THE CHAIRMAN: You have one minute. Delegate
Gleason.
DELEGATE GLEASON: Recently, within the past
two or three weeks a situation developed in the State of
Michigan. I would refer you to the fact that Michigan is
one of the 26 states that requires a majority of the mem-
bers elected to pass a bill. At that time the Governor o
the State had recommended for part of his procrram a hill tc
be adopted by the lecrislature of Michigan, and I have to
say, it was members of my own party that took a walk and
they brought that legislature to a standstill and they
couldn't pass that legislation because they required a
majority of the members voting and elected. This is what
the majority report gets at. We want to free the hands of
the legislature so that if at any time you have a vigilant
minority that says, we are not going to cooperate and
pass legislature, we are going to go home, the legislature
will not be brought to a standstill.
I would urcre you to reject the minority report.
