THE PRESIDENT: The amendment has
been seconded. The purpose of the amend-
ment is obvious. It is to correct an error.

cussion?

Amendment AJ will be Amendment No.
31.
This amendment appears on lines 1 and
2 on page 72 of the white draft. The
amendment is offered by Delegate Penni-
man.
Delegate Penniman, the purpose is to
show that this sentence is a new para-
graph. It does not show too clearly. That
is the intention I believe.
DELEGATE PENNIMAN: That is cor-
rect, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: For clarification,
the amendment will be modified to put a
paragraph mark in front of line o so
there is no question that that is intended.
It will conform to the style of other pro-
visions.
Is there any objection?
(There was no response.)
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
amendment. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your vote.
I am sorry, the Clerk will read the
amendment first.

DELEGATE CLAGETT: Mr. President,
early in the deliberations of this body
there was made a matter of record that all
notes passed should be placed in the
custody of the historian. One of those
notes was one whose authorship, by Dele-
gate Eckenrode, I recognized when it be-
gan: "Now, you know what I thought I
meant."
There has been one other that has been
passed to me, and it reads as follows:
"The weaker sex is the stronger sex be-
cause of the weakness of the stronger sex
for the weaker sex." With that, I have
fulfilled a commitment made before I was
elected, to j>;et sex in the Constitution.
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair will
have a quorum call to indicate which dele-
gates are present now.
Please answer the quorum call.
Has every delegate answered the quorum
call?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the quorum call.
Delegate Burdette.
