standing from the testimony of Delegate Morgan yesterday
that there is the possibility that one of the departments
in this new system which is to be decided by the General
Assembly at a later date might be Health, Education and
Welfare, and it just seems to me that this amendment is
assuming that education will be a principal department.
I just wanted you to clarify that.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Maurer.
DELEGATE MAURER. Mrs. Key, it is my understanding
or interpretation that this does not mandate the Univer-
sity of Maryland as a principal department, but in the
event that the state public school system or the university
of Maryland should be set up as a principal department, then
the head of that department would really be, or could be
a board, and would not have to come under the single
executive to head it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Key.
DELEGATE KEY: I wondered though about the
advisability of putting in something into the Constitution
that might not be.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Maurer.
