Commission plan will take effect and yet in
section 3.16 the subject of every law shall
be described in its title. It does not say
anything in the Commission plan about a
title, and I think there should be an amend-
ment there to include a plan that em-
bodies —
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Della, sec-
tions 3.05 and 3.16 have already been
passed on second reading. The Chair will
refer the question to Delegate Penniman,
Chairman of the Committee on Style, which
is, under the rules, able to offer the kind of
amendment you suggest if it is in order.
Delegate Penniman, did you follow the
point made by Delegate Della or did your
secretary?
Is the secretary of the Committee on
Style here? Did you make a note of Dele-
gate Delia's point?
The note has been made. Thank you.
Are there any other amendments as to
section 3.03 as to numbers ?
(There was no response.)
The Chair hears none.
Delegate Lord, do you now desire to offer
your Amendment K?
DELEGATE LORD: Mr. President, I do.
THE PRESIDENT: Pages please dis-
tribute your Amendment K. For what pur-
pose does Delegate Singer rise?
DELEGATE SINGER: Mr. President, I
suggest the absence of a quorum in the
chamber.
THE PRESIDENT: The Clerk will ring
the quorum bell.
For what purpose does Delegate Borom
rise?
DELEGATE BOROM: Personal privi-
lege.
THE PRESIDENT: State the privilege.
DELEGATE BOROM: I would like to
announce the presence in the gallery of
one Dave Snyder, a good friend of mine,
and for better or for worse in -the Conven-
tion, one of the prime reasons I am down
here. I hope you will give him a warm wel-
come.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: The absence of a
quorum has been suggested. All delegates
please answer roll call.

Delegate Boileau's switch is not working.
The Clerk will record him as present.
Has every delegate answer roll call? The
Clerk will record the roll call.
(A roll call was taken.)
There being a quorum present, the ses-
sion will continue.
I think the delegates would all want the
Chair to express on their behalf, as I did
this morning with respect to Delegate
Cleveland, their great pleasure at the fact
that Delegate Bushong has been able to
return to us today after his long illness.
We are delighted to have him with us.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
on behalf of the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda and with the concurrence of
the two sides involved in this matter in-
volving single member districts, I move
that debate on section 3.03 and section 3.04
be limited to controlled debate by Delegate
Lord, a total of 20 minutes, controlled de-
bate by Delegate Gallagher, a total of 20
minutes, and uncontrolled debate for a
total of 10 minutes, no speech on uncon-
trolled debate to be over 2 minutes.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Moved that sections
3.03 and 3.04 be considered together under
a debate schedule providing for controlled
debate of 20 minutes for Delegate Lord, 20
minutes for Delegate Gallagher, 10 min-
utes on uncontrolled with no speech on
uncontrolled debate to exceed 2 minutes.
All those in favor signify by saying Aye;
contrary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered.
Under the circumstances, since the two
sections are being considered together, is
there a companion amendment with respect
to section 3.04 that should be distributed at
this time?
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
we do not have an amendment drafted to
that effect, but I think it would be a simple
clarifying amendment that would follow in
the event —
THE PRESIDENT: You can state it at
the appropriate time.
We now have under consideration
Amendment K. This will be Amendment
