1

state-wide congressional election in 1972, and every tenth

2

year thereafter, we will have a logical mandate to the

3

legislature to redistrict immediately after the 1970

4

census, and if the Federal Government holds consistent,

6

we will have a census in '70, we will have one in '80, so that

6

would make it very consistent. We will have a good section

7

without having the freezing language left in that would

8

hamper and hamstring and make inflexible the law for

9

the activity of the legislature in this field.

10

I urge adoption of the amendment, Mr. President,

11

and hope that we can leave the legislature with something

12

with which they can work.

13

THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions of the

14

sponsor of the amendment? The Chair hears none.

Delegate Gallagher.

17

complete, will the reading clerk please read amendment No.
