it necessary to be absent from
the Senate Floor during a roll call
vote. The reason might be: absence
due to committee work in Wash
ington or elsewhere: absence due
to a conference at the White
House; absence due to other Of
fetal business: or absence due to
any one of a dozen other reasons.
When a Senator finds he must
be absent from Capitol Hill at a
time when an important vote is
expected to be taken, he finds a
live pair that is. he finds d
Senator on the opposite of the
question and asks him to pair "
That means that the second Sena-
tor, instead voting yea" or nay,
will announce the live pair, in
dicating which of the pair is
for" and which is against" or
he will have the Party Floor
leader do so, even though the
Senator may be present on the
Senate Floor during the vote-tak-
ing.
An illustration Of this was the
final vote taken last week on
Alaska statehood. I was paired for
statehood. and Senator Ives of New
York paired against" statehood.
Senator Ives found that he could
not be present, and 1 agreed to
pair. During the several days
of debate. I had voted against al
"crippling" amendments and Sena-
tor Ives had voted for them. 1t
was evident that we we're on OPP
posite sides Of the Alaska state
hood question all the way. Had
Senator Ives been able TO be
present for the final vote, he
would have then voted yea thus
adding one vote to each side.
would have voted nay and
Our pairing" had exactly the
same effect as though We had
voted nav" and YEA" respective
