been instructed to prepare minority report,

which he would not be able to perform unless

the minority an opportunity to express their
views he would not press the motion. Mr..

to make its report until after the report of
the Committee on Credentials had been pre-
scented. No vote had been taken on the request
OF the minority for an opportunity to present
their views. He thought, however, that cour-

them. At this point Mr. Frye withdrew his
