If you cut this thing down to the bare bones
for the purpose of efficiency, you are going to cut us
out of the picture. When you got one-man, one-vote, what we
are trying to do for the time being--we do not know what
is going to happen, what the population movement is going
to be. A long time ago in England,when the Parliament first
came into being, it talked about communities of interest
people of a certain interest having some representation.
That is what we are fighting for. We are, as you know, succes-
sors to the English Parliament. We are fighting for some
representation in this General Assembly. One man, one vote.
Let me tell you one thing. I have said this in the committee
Somebody reminded me I forgot to say this this morning.
You city people are going to have a hard time eating
bricks and cement.
(Laughter)
You may laugh. Very true. You may laugh. But
I represent one of those small groups that still feed you
folks and I hope to keep on doing it, Mr. President. But
when you cut us down to the bare bones, you are cutting us
out of consideration almost completely. |
