last night Delegate Grant asked me some

to offer the amendment?

On page 12, section 4.30, Appointment

method of"; and in line 20 strike out the
word "and" and insert in lieu thereof the
word "or".
THE PRESIDENT: The amendment is
submitted by Delegate Morgan. Is there a
second?
(Whereupon, the amendment was duly

onds the amendment.

The Chair recognizes Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Delegate Grant
asked me last night whether this appoint-
ment or removal was in the disjunctive. I
told him it was. The Executive Branch
Committee as a committee never did con-
sider this question as such. There was never
any question in my mind but what the ap-
pointment or removal was in the disjunc-
tive, and this section applied to the removal
of officers as well as to the appointment of
officers, and again gave the General Assem-
bly the power to deal with that problem.
In reading the section, however, it
seemed to me that there was some question
about that "and" if the word "and" was
used in line 20, and so one of the things this
amendment does is to strike out the word
"and" and put in place of it "or". And to
make sure it means what I said it meant
last night, to insert "for removal whose
method is not specifically provided," and so
forth.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any ques-
tions of the Committee Chairman?
(There was no response.)
Is there any further discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question ?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 16 to Committee Recom-
mendation EB-1 and EB-2 as amended by
S&D-13. A vote Aye is a vote in favor of
Amendment No. 16. A vote No is a vote
against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted ? Does any
delegate desire to change his vote ?
(Tli er e was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 93 votes in the affirmative
and 3 in the negative, the motion is carried
and the amendment is adopted.
Are there any other amendments to sec-
tion 4.30?
The Chair hears none.
Section 4.31: Delegate Morgan, do you
desire to offer your amendment N ?
DELEGATE MORGAN: Yes, I do, Mr.
President.
