have been studies made in the area of gambling by enough
|
|
2
|
committees that would establish the fact that we could
|
|

|
certainly include this in our Constitution as something

|
to weaken or to destroy the people would not be out of

|
of excluding this, I would be in favor of broadening it.
|
|

|
MR. SACHS: Thank you.

THE CHAIRMAN: One point you made in your

|
19
|
letter, Mr. Greshas, that interested me was the statement
|
|

|
that gambling prevents commercial growth and keeps
|
|

|
industry out of a state. You were quoting the NBC White
