Then recognizing the same difficulty which
Delegate Barrick recognized, that there was no after-the-
fact power conferred upon the Governor with respect to
this fourth category to allow him explicitly to use the
militia, it was the intention of the amendment to take
care of both the pre-happening and the post-happening of
the great damage to life and property. So the purpose,
therefore, is to take care of both situations, one before
the fact, one after the fact.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any further discussion?
Delegate Hardwicke.
DELEGATE HARDWICKE: Will Delegate Gallagher
yield for a question?
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Yes.
DELEGATE HARDWICKE: Is your language "may
have occurred," is that intended to be indefinite or did
you not really mean to say "is threatened" or "has occurred"
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: I think it is a question
of the use of the language. My intention is to allow the
Governor to act after the occurrence. |
