in a lot of respects. You can introduce all types of
|
|
2
|
bills in either house and, if you're going to maintain

two houses and try to preserve some form of checks and
|

grow as the population grew.

Mr. Clagett?

MR. CLAGETT: I would rather just think out
|
|
19
|
loud rather than necessarily at this point be committed
|
|
20
|
to a position, because occupying the status of another
|
|

|
committee rather than the Legislative Committee, there
