We may want to skip over to Page 10. I am

doing this only in the interest of time now. Do any of

you want to comnent on the selection of judges section?

JUDGE CARTER: I think the same district philos-
|
|

ophy prevails there.

JUDGE PROCTOR: Why, as a matter of curiosity,
|
|

on term, why did you shorten the term to one year rather

|
|
19
|
instead of one year after the one year following Ids ap-
|
|
20
|
pointment, instead of one year. That is, two instead of
|
|
21
|
one, and then serves for 12. That could result in only
