THE CHAIRMAN: You may.
DELEGATEE HARDWICKE: It ap-
pears to me that if we leave this "may
have occurred" the governor would have
discretion as to whether or not the destruc-
tion has occurred. It seems to me the bet-
ter language would be to permit the gov-
ernor to act only if the destruction has in
fact occurred, and not where there is any
uncertainty as to whether or not it has
occurred.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gallagher,
in view of the comments do you stand on
your language?
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chair-
man, I do not stand on the language. I
think the same object can be accomplished
both in Mr. Hardwicke's verb and my verb.
I am happy to give him the benefit of the
verb.
THE CHAIRMAN: Will the seconder
accept the modification to strike the words
"may have" in line four and substitute the
word "has"?
DELEGATE BARRICK: Yes, I accept
it. That was my original wording.
THE CHAIRMAN: The motion as modi-
fied, the words "may have" in line four are
stricken and the word "has" is inserted.
Is there any further discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on Amendment No.
11 to Committee Recommendation GP-I: in
line 15 on page 1 of the Committee Rec-
ommendation strike out the words "may
occur" and in lieu thereof insert the words
"is threatened or has occurred."
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
amendment. A vote No is a vote against the
amendment. Are you ready for the ques-
tion?
(Call for the question.)
All those in favor, signify by saying
Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes have it, the
motion carries. The amendment is adopted.
Delegate Singer.
DELEGATE SINGER: Mr. Chairman,
I have Amendment No. 12.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Clerk will read
the Amendment. |
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 12
to Committee Recommendation GP-I, by
Delegate Singer: in line 12 on page 1 of
the Committee Recommendation No. GP-I
strike out "repel invasions,".
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Singer to speak to the
motion.
DELEGATE SINGER: Mr. Chairman,
very briefly, I believe that the phrase in
question is very little relevant to the pres-
ent day. The section will not suffer at all
by the deletion of the phrase, and would
be improved in that it suggests something
not relevant today.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any fur-
ther discussion? Ready for the question?
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 12 to Committee Recom-
mendation GP-I. A vote Aye is a vote in
favor of the amendment to strike the words
"repel invasions" from line 12. A vote No
is a vote against the Amendment. Are you
ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
All those in favor, signify by saying Aye;
contrary, No. The Noes seem to have it.
The Noes have it. The motion is lost. The
amendment is rejected.
Are there any further amendments?
I assume, Delegate Wheatley, you rise
for the same purpose?
DELEGATE WHEATLEY: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Before recognizing
you, I want to make sure there are no
other amendments which have been pre-
pared and are ready to be offered. If not,
then in keeping with the promise to Dele-
gate Schneider, I wish first to give him the
opportunity to resubmit Amendment No.
10, after which the Chair will recognize
Delegate Wheatley.
DELEGATE SCHNEIDER: Mr. Chair-
man, I resubmit Amendment No. 10.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is it seconded?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Amendment No. 10
to Committee Recommendation GP-I is now
before you. The Chair recognizes Delegate
Wheatley. |
