for the question? The question arises on
the adoption of the committee's addition to
Rule 28 [29]. All in favor, signify by say-
ing Aye; contrary, No. The amendment is
adopted. Delegate Scanlan?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: I now move
the committee's recommendation that a new
Rule 28 [29] be added to the rules under
which the substantive reports, reports of
substantive committees must reach the Com-
mittee of the Whole by November 17, 1967.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Any discussion?
Delegate Chabot?
DELEGATE CHABOT: As I said, I do
not believe that we need these goals. I be-
lieve that Rule 30 [32], which permits the
Convention to take any matter from any
committee at any time that the Conven-
tion feels it ought to come before the Con-
vention is sufficient. I feel that the provision
of a specific date in Rule 28A [30] creates
an unnecessary and probably, as the date
approaches, quite inconvenient limitation
on the consideration that the committees
ought to give to the many proposals that
are and will be put before them.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any further
discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on the adoption of a
new Rule 28A [30] as printed in the com-
mittee's report. An affirmative vote is a
vote in favor of the additional rule. All
those in favor, signify by saying Aye; con-
trary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered. Delegate Scanlan?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: I now move
the adoption of the committee's proposed
amendment to Rule 36 [38] to eliminate an
inconsistency between that rule and Rule
54 [58] and to make it clear that the Com-
mittee of the Whole can refer its report
to the Committee on Style.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any discus-
sion?

time limitation could be established on pro-
posals before the Committee of the Whole.

Delegate Scanlan?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: I move adop-
tion of the committee's proposed amend-
ment to Rule 48 [52] under which the mov-
ing of the previous question would not
take down all pending amendments, but
will be limited to merely the question
covered at the time.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?

sion ?

ment to Rule 48 [52], signify by saying

DELEGATE SCANLAN: I would like to
move, "RESOLVED. That the Secretary of
the Constitutional Convention be empow-
ered to correct any errors and cross refer-
ences, enumeration, pagination, grammar,
spelling," et cetera.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE PRESIDENT: The question—any
discussion?
