the Whole, or a subcommittee of the Convention, so those

2

people also would be required to register and they would

witness.

We do not require registration by any person

6

who just appears to present his own point of view.

7

We don t require -- we propose we not require the

8

registration of any elected or appointed official of this

9

state appearing in his ordinary course of duties.

10

Similarly any elected or appointed official of this

11

state, when advocating his own views, would not be

12

required to register. Let us give an example.

13

If, say, the County Attorney of my county,

14

Montgomery County, came down to present Montgomery County's

15

views, I don't think he should be required to register.

16

On the other hand, if the county association or the

17

association of counties chose him as their spokesman

18

to present their views on a particular subject before

19

the Convention, then he too would at least have to

20

register and indicate the fact that he spoke for others

21

apart from himself.
