ing group. More and more of us are getting
past sixty-five.
I think the constitution perhaps ought to
run through a long list of special groups of
people and set forth certain constitutional
rights.
It seems to me that we would be well ad-
vised to support this amendment.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Sollins, do
you desire to speak in opposition?
DELEGATE SOLLINS: I move the pre-
vious question.
THE PRESIDENT: The motion to order
the previous question has been duly
seconded.
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.
The question arises on the motion to
order the previous question on the adoption
of Amendment No. 5. A vote Aye is a vote
in favor of ordering the previous question.
A vote No is a vote against.
All in favor signify by saying Aye; con-
trary, No.
The Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 5. The vote Aye is a vote
in favor of the amendment. A vote No is a
vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 61 votes in the affirmative
and 55 in the negative, the motion is car-
ried. The amendment is adopted.
DELEGATE HARRIS: Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Harris.
DELEGATE HARRIS: In reaching over
and pushing my button, inadvertently I
pushed it wrong. I had some cough drops
here. I voted for the amendment, and I
wish to be recorded as voting against.
(Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Clerk.
Delegate Harris is recorded as voting
against and not in favor. The tally is 60
votes in the affirmative; 56 votes in the
negative. The motion is carried. The amend-
ment is adopted.

I take it, Delegate Hostetter, you do not
desire to offer your Amendment M?
DELEGATE HOSTETTER: That is
correct, sir, I do not.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Scanlan,
you do not desire to offer your Amendment
W or any version of it?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: No, I do not
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Marvin
Smith, you do not desire to offer your
Amendment P?
DELEGATE MARVIN SMITH: No, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: And Delegate Kiefer,
your amendment becomes inappropriate.
Delegate Beatrice Miller.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Mr. Chairman,
I would ask, and I do not know how to do
this parliamentarily, but I would ask at
some point before we conclude this section
that there be reconsideration. I think there
were points that were not made in con-
sideration of this, and it is far too impor-
tant to take it just on this vote.
THE PRESIDENT: You are speaking of
reconsideration of the vote just taken ?
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: It is in order now if
you desire to make the motion.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: I would pre-
fer to wait a few minutes. I think the point
was made that some people were not here.
I would rather wait until later in the after-
noon, if possible.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well. Keep in
mind that if the motion is made before
action on this recommendation, it need not
lay over. If it comes after that time, it
must lay over for two days under the rule.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: I would like to
make the motion to reconsider before we
take action on the entire proposal.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well.
Delegate Key, you have indicated to the
Chair that you desire to move to reconsider
the vote by which Amendment No. 1 was
passed. Do you desire to do that at this
time?
DELEGATE KEY: Yes, I do.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Key desires
to move to reconsider the vote by which
Amendment No. 1 was adopted. Is there a
second ?
