1	the legislature, by the time he really finds the various
2	ways to do things in the legislature, his term would be
3	up or 18 months of his term would be up and he would be

5	1 can remember when I ran four years ago,
6	when we ran for congressman. It seemed like a day or
7	two later, the same congressmen were running for election
8	two years later and by that time I felt I was really
9	getting my feet on the ground in the legislature and
10	starting to learn where to go and how to do things. At
11	this time, I could have my duties complicated with the
12	campaign or have it take part of my attention away from
13	them. I feel the same as Mr. Moore, that the four-year
14	term would be a necessity and I wouldn't like the
15	staggering, from the aspect of being a member of either
16	the House or the Senate, if it were bicameral, because
17	I think that the senators or the members of the House
18	who were going to stay for the additional two years,
19	say if it were a four-year staggered term, to a four-
20	year basis, that they would have to a degree a weapon
21	that they could use in negotiating on particular bills
