colored paper. The addition is to indicate
that the proposal is submitted by the spon-
soring delegates by request.
I thought we had run out of proposals
yesterday but I find we had not. Delegate
Proposal No. 444. The Clerk will read the
proposal.
READING CLERK: Delegate Proposal
No. 444 by Delegate Chabot. Title,
A PROPOSAL that any citizen of the
State shall have the right to maintain a
judicial action or proceeding against any
officer, employee, or instrumentality of the
State or of a political subdivision to re-
strain a violation of the Constitution of
the State or the Constitution of the United
States, including unconstitutional expendi-
tures.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Proposal
No. 444 is referred to the Committee on
Personal Rights and the Preamble.
Are there any other motions or resolu-
tions? If not, the Chair recognizes Dele-
gate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move the Convention resolve itself into
the Committee of the Whole for the pur-
pose of considering general orders, includ-
ing Committee Recommendation SF-I.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any debate
schedule to be adopted, Delegate Powers?
DELEGATE POWERS: No debate
schedule proposed by the Committee.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: The question arises
on the motion that the Convention resolve
itself into the Committee of the Whole for
the consideration of general orders of the
day consisting of Committee Recommenda-
tion No. SF-I and Committee Report No.
SF-I. All in favor, signify by saying Aye;
contrary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered.
(Whereupon, at 2:20 P.M., the Conven-
tion resolved itself into the Committee of
the Whole.)
(The mace was removed by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
NOVEMBER 3, 1967—2:20 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING |
THE CHAIRMAN: The Committee of
the Whole will now come to order.
We will have to pause a moment to
replenish a tape. While we are waiting, I
request the Chairman of the Committee,
Delegate Sherbow, to come forward.
Before I recognize the Chairman of the
Committee, I want to make one announce-
ment that is a deviation from the plan
that we had a few days ago. Because of
the crowded condition and too much con-
fusion in the lounge, if there should be
any necessity for delegates to have amend-
ments prepared during the course of the
debate instead of going to the lounge, go to
the Chief Clerk's office, the Department of
Legislative Reference, down the hall. Leave
by the rear door and you will find Dr.
Phillips there. Tell him what you want
and he will see it is taken care of very
promptly.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Sherbow,
Chairman of the Committee on State Fi-
nance and Taxation, to present the Com-
mittee Recommendation SF-I.
DELEGATE SHERBOW: Mr. Chair-
man, ladies and gentlemen of the Commit-
tee, this recommendation is SF-I and in a
moment I will discuss the amendment to
it, but I would ask you for the sake of
avoidance of confusion, that there is a
third or fourth paper in your book which
is headed up Committee Report No. 1 and
the first paragraph is a report on a re-
ported omission, et cetera. Please put that
aside. It has nothing to do with the sub-
ject matter that comes up first. Some
books have it at the very beginning. It
might be confusing. We will take that up
later.
THE PRESIDENT: To make that
clearer to you, the recommendation you are
now considering is printed on blue paper.
DELEGATE SHERBOW: Our Commit-
tee on Finance and Taxation had before it
a series of proposals dealing in one form
or another with the subject of post-audit,
that is, audit after the fact rather than
the typical executive type of audit which
takes place currently in various depart-
ments.
After the discussions began, we received
a number of proposals all dealing with the
same subject matter in one form or an-
other. Some suggested a general audit re-
lating to finances specifying the time that
they should take place. Others related to
the method, in detail, by which those who
shall be selected are selected, and what |
