Section 9.06, we are dealing not alone with the oyster

2

industry and natural resources. We are also dealing with

3

natural environment and with scenic beauty of the State.

4

Here we are in an area which is unchartered,

5

undefined. In this area we should place upon the General

6

Assembly the responsibility of determining the charter,

7

the definition, and the area in which action should be

8

taken. It shall be left by the provisons of this section

9

to the General Assembly by law, and where we are permitting

10

it to act by law, with the other exceptions that are con-

11

tained in Section 3.22, which will remain there, there will

12

be variation where necessary from county to county. There

13

will be a cooperation between the General Assembly setting

14

the standards and the counties operating beneath that

15

level in execution of those standards, and we will truly

16

have the cooperation between the General Assembly and

17

the counties to benefit and to execute what is for the

18

general welfare of the entire State across the board and

19

throughout the entire State.

THE PRESIDENT: You have one quarter minute,

Delegate Clagett.
