Representative Watson objects to transmittal of (00-S 2626 as amended) and (00-S 2477 as amended) and requests that they be held on the desk.

The Honorable Speaker rules that Representative Watson's objection to transmittal is rendered untimely by Rule 48, since this is the last day of session.

Representative Watson rises on a point of order to suggest that this may not be the last day, inasmuch as that it will not be apparent until the end of the day's session if it is, in fact, the last day.

NAYS -O.

The Honorable Speaker further states that the wording of Rule 48 obviously contemplates that someone determine when the last day has arrived, and that under Rule 2 that power would fall to the Speaker, despite the fact that subsequent events might occasionally prove that determination to have been overly hopeful.
