necessary to satisfy each member of the Committee that

taken by the Commission as a whole at this stage, being

7

merely a broad grant of authority, mandates one position

8

or the other as to how that broad grant of authority shall

be defined. I think it gives us an Indication of thinking

10

but nevertheless I don't think it binds us to take what-

11

ever point of view we may want to take on the matter.

the Federal Constitution, or whether it will be a broad

18

20

the Legislature to then go ahead and define as the Legis-

21

lature being the source of authority to the local home

 

rule unfit
