"The governor may reduce or strike out
any item in a supplementary appropriation
bill. Each item or portion of an item not
disapproved shall become law, and each
item or portion of an item disapproved
shall be subject to the same procedure as a
bill vetoed by the governor."
THE PRESIDENT: Amendment No. 1
is submitted by Delegate Marion, seconded
by Delegate Morgan.
Delegate Morgan, the Chairman of the
Committee, and Delegate Penniman, Chair-
man of the Committee on Style both are in
agreement that the amendment should be
adopted and supersede the Committee
Recommendation.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amend-
ment No. 1. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
The pages will please distribute Amend-
ment No. 1 to the delegates who do not
have copies.
Will you please get some copies of
Amendment F? Delegates who do not have
a copy please indicate.
Has every delegate voted?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?
(There was uo response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 89 votes in the affirmative
and none in the negative, the motion is car-
ried and the amendment is adopted.
I skipped over 4.06 and 4.07. Are there
any amendments to those sections?
4.08? 4.15? 4.16? 4.17? 4.18? 4.19? 4.20?
4.21? 4.22? 4.23? 4.24?
Delegate Marion.
DELEGATE MARION: Again, Mr.
President, I think that Amendment E as to
section 4.24 is a style amendment.
THE PRESIDENT: It may be, but it
does not pertain to the amendments sug-
gested by the Committee and it is not in
order at this time. I will recognize you.
Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: I wanted to
take issue with Delegate Marion.
THE PRESIDENT: Would you state
that again?
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. President,
I just wanted to take issue with Delegate
Marion about its being a style amendment.

THE PRESIDENT: Very well.
Are there any amendments to style on
4.25?
Delegate Burdette.
DELEGATE BURDETTE: Before we
get entirely beyond the question, I wonder
if even out of order I might ask Delegate
Marion and the Chair about the amend-
ment which we just passed.
THE PRESIDENT: I am not sure that
I follow what you mean.
DELEGATE BURDETTE: I do not
have the number, but it applies to section
4.14. Apparently it is Amendment No. 1.
I am not sure that it is clear here — it
may be — that when the governor has
reduced or stricken out he has disapproved.
In the last three lines, "and each item or
portion of an item disapproved shall be
subject to the same procedure," does that
disapprove mean the same thing as "re-
duce" or "strike out"?
I did not want it to go through without
attention.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Marion.
DELEGATE MARION: Mr. President,
that was certainly the intention we had,
and when the Committee voted on this lan-
guage, it was with that thought in mind
that we approved this wording, which in-
cluded the word "disapproved" in two
places in the amendment.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Burdette.
DELEGATE BURDETTE: I think there
may be some doubt about this, but. Mr.
President, I do not want to obstruct the
proceedings. I simply want to flag things,
problems that in less dignified occasions are
sometimes called goofs.
THE PRESIDENT: Any amendments to
section 4.26? 4.27?
Delegate Marion.
DELEGATE MARION: Amendment B
to 4.26.
THE PRESIDENT: I am not sure from
a quick glance whether it is style or sub-
stantive. What you are doing is to change
the sentence so it refers to executive order
in the singular, rather than the plural. Is
it purely stylistic?
DELEGATE MARION: It is intended
to be. I understand Chairman Morgan has
no objection to it.
