PLENARY SESSION
JANUARY 4, 1968—7:50 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Convention
will please come to order.
Roll call.
(Whereupon, the roll was called.)
THE PRESIDENT: Has every delegate
answered the roll call?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the roll call.
I have a note indicating that when the
canteen closed this afternoon there was an
extra top coat in the canteen. It was left
with the custodial officer at the desk in
the basement. If it belongs to any of you,
you may pick it up from him this evening.
I also want to call to your attention that
you have now received the third install-
ment of the draft constitution as amended
on second reading. There will be two other
installments coming to you. It should be
here this evening.
I cannot resist calling to your attention
the fact that this is not a mere routine
matter, that the draft constitution or some
parts of it showing these corrections is
being placed on your desk this evening
and earlier this afternoon. This really rep-
resents a tremendous effort on the part of
a number of people on the staff, on the
part of a number of the members of the
stenographic pool who forego their dinner
hour, and particularly on the part of the
print shop crew who are working steadily.
As I have been told in the past hour, the
printing machines are working, not at
capacity, but at 200 percent of capacity
in order to get it to you.
I would like to have you express your
appreciation.
(Applause.)
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move that the Convention resolve itself
into a Committee of the Whole in order to
resume consideration of the general orders
of the day.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
|
THE PRESIDENT: All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye; contrary, No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 7:55 P.M., the Conven-
tion resolved itself into the Committee of
the Whole.)
(The mace was removed by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JANUARY 4, 1968—7:55 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE CHAIRMAN: The Committee of
the Whole will please come to order.
We are about to take up consideration
of section 23 of Committee Recommenda-
tion GP-13, and I believe the pages have
distributed Amendment R.
Delegate Rybczynski, I understand that
Delegate Wheatley and Delegate Case are
unable to be here. I have an amendment
marked L that at quick glance seems to be
either exactly or almost exactly the same.
Is this correct?
DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: Mr. Chair-
man, I do not have that amendment, but
I have no intention of presenting an
amendment on this section.
THE CHAIRMAN: You do not?
Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: Mr. Chairman,
I do not know what happened over here,
but we have not gotten any of those things
that you talk about. We are sort of at a
loss.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are you sure you
do not have it? It was passed out before
dinner.
DELEGATE KIEFER: No.
THE CHAIRMAN: The pages will
please get some additional copies of
Amendment R, "R" for "Roger".
Any delegates who do not have Amend-
ment R please indicate, and the pages will
bring you a copy.
Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: We just now re-
ceived the brown sheets for general pro-
visions and the executive branch.
