the militia. It has its phase of being the Maryland
National Guard and has its phase of becoming militia.
I don't see the problem that Delegate Wheatley sees.
THE CHAIRMAN: In ruling a moment ago that the
amendment was germane the Chair proceeded upon the assump-
tion that military of this State would mean only a military
exercising under and by force of the laws of this State,
and therefore would not embrace any National Guard ex-
cept to the extent the National Guard was covered under
the laws of this State.
If your amendment means other than that, I
would rule it not germane.
DELEGATE SCHNEIDER: Perhaps I am not quite
sure of what the Maryland National Guard is. I thought
it was a Maryland force of the military. If it is a
Federal force we would not have a problem here at all,
but I thought it was a Maryland force, and it is, as
I understand it, established under the laws of the
State of Maryland, is it not?
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair will recognize Dele-
gate E. J. Clarke, Chairman of the Subcommittee on the
Militia, for the hopeful purpose of further clarification. |
