THE PRESIDENT: I was using the word perhaps in-

2

accurately. what he is trying to point out is that a federal

3

enclave, residents of which have been disenfranchised, are

4

federal enclaves over which the United States has been ceded

5

jurisdiction, whether or not it exercises that jurisdiction

6

which it has been ceded.

7

DELEGATE KOSS: My question becomes a legal one,

6

because even though the United States has been ceded

9

jurisdiction, it doesn't choose to exercise it in some

10

cases - in some instances - and the state still has

11

jurisdiction.

12

This is my problem in accepting the language

13

that Delegate Storm wants to offer.

14

THE PRESIDENT: I don't know whether I ought to

15

answer the inquiry. It seems to me what you are doing here

16

is merely defining the kind of enclave you mean, and

17

obviously the kind of enclave you mean is one over which

18

the United States has been ceded jurisdiction.

19

Perhaps the quickest way to get at it would be

20

to submit it in the form of an amendment — it would have

21

to be by amendment, anyhow.
