after recognizing Delagate Weidemeyer.

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Mr. Chairman, and members

3

of the Committee: Delegate Miller raised the question, and

4

I want to clarify my question, because every member of

5

our committee is very sympathetic and favorable to the

6

right to know, therefore the minority report, when the

7

committee could not act on the matter, the minority brought

8

the subject up before the Committee of the Whole.

9

However, subject 24 -A is the amendment or

10

provision which I had drafted, or prepared to our committee,

11

because it is a matter of approach.

12

The 24th amendment opens the floodgates to

13

everything, and forces the legislature to pass closing-door

14

is enactments that would close off in certain areas, and I

15

want to point out to you with this new draft Constitution,

16

time after time again you have made new provisions and you

17

said, to be established by law, the legislature would have

18

to hold extended hearings of all bureaus and commissions

19

and everything else to get the concept of where the door

20

should be closed, and I don't think they would be able to

21

get that legislation written for the next seven or eight

years with all the other things they have got to do.
