I have just been handed a note that dis-
turbs me. It says, "Are you aware that
some delegates did not receive their invita-
tions for the party Friday?"
I was not aware of this. Every delegate
should have received, if he was here, re-
ceived in person from the page an invita-
tion several days ago at least, or more
than that, and if he was absent, it was
mailed to his home.
If any delegates did not receive the in-
vitation, will you nevertheless please con-
sider that you have received it, because it
was sent to you, and advise me whether
you are able to accept.
Every delegate, without exception, and
his or her wife has been invited. That
shows the Chair is really getting tired —
I mean, his or her spouse.
(Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: -Are there any other
announcements?
One other comment: We will, of course,
meet tonight. We will start on transitional
provisions.
We will have a session tomorrow morn-
ing, tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night,
Friday morning, and Friday afternoon.

adjourned, to reconvene at 8:00 P.M. of the
same evening.)

There being a quorum present, the Con-
vention is in session.
Pages will please distribute Amendment
B, "b" for "baker".
Delegate Gallagher.
We -will resume consideration of Com-
mittee Recommendations LB-2, 3, and GP-
10.
I understand, Delegate Gallagher, that
you have prepared the amendment to sec-
tion 9.08 that was being discussed before
the dinner recess, but it is not yet printed.
Will you please state the amendment so
that we can get unanimous consent to con-
sider it, notwithstanding the fact that it
is not printed?
DELEGATE GALLAGPIER: In section
9.08, "Conflict of Interest", on page 2 of
the provisions before us of ai'ticle 9, on
line 50 strike out the word "provide" and
substitute therefor the word "prescribe";
and on line 51 after the word "and" insert
the word "provide".
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Gallagher,
I think you also have to strike out of line
50 the word "for," do you not?
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Yes, sir.
It would read "The General Assembly shall
prescribe by law a code of ethics and pro-
vide for the regulation of conflict of in-
terest."
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any objec-
tion to considering the amendment, not-
withstanding the fact that it is not
printed?
(There was no response.)
The Chair hears no objection. This will
be Amendment No. 2. The Clerk will read
the amendment, Amendment No. 2.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 2
to Committee Recommendations LB-2, LB-
3, and GP-10 as amended by Style Com-
mittee Report S&E-14, by Delegates Gal-
lagher and B. Miller:
On page 2, section 9.08, Conflict of In-
terest, in line 50 strike out the word "pro-
vide" and insert in lieu thereof the word
"prescribe"; and in line 51 after the word
"and" insert the word "provide".
THE PRESIDENT: The amendment is
submitted by Delegate Gallagher.
Is there a second?
The amendment is seconded. The Chair
recognizes Delegate Gallagher.
