30                          JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS                 [March 8

my belief that if the failure to pass this Bill would, in the opinion of the
Senate of Maryland, create or leave a serious gap in the administration of
justice, then I would recommend consideration of the merits of the Bill
since such judicial administration must function without impairment
throughout the State.

Respectfully yours,

Theodore R. McKeldin,

Governor.
Which was read.
