Action: Adopted as amended (4)
The President introduced Omnibus Resolution B, as printed in TB, 2B:251–52, noting that Overtures 5-28 and 6-17 have both been
assigned to Omnibus Resolution A (the former, to the Commission on Constitutional Matters, and the latter, to the Council of
Presidents) and are therefore no longer included in Omnibus Resolution B. It was moved and seconded to remove Overtures 9-34, 9-35,
9-36, and 9-37 from Omnibus Resolution B and to refer them to Floor Committee 9. The motion carried [Yes: 497; No: 413]. A motion
to call the question on the omnibus failed [Yes: 508; No: 406]. An advisory delegate spoke in favor of removing Overture 9-22 from
Omnibus Resolution B and referring it to Floor Committee 9; a voting delegate subsequently moved this as an amendment and obtained
a second. The motion carried [Yes: 583; No: 340]. Noting the orders of the day, the chair called the question; closure of debate carried
[Yes: 715; No: 164]. Omnibus Resolution B was adopted as amended [Yes: 796; No: 105].
