on the tape. Use the microphone and
tell the mike no.
DELEGATE MALKUS: Mr. President,
with your kind permission, I would like to
be recorded as having voted in the nega-
tive on the committee report now before us.
THE SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT:

DELEGATE SCANLAN: Committee
Report No. 11, Mr. President.
THE SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT:
Committee Report No. 11 of the Rules
Committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I
assume there are no further questions.
Thumbing through the item of business
of introduction and first reading of pro-
posals, I would first like to say that Dele-
gate Finch has placed six memoranda on
your desks. They are available for intense
scrutiny and study.
We have one delegate proposal, No. 402.
The Clerk will read the proposal.
READING CLERK: Delegate Proposal

A PROPOSAL that the General Assem-
bly shall be redistricted by a. commission
on redistricting.
THE SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT:
Legislative Branch reference.
Motions and resolutions. Any motions or
resolutions?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: One delegate
called attention to the fact that I do not
believe you announced what the vote was
on the question of the adoption of the Com-
mittee Report No. 11. While Senator
Malkus' no was recorded, I don't know
whether the vote was announced.
THE SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT:
The point is well taken. The motion carries.
The report is adopted.
Would the clerk read the numbers of the
memoranda accompanying proposals by
Delegate Finch.
