Mr. President, I should like to make a brief statement about this . particular amendment, to establish some legislative history with the distinguished. Senator from New Mexico. It Is. my understanding and compre- hension of the btli that there wHl not be any votes In the ordinary consideration of matters before the Commission: To. this end. this language has been placed tn the bill, in subparagraph (d) on page 12: In the work of the Commlaslon every rea. sonable endeavor shaH be made to arrive at a CODBensua of all members on al1lssuee; but falllng thla. rull opportunity aball be afforded. each member for the presentaUoD and. re. port at lndlvldual vie...... Then, at the end of the same para- graph, It is provided: The posltlon of the ohalrman, acting in behalf of the Federal memberll, and the vice chairman, acting upon Intltructlona of the 8tate membera, ah.all be recorded. My Quest.1on related to the word "recorded." I do not know whether "recorded" puts this provision In the category of requirIng a vote or not. The word Is indefinite. Perhaps its meaning should be made clear. Mr. ANDERSON. I agree with the Senator from Colorado. I had a different view. I thought "recorded" might mean that the result was put into a transcriber and forgotten. But when It Is "set forth in the RECORD:' I understand It. I am therefore happy to accept the amend- ment. Mr. ALLO'IT. I would have been pre.. pared to leave the blil as it was 11 the Senator's version had been accepted. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the amendment 18 agreed to. . Mr. ALLOTT.

In page 17, line 5, beginning with the word "In.', It Is proposed to strike all . through line 6. Mr. .ALLOTT.
