A PROPOSAL that the governor or the
General Assembly be empowered to enter
into agreements with the federal govern-
ment and the governments of other states
to conserve natural resources and to pre-
vent erosion of land.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Proposal
No. 232 is referred to the Committee on
Local Government.
Although these two proposals, numbers
23I and 232 are referred to the Committee
on Local Government, I request the Com-
mittee on the Executive Branch to take
note of these proposals, because it was
questionable which of the two committees
it should be referred to.
For what purpose did Delegate Scanlan
rise?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: It may seem
incredible, but a number of my Delegates
here do not have Delegate Proposal No.
232, and we would not want to miss it.
(Applause.)

they are distributed.
