THE CHAIRMAN: Does any delegate desire to
speak in favor of the amendment?
Delegate Hutch ins on.
DELEGATE HUTCHINSON: Mr. Chairman, this body
today is comprised of 142 men and women; I apologize.
Mr. Gallagher has spoken on many occasions about the
efficiency of his Committee. His Committee has 20 members.
I would like to suggest to Mr. Gallagher that if we
would cut the membership of this body, that we would neces-
sarily have to cut the membership of his Committee.
I would like to ask Mr. Gallagher, who would he cut if he
would have to cut individuals, and -- (Laughter) --
I would not like to think that we have placed ourselves
on such a high pedestal and think we are that much superior
intellectually than the members of the House of Delegates
to think this body can do an efficient job with 142 members
and our legislative officials can not do a job with
142 members.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does any delegate desire to
speak in opposition?
Delegate Gallagher. |
