be appropriate at this time to find out from
the members of the Committee whether
there are in fact other members who would
like to speak either pro or con with respect
to this minority report.
THE CHAIRMAN: I do not think so.
In view of the debate schedule, the only
motion that would be in order would be a
motion for the Committee to rise and re-
quest the Convention to amend the debate
schedule.
DELEGATE GLEASON; Mr. Chairman,
I wonder if I might ask if I could move that
the Committee rise to allow me to have
about four minutes to wrap up my pre-
sentation. I did not have time to speak with
respect to the specific amendment, with the
understanding that the Chairman for the
Majority would have similar time.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there a second to
the motion? The motion is that the Com-
mittee rise for the purpose of a question
to the Convention, to amend the debate
schedule to allow an additional four min-
utes of controlled debate for the proponents
and four minutes of controlled debate for
the opponents.
Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Powers for comment.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman,
we have been on this particular amend-
ment for approximately two and a half
hours. The time that was allotted for
limited debate was agreed to by both sides.
That was ten minutes per side controlled
debate, twenty minutes uncontrolled debate,
a total of forty minutes, and the presenta-
tion took the rest of the time.
Delegate Gleason went very thoroughly
into the matter during the presentation
and responded to many questions, and from
the point of view of the Committee on
Calendar and Agenda, we feel that any-
thing further would not be of any addi-
tional benefit in the delegates reaching a
decision on a vote on this amendment, and
we hope the motion will fail.
THE CHAIRMAN: The question arises
on the motion that the Committee recess
and request that the Convention amend the
debate schedule for the proponent and an
additional four minutes of controlled time
for the opponent. A vote Aye is a vote in
favor of the motion to rise, and a vote No
is a vote against. |
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
All those in favor, signify by saying
Aye; opposed, No. The Noes seem to have
it.
DELEGATE HUTCHINSON: Roll call.
THE CHAIRMAN: A roll call requires
ten seconders.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the Com-
mittee rising for the purpose indicated; a
vote No. a vote against. Indicate your vote.
Have all delegates voted? Does anyone
desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 75 votes in the affirmative
and 60 in the negative, the motion carries.
The Committee will rise.
(Whereupon, at 3:30 P.M., the Commit-
tee of the Whole rose, and the Convention
reconvened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)

ment No. 4.
Is there a motion? Will you make such
a motion, Delegate Gleason?

(Whereupon, the motion was duly made.)
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
DELEGATE SOSNOWSKI: Second. |
