THE CHAIRMAN: That motion is not
in order.
The Chair would like to see the Chair-
men of the Committee on Calendar and
Agenda, please.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers,
Chairman of the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda.
DELEGATE POWERS: First, I would
like to say that from the standpoint of
the Committee on Calendar and Agenda,
we are reluctant to have what I would
consider to be a dangerous precedent set,
and that is have wide latitude in the time
that we recess and the time that we con-
clude our business in the evening, because
plans are necessarily made on the basis of
our customary practice. However,—
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Powers, be-
fore you make your motion, a note has just
been handed to me stating that the dele-
gates from Prince George's County are
scheduled to meet with the delegation of
teachers at 1:00 P.M. Could we inquire of
someone from that delegation whether an
earlier adjournment would affect that meet-
ing in any way?
Delegate Schneider?
DELEGATE SCHNEIDER: Mr. Chair-
man, 1 sent the note up to you. As 1 under-
stand it, this is set up through Mrs. Fleury
and the Public Information Service. It
would interfere, as I understand it, if we
go to lunch from 12:00 noon to 1:00 P.M.
or 1:30 P.M., I believe, in making adequate
presentation to the teachers; it would re-
quire probably as much as an hour, since
we will have at least eight substantive
committees represented there, so I believe
it would be more advantageous to stay on
schedule as Chairman Powers state. How-
ever, it would set a bad precedent for us
to change our time of adjournment or
recess for lunch each day, when people
are making plans and schedules based on
this.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Powers. He has the floor.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman,
under the circumstances, and in view of
the fact that we have planned an hour and
a half, I move that the Committee of the
Whole rise and report to the Convention
that it has not yet concluded its considera-
tion of the general orders. I would propose,
when we did rise and the Convention con-
vened, to move that we recess until 1:30
P.M. |
THE CHAIRMAN: Is the motion sec-
onded?
(Whereupon, the motion was seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: The question arises
on the motion that the Committee of the
Whole rise and report to the Convention
that it has under consideration Committee
Recommendation LB-I and request permis-
sion to sit again. All those in favor, signify
by saying Aye; contrary, No.
The Chair is in doubt. A vote Aye is a
vote in favor of the motion to rise.
A vote No is a vote against.
All those in favor of the motion to rise
please vote Aye; opposed, vote No.
PLENARY SESSION
NOVEMBER 8,1967—12:06 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
Have all delegates voted?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 76 votes in the affirmative
and 38 in the negative, the motion carries.
(Whereupon, at 12:06 P.M., the Committee
of the Whole rose, and the Convention re-
convened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
THE PRESIDENT: The Convention will
please come to order.
On behalf of the Committee of the Whole,
1 report that the Committee of the Whole
has under consideration Committee Recom-
mendation LB-I, and still has it under con-
sideration and desires to sit again. The
Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move we recess until 1:30 P.M.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Hardwicke. |
