been established a degree of rapport — and
he said "Hal — " and I knew we were on
good terms at that point — "this is what it
is."
So I now know exactly what it is, and,
Mr. President, regardless of what happens
to this constitution on May the 14, Judge
Child's smoke will go down in the records
of this Convention.
Delegate Child, will you yield to a ques-
tion?
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Child.
DELEGATE CHILD: I yield.
DELEGATE CLAGETT: In order that
what I have just said may prove to be
true, will you tell us what your mixture is?
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Child.
DELEGATE CHILD: That is a great
secret arrived at, and I hope to cash in on
it some day; and I wish to say in reply to
my good friend, Delegate Clagett, that I
am glad that I have contributed at least
one thing to two delegates of the Conven-
tion.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Hickman.
DELEGATE HICKMAN: Mr. Presi-
dent, as the second recipient of this very
flavorful tobacco, I second the remarks of
Delegate Clagett.
THE PRESIDENT: On Resolution 41,
will you please add the names as co-
sponsors of Delegates Penniman, Rush,
Soul, Harry Taylor, Johnson, and Hos-
tetter?
Resolution 52: Will the Clerk please
read the resolution?
Delegate Pullen.
DELEGATE PULLEN: Mr. President,
I rise very humbly and in a somewhat em-
barrassed fashion to thank my friends.
I am deeply moved — and to lighten it up,
to say that I feel very much like the old
man down where I was born and reared.
Something nice was said about him, and he
said, "Thank you, thank you. It is mutual
on both sides."
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: I would like to take
a few minutes of our time now for a
pleasant opportunity to extend apprecia-
tion in a more personal way than by the
adoption of resolutions.
|
Some of those to whom we want to ex-
tend our thanks are here working, as usual,
and I will ask them, as I call their names,
to please stand.
This is not a formal resolution. I merely
want to present them to you, announce
their names, and you can indicate your
approbation by applause.
Our Parliamentarian, who has kept the
ship of the Convention on an even course,
David Hattrick.
(Applause.)
Will you remain standing, please?
Our Sergeant-at-Arms, Dick Rothen-
burg, who was picked initially partly be-
cause of his size, but he has shown so
many other attributes that he has served
in numerous other capacities.
(Applause.)
Our Reading Clerk, Jim Quillen.
(Applause.)
And our Journal Clerk, Oden Bowie.
(Applause.)
I would also at this moment extend our
appreciation to Milton Dennis, whom all of
us learned to appreciate very very much.
He is doing nicely. He has been operated
on, as all of you know. He is in the hospi-
tal at the Naval Academy.
(Applause.)
Now, the others will have to come into
the chamber.
First, the Office of the Secretary: Our
Secretary, Dr. Robert J. Martineau.
(Applause.)
I would like you to come forward to the
well and let me call all the names.
Mrs. Marge Johns, Secretary to Mr.
Martineau.
(Applause.)
Susan McCaffray, Administrative Assist-
ant.
(Applause.)
Kelsey Kauffman, Administrative Assist-
ant.
(Applause.)
Sarah Williams, Administrative Assist-
ant.
(Applause.)
