DELEGATE CLAGETT: I have one
question to ask the Chair. Is it not true
that by Article 23A of the Code, which in-
corporates XI-E of the Constitution, that
where we keep 23A alive, we likewise keep
alive those provisions which are incorpo-
rated in it from XI-E?
THE CHAIRMAN: I do not know that
the Chair would want to answer that ques-
tion just with a bald "yes" or "no", Dele-
gate Clagett. I do not believe it is the kind
of question you can give a general answer
to. It may or may not be true. I think we
should vote on the question.
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.
The question arises on the adoption of
•Amendment No. 12 to Committee Recom-
mendation GP-13.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amend-
ment No. 12. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Does any
delegate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 88 votes in the affirmative,
and 12 in the negative, the motion carries.
The amendment is adopted.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Freed-
lander.
DELEGATE FREEDLANDER: A point
of person privilege, Mr. Chairman.
THE CHAIRMAN: State the privilege.
DELEGATE FREEDLANDER: I would
like this body to welcome someone in the
balcony facing the Chair who has more
than a passing interest in our work, Dr.
John E. Bebout who, as you know, is Di-
rector of the Urban Study Center of Rut-
gers University. He was consultant to con-
ventions in New Jersey, Alaska, Connec-
ticut, and Rhode Island, and was Director
of the Commission on the Simplification of
the New York Constitution in 1958-1960.
I would like you to give him a hearty
welcome, please.
(Applause.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other
amendments to section 33? Section 34? Sec-
tion 35?
(There was no response.)
Are there any further amendments of
any kind in the schedule of legislation?
|
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: If not, the question
arises on the approval of the schedule of
legislation comprising pages 15 to 30 of
Committee Recommendation GP-13, with
the exception of sections 21, 22, and 23.
Is there any discussion?
(There was no response.)
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the ap-
proval of this schedule, with the excep-
tions noted. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
There being 100 votes in the affirmative
and none in the negative, the motion car-
ries. The schedule of legislation, with the
exceptions of sections 21, 22, and 23 are
approved.
We will suspend consideration, further
consideration, at this time of Committee
Recommendation GP-13.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman,
I move the Committee of the Whole rise
and report the adoption of Committee Rec-
ommendation GP-13 as amended, excepting
sections 30, transitional provisions, and
sections 21, 22, and 23 of the schedule of
legislation.
THE CH AIRMAN: Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: All those in favor
signify by saying Aye; contrary, No. The
Ayes have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 11:05 P.M., the Commit-
tee of the Whole rose, and the Convention
reconvened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
