to leave the Court of Appeals building
front steps at 9:00 A.M. tomorrow morning,
November 14, and return immediately after
the mass. For further details see Delegate
Ed Clarke of Montgomery County.
Does anyone wish to take advantage of
this pause to make an announcement?
The Chair recognizes Delegate Scanlan.
DELEGATE SCANLAN: Mr. President,
the Rules Committee will meet tomorrow
at 12:30 P.M. in the basement of the Shaw
House to consider Motion No. 6. That mo-
tion proposes a limitation on the number
of times a delegate may speak in the Com-
mittee of the Whole, and we invite any-
body who is interested in this proposal to
appear before us.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chair-
man, the Committee on the Legislative
Branch will convene at 8:00 P.M. on
Wednesday evening to consider those mat-
ters which were not disposed of in our
first report. That will be Wednesday at
8:00 P.M.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Bennett.
DELEGATE BENNETT: Mr. President,
may I ask Delegate Koss if, when, and
whether the question of initiative is going
to come before the Convention?
DELEGATE KOSS: There is a Minority
Report, I think number C, on the question
of initiative, so therefore it will come be-
fore this body. When it will come is de-
pendent upon the body.
THE CHAIRMAN: It is the last item.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Sickles.
DELEGATE SICKLES: Mr. Chairman,
I hesitate to rise. However, we are wait-
ing, and I assume I may trespass on the
time of the house for just a minute. I have
noticed since I have been here that quite
a few of us are walking around sort of
sniffling and passing our colds around from
one person to another. I am not sure that
many of you are aware of this, but there
is sort of a general legislator's disease in
that it is a rather unusual life that we
lead. We find ourselves spending many
hours just sitting and listening, and it is,
of course, much more fatiguing than we
would ever admit to ourselves, although
sometimes we try to impress the folks back
home as to how hard we are working. |
I wanted to share with you something
that was promulgated in the House of
Representatives a few years ago by Ad-
miral Carver, who was the attending physi-
cian. In an attempt to keep the United
States Congressmen alive, both Senators
and House of Representatives members, he
put out his Ten Commandments of Health.
Number I is eat wisely; number 2 is
drink plentifully—of water; number 3 is
eliminate thoroughly; number 4 is bathe
cleanly, number 5 is exercise rationally;
number 6 is important—accept inevitables;
number 7, play enthusiastically—not here
on the house floor; number 8, relax com-
pletely; number 9, check up occasionally;
and number 10 is sleep sufficiently, and
again, not here on the house floor.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Boyer.
DELEGATE BOYER: The General Pro-
visions Committee will meet immediately
after we recess here. Hopefully we will not
be long enough to interfere with your din-
ner hour, but it is very important that we
do have a meeting immediately after this
recess.
THE CHAIRMAN: We will just have
to relax until the amendment arrives.
The Committee will come to order.
We now have on hand the printed copy
of Amendment No. 5, being offered by Dele-
gates Gilchrist, Scanlan, and Freedlander.
The Clerk will read the amendment.
For what purpose does Delegate Boileau
rise?
DELEGATE BOILEAU: A personal
privilege.
THE CHAIRMAN: The delegate may
proceed.
DELEGATE BOILEAU: On most of
your desks you will find a bulletin from
the Maryland Municipal League, and in
that bulletin the League disaffirms the pro-
posal in LG-1. I would like to note that
this bulletin is 180 degrees against the
position which I have taken, and because
of this disagreement I am forced to sub-
mit my resignation as Executive Secretary
of the Maryland Municipal League. I
simply request that those of you reading
this bulletin not attach it to my name or
not consider me as a part of it.
Thank you. |
