T.HE PRESIDENT: Very well.

Do all delegates now have a copy?
For what purpose does Delegate Grum-
bacher rise?
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: Parlia-
mentary inquiry.
THE PRESIDENT: State the inquiry.
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: On third
reading, in the final days of this Conven-
tion, may we amend section 1.17?
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair regrets
that you ask the question because the an-
swer is in the affirmative. The rule is spe-
cific that any amendments may be offered
at any time before there is an adjourn-
ment sine die. Under the rule, amendments
to any matter before the Convention may
be offered subject to the applicable rules at
any time before adjournment sine die.
Delegate Grumbacher.
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: I am
sorry that I wrecked the system. I would
like to speak for one moment on personal
privilege, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: I do not believe you
are in order at this time, if I anticipate
your personal privilege has to do with the
matter of motion for reconsideration be-
cause that is not before us for the moment.
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: It does
not.
THE PRESIDENT: State the privilege.
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: It is my
firm belief that we are not going to be able
to settle this question today, that this will
be, in my opinion, the last thing we settle
before we adjourn sine die and I think it
is not too good an idea for us to keep going
forever on this for we are getting no closer
to an agreement. I, therefore, after Amend-
ment CC or 16 has been disposed up or
down, will move the previous question on
section 1.17.
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair has al-
ready indicated that he would recognize
Delegate Jett, Delegate Grumbacher. I
could not recognize you in preference to
him.
Amendment No. 16. Does every delegate
have a copy?
