would have to be enacted into law, and we
feel, therefore, that the original language
is more closely allied to the federal consti-
tutional requirements than the language as
it came out of the Style Committee.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Miller.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Mr. Presi-
dent, it is just a question, if I may, of
Chairman Gallagher. In the discussion in
Style on this question we wondered whether
by using the words "a plan of its own"
we would preclude the General Assembly
from enacting a plan which they might like
which had been offered to them, say, by the
League of Women Voters, or any other
group.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: No, I cer-
tainly would not put that interpretation
upon it. The plan ultimately adopted by
the General Assembly would be the plan of
its own regardless of who suggested it or
sponsored it in the beginning.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Beatrice
Miller.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: In that case,
I move the previous question.
THE PRESIDENT: Second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: All in favor of or-
dering the previous question on amendment
12 signify by saying Aye. Contrary No,
The Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 12. A vote Aye is a vote
in favor of the amendment. A vote No is
a vote against.
Cast your vote.
Has every delegate voted? Does any
delegate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 102 votes in the affirmative
and none in the negative, the amendment
is adopted.
Are there any other amendments to sec-
tion 3.22?
Are there any other amendments to any
of the sections of Committee Recommenda-
tion LB-1 and LB-2 other than 3.03, 3.04,
3.19 and 3.23?
If not, the question arises upon the adop-
; tion on second reading of Committee Rec-
|
ommendations LB-1, LB-2, and LB-3 with
the exceptions of sections 3.03, 3.04 and 3.19
and 3.23. A vote Aye is a vote in favor of
the adoption of the recommendation with
the exceptions noted. A vote No is a vote
against.
Delegate Grumbacher.
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: Is not
3.14 a special order, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm sorry. Thank
you. 3.03, 3.04, 3.14, 3.19 and 3.23 are the
exceptions.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
adoption of the committee recommenda-
tions as amended with the exceptions noted.
A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your vote.
Has every delegate voted? Does any
delegate desire to change his vote? The
Clerk will record the vote.
There being 99 votes in the affirmative,
and none in the negative, the Committee
Recommendations LB-1, LB-2 and LB-3, as
amended, with the exceptions of sections
3.03, 3.04, 3.14, 3.19 and 3.23, are adopted.
Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Presi-
dent, before I retire, on behalf of the Con-
vention I take this opportunity to wish the
President a happy New Year.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very
much.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Mrs. Marx has asked
me to say thank you. She has placed five
pages. She still needs accommodations for
five more. If any of you have any sugges-
tion, please let her know.
Delegate Fornos.
DELEGATE FORNOS: Mr. President,
members of the Convention, I rise on a
point of personal privilege.
THE PRESIDENT: State the privilege.
DELEGATE FORNOS: Certainly we
have been blessed in this Convention with a
wealth of talent in the staff that has as-
sisted us, and at this time I would hope
that the Convention would join me in wish-
ing a happy birthday to a very able staff
assistant of this Convention, a young lady
now serving4 as assistant to the President,
Miss Janet Shedd.
(Applause.)
