DELEGATE KOSS: Delegate Storm, first of all

2

there was certainly no intent to limit the effect of

3

section 2.04 only to those enclaves in which the United

4

States indeed exercises jurisdiction.

5

May I ask you a question? If instead of the

6

words "has ceded jurisdiction" would you accept the words

7

"over which the United States has jurisdiction"?

8

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Storm.

9

DELEGATE STORM: No, because they have jurisdiction

10

over the whole country for some purposes. I really was aiming

11

this at those enclaves where there had been actually ceded

12

jurisdiction by the state legislature.

13

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Koss, I think, if the

14

Chair may be allowed to express an opinion, that the point

15

is well taken. The United States has jurisdiction over all

16

property in the State of Maryland, but you are talking here

17

only about jurisdiction ceded, exclusive jurisdiction,

18

in other words.

19

DELEGATE KOSS: Mr. President, we were not

20

talking — I don't think we were limiting this to exclusive

21

jurisdiction.
