adopted on second reading, so that we have
not been undoing what was done on second
reading. We have merely been amending
the rules which would provide that we go
directly from second reading to third read-
ing without an amendment so as to permit
an amendment in between.
Therefore, what we have been doing is
amending sections adopted on second read-
ing without going back to second reading.
Now, if you will get in front of you
page 1-1, there were a number of errors.
Pages 1-1 and 1-2 have been corrected and
re-printed. You should have on your desk
now the corrected page. They will be dis-
tributed right now. You can substitute it.
So that there will be no confusion, tear up
your existing page 1-1, on the back of
which is 1-2. Just tear it up.
The pages will also distribute to you
corrected pages 2-1 and 2-1A. Take out of
your book pages 2-1 and 2-2. That is one
sheet. Tear it, and substitute for it, two
sheets, marked 2-1, 2-1A, 2-2.
You also received page 7-3. Take out
your page 7-3. Destroy it. You will receive
a new one. Destroy 7-3. You will get a new
one. Destroy all your page 1-3 and 1-4.
Let me go back over it. These are the
pages to be destroyed. 1-1 and 1-2. That is
one sheet. 1-3 and 1-4, is one sheet. 2-1 and
2-2 is two sheets, I mean one sheet. You
will receive two sheets, marked 2-1, 2-1 A
and 2-2, and 7-3. It has nothing on the back.
One other sheet to be destroyed, 3-1, on
the back of which is 3-2.
You should have, in order to have the
complete constitution, five sets.
The first has Constitutional Convention
Memorandum as the heading, marked,
Draft Constitution. That comprises articles
1, 2; secondly, article 3; thirdly, article 4;
fourthly, articles 5, 6, 7, and 8; and lastly,
articles 9 and 10.

DELEGATE JAMES: Mr. President,
can you give us a memorandum on this?
THE PRESIDENT: All right. We will
get it out to you tomorrow.
There is one more. That is it.
We will reproduce the memorandum and
leave it on your desks.
I had given you all the corrections, but
you can check them against the memo-
randum.
You now have properly substituted the
pages and corrections. You now have a
complete copy of the constitution as
amended on second reading and as amended
yesterday after second reading, but not in-
cluding the additional amendment adopted
tonight by the addition of section 2.14.
Other than that, you have the complete
edition.
Delegate Lord.
DELEGATE LORD : Mr. President,
while we are making corrections, I have
just been talking to Chairman Penniman
and I think on page 8-1, line 32, there is
a minor change. The third word on that
line is the word "the" in italics. I think it
should be "their".
THE PRESIDENT: What line?
DELEGATE LORD: Line 32, and then
the following word "fund". That is all
right. Then the word "thereof" should be
stricken, 8-1.
THE PRESIDENT: I think you are
quite right, Delegate Lord. I think the con-
fusion came about because the words "the
fund thereof" changed to "their fund" was
on one line and we restored the following
line.
In a few minutes I think Delegate Penni-
man will indicate to the Committee on
Style how many hours and minutes of
sleep they will have tonight. The rest of
