i that may solve our problem, but I will withdraw the
amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment is withdrawn. Do
you have a decision on Amendment U?
DELEGATE GALLAGHER; Yes. I would like to offer
it, please.
THE CHAIRMAN: Pages will please distribute
Amendment U.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chairman, may I address
please, just briefly to Mr. Dulany's withdrawal of his
amendment?
THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, indeed.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: I think it would be our
intention, of our committee, where you have a county
which composes in population the majority of a senate
or House district that hopefully the commission and the
General Assembly will start composing that district with
that county as its initiating subdivision, so that there
won't be a predisposition to unnecessarily divide.
I think that would be a reasonable interpreta-
tion of the committee's will.
