2	people. Raymond Goupil, Chairman of the Rochester
3	Taxpayers Association, has charged Governor King and the
4	state with being unfair in not allocating part of the
5	lottery taxes to parochial schools. He maintains that
6	the system of distribution is grossly unfair since in
7	some communities 75 per cent of the students are in
8	Catholic parochial schools. Goupil stated that the
9	Governor wanted all credit for legalizing the lottery
10	and consequently should be blamed for discrimination
11	in the tax allocation. That is a problem that has come
12	up in connection with that and in that regard.
13	I want to make this other statement also. I
14	want it perfectly clear that so far as I personally am
15	concerned, I speak for myself. In our church polity and
16	procedure no Baptist speaks for any other Baptist other
17	than himself. I have no right to speak in any other
18	means but I do believe I am in a better position to speak
19	for Baptists generally than Mr, Pressman would be and
20	it is for that reason that I come to at least give some
21	comments since I happen to have the position that I do.
