The next item on the calendar is Item

vote by which Committee Report S&D-11
was adopted in order to reconsider the
vote by which Amendment No. 2 to Com-
mittee Recommendation S&E-1 and S&E-2
was adopted. The Chair has been advised
by the Chairman of the Committee on Suf-
frage and Elections that she does not de-
sire to offer that particular motion but she
does desire to move a suspension of the
rules, a suspension of whatever applicable
rules would prevent consideration of an
amendment to section 2.01 as adopted on
second reading.
Will the pages please distribute Amend-
ment J. J for jig. This will be Amendment
No. 10. The Clerk will read the amendment.
