DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE
For the record, I ask council 0131-14 to make 0131-14 to agenda. Seconded by Delegate Russell Begaye.

DELEGATE KATHERINE BENALLY
There was no proof of emergency situation. No attack of sovereignty, natural disaster. Some of you delegates may muscle this onto agenda but for the record I want to state that there is no emergency.

AS DELEGATE KATHERINE BENALLY SPEAKS, DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE STATES VERY LOUDLY, “OUT OF ORDER! OUT OF ORDER!”

DELEGATE MEL BEGAY
I ask for Council to take 10 minute recess so I can have my Legislation here before I make motion to add it to the agenda.
