"exercises" should be changed, because the effect of it

5

would be to enfranchise people on federal enclaves as to

6

which the United States exercised jurisdiction, but would not

7

enfranchise residents on federal enclaves over which the

8

United States had jurisdiction but did not exercise it.

Was this your point, Delegate Storm?

10

DELEGATE STORM: Mr. President, I wish I had

11

gotten you to write my memorandum. That is the point

12

exactly.

13

THE PRESIDENT: What he suggests is that in line

14

30 on page 2 it might be desirable to change the word

15

"exercises", strike out the word "exercises" and insert the

16

words "has been ceded", so that all persons on federal

17

enclaves over which the United States has jurisdiction

18

and who thereby are deemed nonresidents of Maryland, would

19

be enfranchised, whether or not the United States exercises

20

the jurisdiction.
