I would like to direct a question, if I may,
to the Chairman of the Executive Branch
Committee, Chairman Morgan.
THE PRESIDENT: Does it have any
bearing on the question of style?
DELEGATE BYRNES: Yes, it does.
THE PRESIDENT: What is the section?
DELEGATE BYRNES: Section 4.17.
THE PRESIDENT: State the question.
DELEGATE BYRNES: Chairman Mor-
gan, in section 4.17, line 18, I understand
the phrase "date after passag-e" means a
date later than a date of passage over the
veto. Is that a true interpretation?
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: That is correct.
That is passage over the veto.
DELEGATE BYRNES: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: The question now
arises on the adoption of the amendments
recommended by the Committee on Style
with respect to Committee Recommenda-
tion EB-1 and EB-2. The clerk will ring the
quorum bell.
Delegate Burdette.
DELEGATE BURDETTE: I want to
be sure that in our procedure we are pro-
tecting Delegate Adkins' request that 4.17
have some attention. I want you to make
any comment that you want that does pro-
tect that.
THE PRESIDENT: I do not think that
we will get to the point of finally having
adopted EB-1 and EB-2 tonight, and I think
he will therefore have the opportunity.
If we do, I will flag it for him.
The question arises on the adoption of
the amendments recommended by the Com-
mittee on Style with respect to EB-1 and
EB-2 as modified. A vote Aye is a vote in
favor of the Committee Recommendation,
the amendments recommended by the Com-
mittee; a vote No is a vote against the
amendments.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Does any
delegate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 95 votes in the affirmative
and 0 in the negative, the amendments to
|
Committee Recommendation EB-1 and
EB-2, recommended by the Committee on
Style, are adopted.
Committee Recommendations EB-1 and
EB-2 are now open to further amendment.
Are there any amendments with respect
to section 4.01?
The Chair hears none.
Are there amendments with respect to
section 4.02?
The Chair hears none.
Are there any amendments with respect
to section 4.03 ?
The Chair hears none.
Are there any amendments with respect
to section 4.04?
Delegate Morgan, you have an amend-
ment? I do not have a letter for it. I am
trying to find out if it is printed.
DELEGATE MORGAN: It is a letter

THE PRESIDENT: I have one that says
"To replace G''.
DELEGATE MORGAN: It is letter "T".
THE PRESIDENT: Amendment T. The
pages will please distribute Amendment T.
This will be Amendment No. 3.
T,he Clerk will read the amendment.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 3

EB-2 as amended by Report No. S&D-13,
by Delegate Morgan:

respectively in each instance after the
word "election" add the words "or appoint-
ment".
THE PRESIDENT: The amendment is
submitted by Delegate Morgan.
Is there a second ?
(Whereupon, the amendment was duly
Hccondcd.)
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair recognizes
Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: This is really
a committee amendment, and it is to make
an appointed lieutenant governor have the
same qualifications as an elected lieuten-
ant governor. Under the executive branch
article if the governor dies the lieutenant
