of the two publications by the Citizens Conference and by
the Council of State Legislatures and combine them you will
find that of those states which do not have a constitutional
provision requiring the majority of those elected, you will
find that all but two of them limit by rule the majority
which is required for the passage of the bills and that four
of those states which have no constitutional orovision
respecting passage have a two-thirds cruorum reouirement
fixed in their constitutions, so that the number of states
which are using a provision in any way similar to that
which is being offered by the majority here, is very much
more limited than they would have you suggest.
I might also comment with respect to one thing.
THE CHAIRMAN: You have one-quarter minute.
DELEGATE GILCHRIST: If enough members of a
particular House do not wish to have a bill passed, per-
haps it should not be oassed.
THE CHAIRMAN- Under the debate schedule there
is now available a maximum of ten minutes of limited but
: uncontrolled time. Is there any further discussion?
Are you ready for the question.
