1	THE CHAIRMAN: How about persons holding
2	military office? That's in that same question.
3	DELEGATE MANDEL: I've never understood the
4	reason for that.
5	MR. ENEY: It's goes back to historical
6	reasons, the fear of the military, civilian control of
7	the military.
8	SENATOR JAMES: I know reserve officers can
9	serve.
10	DELEGATE KIRCHER: Some of our reserve offi-
11	cers and also National Guard people.
12	THE CHAIRMAN: The interpretation is that they
13	are not fully active officers.
14	SENATOR JAMES: I think that could be quali-
15	fied some.
16	DELEGATE HARDWICKE: Historically speaking,
17	I think keeping the military out of the legislature is
18	very well founded, if you go back to Napoleon's time and
19	THE CHAIRMAN: Perhaps the word active should
20	be put in there, so no one has any guilt feelings about
21	being in the reserves.
