The Chair recognizes Councilman Clarke.

Thank you, Madam President. Stated - 6/2/05 Madam President, over the last several days there's been what I consider to be some rather productive discussion on this particular bill. I think we're getting close to a resolution, but I think we need to have a little bit more discussion. So I would like to ask today the sponsor of the bill to hold it for one week so we can hopefully finalize and come to some conclusion on this particular bill.

The Chair recognizes Councilman Nutter.

Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, Councilman Clarke is absolutely correct. And I appreciate his request, which is, in our tradition, generally accommodated when a member makes such a request. Given the important nature of this particular matter, it is timely as we try to make significant improvement in the Stated - 6/2/05 public health environment while also respecting and trying to understand some of the additional concerns. I will work with, of course, Councilman Clarke. And there are other members of this body who have particular interest and concerns. So I expect to spend the next week diligently working with my colleagues so that we can both work to a resolution, maintain at the same time the fundamental principles that people should not have to risk their lives to hold down a job, cover as many workplaces as possible to the maximum extent; and whatever we do, make sure that those principles are adhered to in the most strict fashion. So I look forward to the work, and we hopefully expect to be back next week with what may be the final components of a smoke-free legislation here in Philadelphia. Thank you, Madam President.

Thank you. That will conclude our calendar for Stated - 6/2/05 today. Are there speeches on the part of the minority? (No response.)

Are there speeches on the part of the majority? (No response.)
