Does any delegate desire to change his
vote? The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 59 votes in the affirmative
and 60 in the negative, the motion is lost.
The amendment is rejected.
Are there any announcements necessary
to be made by committee chairmen before
we recess for dinner? Are there any an-
nouncements by anyone else?
Any delegate present now not present at
roll call may indicate his presence by sup-
plemental roll call.
Delegate James Clark.
DELEGATE J. CLARK: My machine
did not register that time, Mr. Chairman,
and I vote Aye.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate James
Clark voted Aye. There being a tie vote,
the amendment is still rejected.
Delegate Borom?
DELEGATE BOROM: Personal privi-
lege, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: State the privilege.
DELEGATE BOROM: Delegate White,
who is efficient and thorough, goofed, and
he is going to have to account for it when
he goes home tonight. He failed to intro-
duce his nieces and nephew, Libby, Rosie,
and Emerson Julian, Jr., who are in the
balcony also. I hope you will welcome them.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Dulany.
DELEGATE DULANY: Mr. President,
the meeting of the Committee on Public
Information, scheduled for this evening, is
cancelled. It is rescheduled for eleven
o'clock tomorrow morning.
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE DULANY: I would also
like to recognize in the balcony an ob-
server, Professor Robert Neal, from the
Mt. St. Mary's College in Emmitsburg.
THE PRESIDENT: We are delighted to
have you.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move we recess until 8:00 P.M.

THE PRESIDENT: Let me remind you
before we recess that the section 1.17 is
still before you. Immediately after the
recess, we will consider the other amend-
ments.
All in favor of the motion to recess sig-
nify by saying Aye; contrary No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 0:26 P.M., the Conven-
tion was recessed to reconvene at S :00 P.M.
on the same evening.)
PLENARY SESSION
DECEMBER 29, 1967—8:25 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Sergeant-at-
Arms will clear the aisles and close the
doors.
The Convention will please come to order.
Roll call.
(Whereupon the roll call was taken.)
Has every delegate answered roll call?
The Clerk will record the roll call.
There being a quorum present, the Con-
vention is in session.
We resume consideration of the report of
the Committee on Style, Drafting, and Ar-
rangement with respect to Committee Rec-
ommendations R&P-1 and R&P-2.
As announced just prior to the dinner
recess, we would still have under consid-
eration section 1.17. The three amendments
thus far passed up to the Chair would be
in order. The Chair has been advised that
there will be at least three motions to re-
consider the vote on Amendment No. 5.
In view of the closeness of the vote, it is
perfectly obvious that to consider the mat-
ter further at this time will result only in
a great loss of time and effort and slow
down the work of the Convention consid-
erably. There have been conversations go-
ing on over the dinner recess in an effort
to see whether or not it is possible to reach
substantial accord on a proposition that
would receive the approval of the great ma-
jority of delegates.
It is certainly not possible nor desirable
to try to do this in a matter of a few
minutes. We undoubtedly will have to sit
