the rightness or wrongness Of the Presidents ruling with

have to abide by the majority rule. 1t doesn't mean that
gives the majority a right to run over mlnor1t1es because
a corollary of this thing is that the mInorlt1es must pe
respected.
But, here, Mr.. President, I submit we have a differ
ence Of opinion. One set of legal experts claiming one way.
Another set of legal experts claiming another way. Among
men, and among societies of men, there will always arise
differences because no man bears within him the makeup
Of a felloW-man Everyone Of US, is IN some way unique.

bers of this il~lustrious body disagree with the President,
and with the other members, that that make the majority

Mr.. President, / cannot see how this controversy can
just resolve by everybody taking the attitude that the
other guy is wrong and trying to do some thing to take
away the opposing partys side.
And, Mr.. President, J would like, at this time, in order
to resolve the controversy, and not continue it in this vein
forever and ever until Christmas, to offer an amendment
in Section l of Bill 425 which is now under consideration.
In order to resolve the problem that is plaguing US,
and making US tussle with our consciences land feeling
that each person on the opposing side is out to do evil to
the one opposing party, and to all the People of the Virgin
islands, l would offer an amendment that We strike, on
the 9Th line of Section l, in Bill 4255 all of the words fol
lowing the word inclusive" Strike out the words-"and
attached hereto and made a part OF this Act"
That is from the word Inclusive; take out the com
ma and strike land attached hereto and made a part of
this Act" Leave the second comma" and let it continue
that way. That is my motion, Mr.. President.
The motion is that Section l be amended by striking
the words "and attached hereto and made a part of this
Act and having the section continue to read with the
words mentioned omitted.
MR.. OTTLEY: | am unready, Mr.. President.
MR.. DE LUGO: / second that, Mr.. President.

seconded that the words and attached hereto and made
a part of this Act be striker from Section | of Bill 425.

bill, with that amendment, would we. still be enacting the
Virgin Islands Code?

page proofs numbered from A 0001 to A 2481, inclusive,
is hereby enacted into law, subject to the remaining pro-
visions Of this Act, and, except as otherwise provided in
this Act, shall take effect as provided in such Code To me,
it will still have reference specifically to the Code.

H PRESIDENT: You are unready then?
MR.. HODGE: Yes.
Eli PRESIDENT: All right. Go right ahead.
Mr.. HODGE: Mr.. Chairman, as you know the Exc
cutiVe Interpretation OF one Of the very important changes
in the Revised Organic Act regarding executive appoint
ments to policyforming boards and commissions without
legislative approval has differed specifically with funda-
mental principles and policies.
Mr.. Chairman, Senator MerWin can take as much
time as he needs because I am going to speak for a little
while.
ask for the indulgence of the members Of the Legis-
lature on this very vital and important issue becauseI
believe that in our desire. and in some Of our zeal, and our
wish to do the best we can for the people Of the Virgin
Islands oftentimes we may be mistaken in certain of our
actions. We may act hastily upon legislation in our de-
sire for cooperation with the Executive Branch of Govern
ment, and because Of that we may do more harm than
good to our people,
Mr.. Chairman, the chief issue at stake is whether
the Congress of the United States denied the Legislature,
as the Department of the Interior and the Administration
are trying to assume, the function of confirmation Of ap-
pointments to policy-forming Boards and Commissions.
The Legislature, over the past years, has felt land would
say rightly so that it has the right to confirm all appoint
ments made. to polcy-forming boards and commissions.

ticed in the nearby Territory of Puerto Rico; practiced in
each and every State of the Union by State Legislatures.
