The question arises on the approval by
the Committee of the Whole of Committee
Recommendation GP-I as amended. A vote
Aye is a vote in favor of the approval of
the Recommendation as amended. A vote
No is against.
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
All those in favor, signify by saying
Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes seem to have
it. The Ayes have it. The motion is carried.
Committee Recommendation GP-I is ap-
proved.
The Chair now recognizes Delegate
Powers for the purpose of making a motion
that the Committee of the Whole rise and
report.

and report to the Convention on Committee
Recommendation GP-I with the amend-
ments agreed to.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any discus-
sion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the motion that
the Committee of the Whole rise and report
to the Convention that it has considered
Committee Recommendation GP-I and re-
ports the same favorably with amendments.
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
All those in favor, signify by saying

PLENARY SESSION
OCTOBER 31, 1967—-5:26 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Committee of
the Whole rises. The Convention will please
come to order. |
The Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole reports to the Convention that the
Committee of the Whole has had under
consideration Committee Recommendation
No. GP-I. It has approved Committee Rec-
ommendation No. GP-I with amendments
and so reports to the Convention. In ac-
cordance with the Rules of the Convention,
the Committee Recommendation GP-I with
amendments is referred to the Committee
on Style, Drafting, and Arrangement.
I have to pause just a moment. The de-
bate has been sufficient to run out one
whole tape.
The Convention will please come to order.
In the unusual flurry of activity the
Chair omitted before the Convention re-
solved itself into the Committee of the
Whole to receive formally across the desk
the Minority Report GP-I. In order that
the journal may be accurate and complete,
I will ask the Clerk now to read Minority
Report GP-I.
READING CLERK: Minority Report
GP-I, by Delegates Pullen, Kirkland, Cald-
well, Sosnowski, Blair, Vecera, Kathleen
Robie, Wheatley and Key.
A MINORITY REPORT concerning the
militia.
DELEGATE SHERBOW: Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Sherbow.
DELEGATE SHERBOW: I was going
to move that so much as we have heard of
the reading be considered reading of the
whole.
THE PRESIDENT: It is completed. It
is received.
Delegate H. Taylor.
DELEGATE H. TAYLOR: Today for
the first time we had a Minority Report
signed by a majority of a Committee. It is
conceivable from my observations that we
may later in this Convention get a Minority
Report that will be signed by all the mem-
bers of a Committee. It is a little confusing,
and I think for the sake of parliamentary
clarity it would be better to develop a dif-
ferent nomenclature for these reports. I
would suggest calling it the Majority Re-
port, and then secondly the Majority Report
that has the majority of votes of the Com-
mittee, rather than calling it the Minority
Report which has the majority support of
a Minority Report.
(Applause,) |
