DELEGATE MARION: Mr. President, had you

3

inserted the words "by law" on line 20 on page 45?

4

THE PRESIDENT: The words "by law" on page

5

45 of line 20 have been inserted.

Delegate Marion.

7

DELEGATE MARION: I raise a question about

8

that, Mr. President, because I wonder whether if those

9

words are inserted it would lead to the construction that

10

before a referendum were to be provided on any such

11

law a separate law would have to be enacted providing

12

that such a referendum take place.

13

As I understand the intent, it is to permit the

14

General Assembly to provide in a law pertaining to a

15

popularly representative regional government that the law

16

it enacts be submitted to referendum.

17

THE PRESIDENT: I think the point is well

18

taken. It was discussed. Do you object to the change?

19

DELEGATE MARION: I think so. I would like

20

to see what Delegate Moser has to say, whether he concurs

21

or not.
