Delegate Case, do you desire to speak against

S

the amendment?

4

DELEGATE CASE: Mr. Chairman, ladies and

6

gentlemen of the Committee, I think this is a very dangerous

6

amendment, and I think so for two reasons.

7

First, it violates all the chief powers principles

8

that we have adopted heretofore through the adoption of the

9

recommendations of the Local Government Committee's

10

suggestions.

11

Secondly, it is in complete violation of

12

the spirit if not the terms of Sections 421, 422 and 423

13

of the Executive Department which we have also adopted.

14

I think that the proposed amendment runs counter

15

to both of these, philosophically and practically. It

16

seems to me this serves as nothing but a witch hunt, where

17

the terms and provisions which I have already referred

18

to adequately take care of the case, so I would hope

19

that the amendment would be defeated.

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Grant, do you take the
