the nation and in the Congress of the United States, the
narrow state action concept is being expanded to meet the
needs, so that I don't think that this language -- it is
not our intention that this language should limit the
action of the state, to correct injustices which are
based on a denial of equal treatment under the laws be-
cause of race, religion or national origin.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gleason.
DELEGATE GLEASON: Mr. Chairman, I just have one
short question.
It has been gone over four times, and I am
still a little bit confused on Delegate Mitchell's answer.
When you say in line 6, "state", you capitalize "State",
and realizing in this Constitution we deal not only with
a state government but with counties, municipalities,
possibly sometime in the future regional political organi-
zations, is it your intention that the word "State" in-
cludes all of the political subdivisions within the state,
including counties, municipalities, and so forth?
THE CHAIRMEN: Delegate Mitchell.
DELEGATE MITCHELL: Yes, that is our intention.
