DELEGATE JAMES: Yes.
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Is your motion that
further consideration of section 3.14 be
made a special order for Tuesday, January
2, following the other special orders?
DELEGATE JAMES: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second to
that motion?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Grum-
bacher.
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: I have
absolutely no objection to making it a spe-
cial order for that time. I think it is a
serious question and should be decided
when there are more members here.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate James, I
do not want to get into another parlia-
mentary tangle on Tuesday. My problem
is under the rule previously announced
with respect to reconsideration, if we have
a final vote, then Rule 59 -would apply to
let it lay over two days, and quite frankly
we do not have two days. May I therefore
suggest to you, sir, that you move to re-
consider the vote by which Amendment No.
10 was adopted, and then move that that
motion and further consideration of section
3.14 be made the special order for next
Tuesday.
DELEGATE JAMES: I so move, I make
that combined motion.
THE PRESIDENT: You withdraw the
previous motion, I take it?
DELEGATE JAMES: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate White?
DELEGATE WHITE: Mr. President, I
thought I was suffering from poor visibility
for a few seconds. Is this issue debatable
as to whether or not an item should become
a special item of business for Tuesday?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, it is. If you
will let me state the question —
DELEGATE WHITE: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: The motion has
been duly made and seconded that the vote
|
by which Amendment No. 10 was adopted
be reconsidered and that that motion and
further consideration of section 3.14, as
divided, be made a special order for Tues-
day, January 2, 1968, following the other
special orders. The motion has been sec-
onded. It is now open for discussion.
Delegate White.
DELEGATE WHITE: Mr. President
and members of the Convention, it was
quite enlightening to hear our learned
Second Vice-President of this Convention
state that he could not believe that we had
taken the action which he had just wit-
nessed. I sat here with him and others for
hours while the many issues were debated,
including this important issue which failed
by a bare margin then.
Mr. Chairman, we have steeled our-
selves, most of us, to rely on less debate,
because we have heard all of the issues
before. Nothing new is being presented.
Therefore, on this occasion we only re-
quired a couple of statements by Delegate
Mitchell and some others, and we voted.
Now someone says they are amazed.
Mr. Chairman, unless Tuesday is going
to be a 48-hour day, we cannot get through
by January 12, so I would ask the Conven-
tion to turn down this motion and let's get
this thing over with today.
Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any fur-
ther discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the motion to re-
consider the vote by which Amendment No.
10 was adopted, and to make that motion
and further consideration of section 3.14 as
divided a special order for Tuesday, Janu-
ary 2, 1968, following the other special or-
ders. A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
motion. A vote No is a vote ag-ainst. All in
favor signify by saying Aye; contrary No.
The Chair is uncertain. Roll call vote. A
vote Aye is a vote in favor of the motion,
a vote No is a vote against.
For what purpose does Delegate Hard-
wicke rise?
DELEGATE HARDWICKE : May I re-
quest that the Chairman ring the quorum
bell, please?
THE PRESIDENT: The Clerk will ring
the quorum bell.
