There is a fair chance that I will be able to have an answer for you
by Wednesday November 27. I found a source that has told me it might
be able to help me, but it will take a few days for them to get a copy
of the speech if it is available. I also need to know if you require
an exact transcription, or if a paraphrasing of the speech would be
useful?

Just to let you know that I received a reply which said that the
speech was unavailable from my source. Hopefully someone else will be
able to help you find it.

There appears to be no online text of the speech. However, there are
three sources from which you might request a copy (no guarantee that
the request will be honored). Would those be sufficient?

James Killelea (or Killalea, see below) addressed the Democratic
Convention on July 14, 1976 to nominate Ellen McCormack as candidate
for President. The nomination was in opposition to abortion. There was
a seconding speech, also. McCormack received 22 votes in the
convention, which nominated Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale.

There does not appear to be an online copy of Killelea's speech, but
there are sources online from which it is possible that a copy might
be obtained.

Just thought I'd post my efforts, for your sake and the
sake of any other researchers looking into this. I was
unable to find anything.
