gate Case's amendment. Under the circum-
stances, I suggest that you move for a re-
consideration of the vote by which Amend-
ment No. 2 was adopted so that you may
offer your amendment as a substitute to
Delegate Case's amendment.
DELEGATE SYBERT: Mr. Chairman,
the Chair may be under a misapprehension.
Is the Chair referring to the three-line
amendment with respect to the word
"shall"?
THE CHAIRMAN: No, sir. I am re-
ferring to Amendment No. 2, "that the Gen-
eral Assembly may provide referendum for
any law establishing and affecting the
powers of or dissolving popularly elected
regional governments or the creation -or
alteration of their boundaries.
As I understand your amendment, you
are proposing a substitute for these pre-
cise words.
DELEGATE SYBERT: I do not think
that is quite right.
THE CHAIRMAN: Your amendment is
to strike out lines 42 through 45.
DELEGATE SYBERT: That is correct.
THE CHAIRMAN: In order to accom-
plish your purpose, I would suggest that
you move for a reconsideration of the vote
by which Amendment No. 2 was adopted, so
that you may offer your amendment as a
substitute for Amendment No. 2.
DELEGATE SYBERT: I so move, Mr.
Chairman.
The purpose of the amendment —
THE CHAIRMAN: Just a second. Is the
motion to reconsider seconded?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
Delegate Sybert, you may proceed to
speak for the motion.
DELEGATE SYBERT: I move the adop-
tion of the amendment, which I am now
proposing. I do not know whether or not it
has been distributed, but if not is it now
ready.
THE CHAIRMAN: We are not quite in
the position to offer it. Let me put the mo-
tion to reconsider, and then I will recog-
nize you.
Is there any discussion on the motion to
reconsider? Are you ready for the question?
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the mo-
tion to reconsider the vote by which Amend-
|
ment No. 2 was adopted. A vote No is a
vote against. All in favor, signify by say-
ing Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes have it.
It is so ordered.
You now have before you Amendment
No. 2. The Chair recognizes Delegate Sy-
bert for the purpose of offering a substi-
tute amendment. Please mark it Amend-
ment No. 4. Will the Chief Page please
distribute it? The Clerk will read the
amendment.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 4
to Committee Recommendation LG-1 by
Delegate Sybert: On page 4 section 7.10,
Establishment of Multi-County Govern-
mental Units, strike out all of lines 42
through 45 and insert in lieu thereof the
following:
"No law providing for the establish-
ment or alteration of boundaries of multi-
county governmental units, popularly
elected representative regional govern-
ments, and other units of local govern-
ment, shall become effective until sub-
mitted to the voters of each county af-
fected and approved by a majority of
those voting on the question in each
such county."
THE CHAIRMAN: Deleg-ate Sybert
moves Amendment No. 4 as a substitute
for Amendment No. 2. Is his motion sec-
onded?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
The motion is seconded. The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Sybert to speak to the
Amendment No. 4.

DELEGATE SYBERT: Mr. Chairman,
in view of the adoption a few minutes ago
of Delegate Wagandt's amendment, I think
I have to delete a few words in mine in
order to make it conform.
The words that should be stricken ap-
pear in my amendment on lines 8 to 10.
THE CHAIRMAN: What words do you
strike?
DELEGATE SYBERT: In lines 8 to 10,
"popularly elected representative regional
governments, and other units of local gov-
ernment".
I think that is necessary in view of the
adoption of Delegate Wagandt's amend-
ment, which clearly shows that intergov-
ernmental authority and popularly elected
regional government are included in the
term "multi-county governmental units".
