DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chairman, and ladies

5

and gentlemen of the Convention, have the honor to present

6

on behalf of the Committee on the Legislative Branch the

7

third, and hopefully the final report of that particular

8

Committee. It covers three aspects of legislative branch

9

activity, they being the question of congressional re-

10

districting, the question of the continuity of government

11

in case of disasters, either natural or man-made, and the

12

third is the question of corporate charters of the State of

15

Maryland which enjoy certain tax exemptions by virtue of

14

the fact that they were enacted prior to. 1851.

15

Taking first the question of congressional

16

redistricting, you will remember that when we were presentin

17

LB-2 an amendment was presented calling for congressional

18

redistricting, and this was sent back to the Committee

19

for consideration as a part of LB-3, which was adopted and

20

which you have before you together with the Committee

21

Recommendation comments.
