following the conclusion of the session in
the basement of the Shaw House, more ac-
curately described as the house nearest the
bar of the Treadway Inn, but we will con-
sider at that time three things: the pending
resolution to create a committee on public
information, a report from our sub-commit-
tee on the manner of filling vacancies, and
finally, a report from the sub-committee on
the question of absences from attendance at
the Convention.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Boyer?
DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. President, the
Committee on General Provisions will meet
immediately after the session until possibly
6:30 P.M. and will hear testimony from our
witnesses who are plentiful. We will ad-
journ for dinner and come back to work
until some indefinite time this evening.
I am just tentatively giving the schedule
so we can conduct ourselves accordingly.
We will again meet tomorrow morning at
ten o'clock and continue hearing delibera-
tions and receiving contributions from the
many witnesses we have on this phase of
education "constitutional recognition."
Thank you, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Any other an-
nouncements by committee chairmen ? If
not, are there any delegates present who
were not present at roll call who desire to
record their presence ? Delegate Grum-
bacher?
DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: I wish to
be recorded as present, though tardy.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Stern?
DELEGATE STERN: I wish to be re-
corded as present.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
delegates absent at roll call who desire to
record their presence ?
DELEGATE VECERA: Mr. President, I
would like to make a motion at this time
that we form an entertainment committee
for the purpose of having at least one so-
cial affair at this great convention.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second to
Delegate Vecera's motion ?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
Is there any discussion? Are you ready
for the question? The question arises on
the motion that there be formed an enter-
tainment committee to make arrangements
for at least one social affair during this con-
vention. All those in favor, signify by say- |
ing Aye. Contrary, No. The Ayes have it.
It is so ordered.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President, I
move we adjourn until tomorrow, Tuesday,
September 19, at 2:00 P.M.
THE PRESIDENT: Just a moment. My
attention has been called to the fact that
someone else was trying to get the atten-
tion of the Chair.
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: Mr. Presi-
dent—
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Taylor.
DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: Mr. President,
the Personal Rights Committee was con-
cerned about finding the fifty constitutions
of other states, and one. of our members
asked about forty constitutions. I wonder
if the Convention has available the consti-
tutions of the other states, or if they are
available?
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Taylor, I
do not think that the Commission has the
complete text of the constitution of every
state. However, it has a number of copies
of a publication called the Index to the
State Constitutions, which have been placed
in the library of the Convention. This is an
index digest of the provisions of all state
Constitutions arranged by subject matter,
and I think you will find in it just about
the answer to every question you would
have as to the provisions of state Consti-
tutions. It is published annually and is
therefore current.
Delegate Winslow?
DELEGATE WINSLOW: Mr. President,
copies of the constitutions of all fifty states,
down through and including Michigan in
1964, are available in the law library.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Delegate
Winslow.
Does anyone else desire to be recognized ?
If not, Delegate Powers, will you make your
motion again please ?
DELEGATE POWERS: I repeat the mo-
tion that we adjourn until tomorrow, Tues-
day, September 19, 1967, 2:00 P.M.
THE PRESIDENT: All in favor, signify
by saying Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes
have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 4:57 P.M., the Convention
was adjourned to reconvene at 2:00 P.M.
on Tuesday, September 19, 1967.) |
