DELEGATE WILLONER: This has language modifying

8

"except as otherwise prescribed by law". At the present

9

time a federal statute requires the welfare records to

10

be kept secret. So this would not be covered, but this

11

provision is not to be operative, it will be covered in

12

the transitory provisions until we pick the very delightful

13

date, July 4, 1970, and this would give the legislature

14

time to take up any problems. So it won't be any problem.

15

We have attached a model statute that we lifted

16

from the Harvard Law Review for thpse of us who don't like

17

Harvard, perhaps that was a bad choice, but in any event

18

it does show how this kind of problem can be solved by

19
