[Jan. 2] DEBATES 3093

DELEGATE BOILEAU: No.

THE PRESIDENT: Has every other
delegate voted? Does any delegate desire
to change his vote ?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.

There being 65 vote in the affirmative
and 55 votes in the negative, the motion
carries. The amendment is adopted.

Delegate Adkins.

DELEGATE ADKINS: Mr. President, I
should like to move the previous question
on section 3.19 if that is in order.

THE PRESIDENT: I am not sure I fol-
low you. There is not now presented a ques-
tion for the adoption of section 3.19. It is
a part of further consideration of S&D-16
and will be submitted, unless divided, with
the other four sections after we have con-
sidered section 3.23.

Delegate Adkins.

DELEGATE ADKINS: Well, I do not
quarrel with the Chair. I simply want to
get on with the business. It seems to me
we have belabored these problems enough.
They have all been decided to the question.
I would hope my motion would put to rest
section 3.19. If I am out of order, I will
withdraw it.

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Adkins, I
think that you can request that the section
be divided and then move the previous
question.

DELEGATE ADKINS: I will so move,
Mr. President.

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Rybczynski.

DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: Am I cor-
rect in saying Amendment No. 12, JJ is
now in order?

THE PRESIDENT: I am sorry, you are
quite right about that.

Delegate Rybczynski.

DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: I would
hope to couple that, Mr. President, with
still another request as to your interpreta-
tion as to whether or not the words are
automatically deleted by that last vote.
Maybe we better vote on it and get it over
with.

THE PRESIDENT: No, I do not think
they would be automatically eliminated.
I would quite agree with you that the
amendment should follow.

Delegate Adkins, Amendment No. 12
would have priority since it has already
been recognized. I will recognize you after
consideration of Amendment No. 12.

The question now arises on the adoption
of Amendment No. 12. Let the Chair re-
verse it previous statement as to the num-
bering of this amendment because check-
ing the notes of the Chair, the journal
clerk, the reading clerk, and the parlia-
mentarian, I think there would be more
confusion if we numbered the amendment
JJ as 12 than otherwise because the Chair
apparently failed to give it that number
last Saturday and referred to the other
amendments by that number, and I think
it would confuse the journal.

Therefore, would you please, contrary to
what the Chair previously indicated, restore
No. 12 to the amendment that was desig-
nated by the letter "W" and designate the
amendment JJ not as Amendment No. 12,
but Amendment No. 13; Amendment 13
is JJ.

The Chair recognizes Delegate Rybczyn-
ski to speak to Amendment No. 13.

DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: Other than
to tell you that Delegate Beatrice Miller
wants her name added to this amendment,
I will rest my case.

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Beatrice
Miller is added as a co-sponsor to Amend-
ment No. 13.

Is there any further discussion ?
Delegate Morgan.

DELEGATE MORGAN: I move the pre-
vious question.

THE PRESIDENT: All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye; contrary, No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered.

The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 13 to Committee Recom-
mendation LB-1, LB-2, and LB-3 as amend-
ed by S&D-16. A vote Aye is a vote in
favor of Amendment No. 13. A vote No
is a vote against.

Cast your vote.
Has every delegate voted?
Delegate Boileau votes Aye.

Has every other delegate voted? Has
any other delegate decide to change his
vote?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
