THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Taylor, you have used

DELEGATE TAYLOR: I want to finish by saying

DELEGATE KIEFER: Mr. Chairman and ladies and
gentlemen:
I rise to oppose this amendment, and I will
do so by saying to you that this is a concept of reproba-
tion and restoration of criminals. I don't have any
objection to it per se, but this is purely a statutory
matter. We could literally load this Constitution with
all kinds of things similar to this.
