THE PRESIDENT: Senator Millin.
MRS. MILLIN: Mr.. Chairman, / feel firmly, that
if the Governor makes a promise to a person and the
Legislature does not go along and support the Governor
on that promise, then what sharpening? Il you go along
With him and support him, then you're taking him of
the limb, because he has made the promise,
MR. OTTLEY: Mr.. Chairman.
H PRESIDENT Senator Ottley.
Mr.. OTTLEY: Mr.. Chairman, the Governor made
an appointment here of a man to be an Assistant Com
missioner. He made the appointment, and 1t was an
nounced in the newspapers. And the Legislature not
only changed The title but changed the salary also. And
i think that is the p~erogatiye OF the Legislature 1t isn't
because we have supported the Administration on GER
tain policies, that we have to support everything the
Administrator sends down here. And the tact OF the
matter is that there have been several pieces of ligs-
Iaaon and policies that the Administration has enuncla-
ted and recommended that the Legislature has rejected.
1t seems to me that we should maintain that %independ-
ence.
MR.. LAWAETZ: Mr.. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Lawaetz:
~ Mr.. LAWAETZ: Mr.. Chairman, / would say that
the Administration took considerable time in i~nveStigat-
4ng with the Department of Interior whether MI. De
Lugo could get this post or not. My conscience is COM
pletely clear that if he got the okay from Interior that
-4e can give this appointment to a former Senator, they
must have listened to it, and / don't see why | should
wonder whether it is right or wrong, because I'm sure
nat the Governor checked it with Interior and they
: him the okay.
THE PRESIDENT: Of course, Senator, / would
Just like to make this observation. 1t is a members pri-
vilege, if in his opinion an appointment is legal or il
sal, to express it into the record of the Legislature.
/ do not doubt that the Governor has had the proper
type of advice on this question. But | do believe that
If the members Of the Legislature are now being asked
to pass upon this they have the right to express their
opinions. AS have stated before, I have. no objection
to Senator De Lugo getting this appointment have
no objection to hin getting the 1000. But / think Se-
nator De Lugo's $4,000 sets a precedent. The next thing
you know, the ten Commissioners are going to be here
asking for the same $12, O00. I am in favor of giving the
Senator the same salary as the Commissioners now re-
ceive. However, | am going to vote for the legislation,
and have every reason to believe that we will pass the
legislation.
Another question that I have asked is whether UNI
der the OfsanicAc the Senator can hold such a position.

position and salary are not before the Legislature. Il
the Legislature turns down this legislation, nothing hap
mems to the Notwithstanding happens to Mr.. De
Lugo. think he is the guy on.the limb, and we can pre-
vent it from being sawed off by passing this legislation.
