1

has to be a. constitutional limitation rather than just

2

a statutory limitation? I would visualize or I would

3

hope, as Mr. Hardwicke said, that this Constitution

4

would be drawn and would last for quite a long time,

5

that we're spending a lot of time on it now and that

6

it would be good for a number of years. Why could it

7

not be a statutory provision that could be modified

8

easily so with any change in the State makeup.

9

THE CHAIRMAN: You mean the length of the

10

sessions?

11

DELEGATE KIRCHER: Length of the session,

12

limitation as to number of days, rather than being a

13

specific constitutional provision. It would have to

14

go all the way through a constitutional amendment, say

15

10 or 15 years from now when possibly, as Mr. Hardwicke

16

pointed out, we may go into a different form of govern-

17

ment.

18

THE CHAIRMAN: If you were writing the

19

Constitution, how would you write this particular clause?

20

DELEGATE KIRCHER: That this would be pro-

21

vided by law, the same as the salaries.
