feel free .

3

Dr. Pullen, several weeks ago in this room

4

we had the former and present Governors of the State of

5

Maryland address us and 1, for one, was quite intrigued

6

with some remarks that former Governor Lane, who is the

7

Honorary Chairman of this Commission, as well, made with

8

regard to the inviolacy of school funds. He made them

9

somewhat offhandedly, but he indicated that there was a

10

certain amount of flexibility involved here, and I

11

wonder if you could comment on that, as a practical

12

matter, from your experience?

13

DR. PULLEN: Well, Governor Lane in ray opinion

14

is probably one of the two or three most enlightened

15

statesmen that 1 ever knew.

16

THE CHAIRLADY: He thinks very well of you.

17

DR. PULLEH: Good. I didn't know he said that

18

but I say that for several reasons. First, the man is

19

educated. The man has a deep sense of government and he

20

wants to do the right thing and, above everything else,

21

an official in Maryland could sit down with Governor Lane
