The first item of business is the election of a Chairman, as provided in Article 23 of the Regulations. May I call upon the Members of the Committee for nominations for Chairman? (If only one person is nominated) The Secretary of State: In view of the fact that only one nomination has been made, it would appear to be the desire of the Committee that Mr. be the Chairman. I wish to ask the members of the Committee, therefore, whether they desire to dispense with the secret ballot provided for in Article 14 of the Regulations and to proceed with the election of the Chairman by a simple show of hands.
