sirable at that time to reconsider the
language in this section, a motion for re-
consideration by the Committee on Style
is always in order, and the Chair would
recognize it at that time.
I think we can make better time.
Delegate Adkins, would you be willing
to make such a motion ?
DELEGATE ADKINS: I would. I think
also that a change needs to be made in
section 4.09.
THE PRESIDENT: For what purpose
does Delegate Mentzer rise ?
DELEGATE MENTZER: To call your
attention to the fact that the words "pre-
siding officer" are used at least two times
in the finance section.
THE PRESIDENT: Presiding officer of
the Senate, or both houses ?
DELEGATE MENTZER: Both houses.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it seems to the
Chair, and I do not have the two articles
before me, that there is no inconsistency
in referring to the presiding officer of the
two houses in each of those articles and in
referring to the president of the Senate in
this article. That is why I made the sugges-
tion.
Delegate Penniman.
DELEGATE PENNIMAN: Mr. President,
there is one reference in the legislative
branch article, LB-1, to the presiding officer
of the Senate and the presiding officer of
the House. On other occasions it refers to
the presiding officer of the two houses, and
it would certainly be correct to leave it
presiding officers.
THE PRESIDENT: All right.
Delegate Adkins, this would be Amend-
ment No. 5 with respect to section 4.09.
Change "presiding officer" to "president"
wherever it appears.
Is there a second ?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
Is there any discussion?
(T tier e was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 5, to change the words
|
"presiding officer" in section 4.05 wherever
they appear to "president."
A vote Aye is a vote for the amendment.
A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted ? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 93 votes in the affirmative
and 0 in the negative, the motion is car-
ried and the amendment is adopted.
Amendment No. G in section 4.10, to
change the words "presiding officer" wher-
ever they 'appear to the word "president."
Do you make such a motion, Delegate
Adkins ?
DELEGATE ADKINS: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
Is there any discussion ?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
