broad judicial function, such an office should be estab-
lished to operate free of the policy making controls of the
executive.
In previous debates in the committee of the
Whole, a number of us responded to the phrase "high visi-
bility." I call today, fellow delegates, for the highest
possible visibility in the operations of sensitive legal
matters, visibility which can only be increased by the
election of an independent legal officer, responsible to
each and every citizen.
In previous actions this month, the Committee
of the Whole took the people out of the judicial system;
decreased the number and diminished the size of legislative
districts and disposed of a substantial number of Constitu-
tional offices which had been popularly elected. Where
and when, fellow delegates, do we stop telling the people
of this State that they are not qualified to choose their
leaders?
No evidence has been presented to our committee
that the attorney general has not served our State with
distinction, representing the people honestly and fairly.
