HR 4 Ex authorizing the Joint Session of the Senate and House was read by the Clerk of the House. Honorable Lester G. Maddox, the Lieutenant Governor, presented His Excel lency, the Governor, to the General Assembly. His Excellency, the Governor, addressed the General Assembly as follows: I welcome you back to the State Capitol, and recall very clearly my last speech to you here. I said that the 1971 Legislature was the best in the history of our State, and I believe that the people of Georgia have agreed. My remarks today will be brief and confined primarily to the im mediate business of this Special Session. What you have to consider is important. We are not here at the beck and call of the federal govern ment, but as representatives of a sovereign state come to deal with the affairs of our own people. This time of the year was chosen because it was the date preferred by most members of the Legislature to reapportion the districts of Georgia as a result of the 1970 census. Several of you expressed the thought that we should just ignore reapportionment, and maybe the problem would go away. I can understand this feeling, having been through this ordeal in the Senate. This idea may look even more attrac tive to all of us by this time next week. Much has been said and written about whose legislative friends a particular plan will "take care of." I can assure you that I have no political axe to grind, no particular plan to propose, no legislators to reward nor punish. Your job and my job is not to take care of each other but to care for the people who elected us. My only interest is to insure that any plan which you and I approve does just that. Before leaving this matter of reapportionment, it should be made clear that this can become a three-way street. The primary responsibility is yours and mine, but if we fail--in this session and in the regular January session--then our State will be reapportioned by the courts. None of us want to see this happen. In my mind there is only one out come more undesirable and that is the drawing of districts contrary to the best interests of the people of Georgia. Also included in the call for this session is the regulation of signs and billboards along Georgia highways. 18 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, Three times already our people's voices have been heard clearly on this issue, either directly or within these legislative halls. In 1964 an outdoor advertising control bill passed the House by a vote of 114-70, and the Senate by 30-9. I was there, and supported the bill. This law was later declared unconstitutional by the courts, and in 1966 a constitutional amendment was ratified overwhelmingly by the Georgia people following votes of 144-24 and 44-1 in these two legislative bodies. This action of Georgia people gave the legislature the right and duty to zone private property along our highways just as has been done for decades in our cities. A 1967 act then passed the Senate by a vote of 29-3 and the House by 114-1. There is now nationwide legislation concerning billboard controls, and federal highway funds will be allocated in full only to states which meet minimum control standards. Along with four other states, Georgia has been notified that unless our law is amended, we stand to lose ten percent of our federal funds each year, beginning with a prospective loss of about $11 million this November. The Highway Department and the Attorney General's office have prepared an acceptable bill which will permit controlled outdoor advertis ing, give Georgians uncluttered and beautiful highways, and avoid heavy losses of our own gasoline tax funds. This bill has adequate enforcement provisions. As a final comment on this I would like to mention one other very important point. Just compensation is provided for newly prohibited billboards which have been erected in compliance with the existing State law. This is good legislation, and I hope you will give it your support. Two additional matters before you concern routine amendments to the Georgia Election Code and ratification of a Constitutional Amend ment to give all American 18-year-olds the right to vote. As you know, this amendment has already been quickly ratified by a sufficient number of states. But I believe it is only proper that we in Georgia should express our support at this earliest opportunity for a long-overdue nationwide right which we granted to our young people here in Georgia more than a quarter of a century ago. Finally, included in this session will be the passage of local legisla tion which, if postponed until January, might create harm or disadvant age to the people of the community involved. In concluding my remarks, I would like to report briefly to you on developments in three very important areas. The Reorganization Study, as directed by you, is now reaching its final stages. When the plan is adopted, our projected annual savings of $50 million will be realized. Even more importantly, I can promise that I will present to you, the State's administrative officers, and the FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1971 19 Georgia taxpayers a blueprint for the most efficient, economical and responsive state government in the nation. Our new Zero-Base Budgeting process has already proven its worth. As you know, cuts in this year's budget totaling $57 million are neces sary, primarily due to extremely low growth in personal income during calendar year 1970. I am happy to report to you that these reductions are being made selectively and with minimum reduction in services to the Georgia people by use of the Zero-Base Budgeting techniques. Under this fully implemented program, department heads are given additional responsibility and authority and you and I for the first time ever will be able to see each agency justify the need for every dollar in a budget request. I personally think that day in Georgia has been long overdue. The more economical and responsive state government being brought about by reorganization and the more efficient allocation of funds through Zero-Base Budgeting are important. But they merely give us an effective tool. This year for the first time in any state in the nation, the people have been given an opportunity to say what sort of state they wish to live in and how their government should be used. Under the Goals for Georgia Program, 61 regional conferences have been held, attended by you and more than 7,000 other Georgians. Better than 5,000 workbooks have been completed and are presently being analyzed to deter mine the attitudes and ideas of the average Georgian. In addition, many have written or called to insure that their voices were heard. One quarter of a million people watched eight ETV broadcasts on which legislators, department heads and other knowledgeable Georgians answered questions from hundreds of citizens on such topics as education, transportation, health, economic development, welfare and natural resources. In October, eight statewide conferences, open to the public, will be held to discuss each of the eight functional areas of government and right now a citizen attitude survey scientifically designed to reach all types of Georgians is being conducted. The results of all this effort will be combined and made available to you, to me and to the Georgia people--an analysis describing realistic Goals for Georgia and long-range plans for the future, not written by the Governor, the Legislature, or some small group of theorists, but by the people. This is an exciting year in Georgia, and our people deeply appreciate your wisdom, courage and vision. I look forward to working closely with you during these next few days, and to a reaffirmation of my belief that this is the greatest Legislature ever assembled in our beloved State. Senator Holley of the 22nd moved that the Joint Session be now dissolved, and the motion prevailed. The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved. Pursuant to a previous provision, the Senate stood adjourned until tomorrow morning. 20 JOURNAL OP THE SENATE, Senate Chamber, Atlanta, Georgia Saturday, September 25, 1971 The Senate met pursuant to adjournment at 8:00 o'clock A.

The following communication from His Excellency, Governor Jimmy Carter, was read by the Secretary: Office of the Governor Atlanta 30334 10:00 a. m. 9/28/71 Notice to the Georgia Senate: The House has passed a reapportionment plan with less than 2% population variance, with smaller districts than the Senate's. I recognize the difficulties of reapportioning a body, but believe that the Senate can devise a plan which will satisfy the Georgia people and the courts. All political factors should be fair and the population of districts should be as nearly equal as possible, certainly never exceeding 2% and with any variance justifiable. . , In order to insure that the Legislature retains this responsibility, I must insist that the plans proposed have every possibility of withstanding court tests. I intend to veto any proposal which does not meet the standards described above. None of the plans I have seen meets these standards for Senate reapportion ment. I have no personal preference, and I know that the Lieutenant Governor has also avoided any direct involvement in details of reapportionment. My urgent request to the Senate is that an acceptable plan be passed so that I can sign it into law. Respectfully, /s/ Jimmy CartelGovernor TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1971 27 The following general bill of the Senate, favorably reported by the committee, was read the third time, and put upon its passage: SB 1 EX.

The statement was as follows: Mr. President: To explain my vote on this Resolution, allow me to state with all due respect to my colleagues in the Senate who vote otherwise, parti cularly to the remarks by the distinguished Senator from the 39th, I disagree that the busing of school children is an artificial problem. On the contrary, it is very real and with us. My record on the subject of fairness to races is well known to the distinguished members of this body with regards to the black race, dating back to pre-political days. On the subject of busing of school children, I submit to this body that it is the children who are the victims and that education is not im proved thereby for any of them regardless of their race. I recognize that the courts have ruled that busing is the law of the land; but I have never hesitated to question any court's judgment when I considered it to be improper or ill-conceived, as I do such judgment sustaining the busing of school children in order to achieve racial equality. Mr. President, I, therefore, cast my vote for the Resolution and vote Aye. Julian Webb Senator, llth District Senator Lester of the 23rd asked unanimous consent that a statement ex plaining his vote on SR 7 EX be recorded in the Journal, and the consent was granted. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1871 89 The statement was as follows: This resolution was introduced because of recurring school develop ments in Richmond and Chatham County. The busing of school children to achieve racial balance is a violation of the rights of all children both white and black. Its ultimate result will be the downgrading of our public school system. We cannot afford to stand by and see this happen. An amendment to the U. S. Constitution protecting the rights of all children to go to the public school in their neighborhood is the best solution to the problem which now will confront all areas of Georgia. I, Therefore, Vote Aye! Senator Johnson of the 38th asked unanimous consent that a statement explaining his vote on SR 7 EX be recorded in the Journal, and the consent was granted. The statement was as follows: Mr. President: I arise to explain my vote on Senate Resolution 7, the Anti-Busing Resolution. First, I remind the President of my previous motion to the effect that this body is without authority to accept this Resolution. I contend, Mr. President, that this resolution is out-of-order and thus this body lacks jurisdiction and cannot consider this resolution at this Special Session of the General Assembly. I base my reasoning on the fact that this is a special session of the General Assembly and that the only mat ters that can be voted on in this session are matters pertaining to or included in those matters that were included in the call of this special session. Mr. President, the law is very clear on this point. The Governor of Georgia included in the call of this session the fol lowing subject matters, only: 1. Congressional Reapportionment. 2. Legislative Reapportionment. 3. Amendment to the Election Law Code. 4. Billboard legislation. 5. Local legislation of an emergency nature. Senate Resolution 7 does not fall into any of the above mentioned categories nor is it related in any way to the subject matters outlined above in the call for this special session. Therefore, Mr. President, I 90 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, submit to you that this Senate is without authority to entertain this resolution and I ask the President to so rule. Mr. President, having ruled against my motion, I oppose this resolution on still another ground. Mr. President, anti-busing resolutions and statements have special meanings to Black people. Anti-busing statements are code words sug gesting the continuation of segregation without mentioning the word segregation. I find it difficult to become emotionally disturbed because of the use of busing to achieve desegregation in education. Perhaps, it is be cause of the fact that the people whom I represent were bused past white high schools forty years ago and nobody ever said a mumbling word. None of the white voices which we hear today speaking so force fully against busing ever raised their voices when Negro children were bused past white schools to maintain segregation in education. The Courts have ruled that busing is a legitimate vehicle to obtain desegregation. Mr. President, if busing students is inconvenient to parents and some students this may be regrettable, but it is a necessary inconven ience to achieve Equality of Education for all American children. Mr. President, "There is a dream in this land with its back against the wall, if the dream is to be true for one, it must be true for all". Mr. President, the Senator from the Thirty-Eighth District votes "No" on Senate Resolution 7. Senator Smith of the 18th moved that the following resolution of the Senate be immediately transmitted to the House: SR 4 EX. By Senators Holloway of the 12th, Carter of the 14th, Coggin of the 35th and others: A resolution ratifying the amendment to the United States Constitu tion relative to 18 year old voting; and for other purposes.

HR 6 EX authorizing the Joint Session of the Senate and House was read by the Clerk of the House. Honorable Lester G. Maddox, the Lieutenant Governor, presented His Ex cellency, Governor Jimmy Carter, to the General Assembly. His Excellency, the Governor, presented Congressman Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas to the General Assembly. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1971 99 The Honorable Wilbur D. Mills addressed the General Assembly as follows: It is a singular honor to be invited to this joint session of the General Assembly of one of the truly great states of the Union. The description of Georgia as the Empire State of the South is a fitting one--not simply because you are the largest state east of the Mississippi River, and not only because you are the pace setter and leader for a vast area of our country, but mainly because Georgia is where it is happening today. In this state, perhaps more so than any other, it is very easy to observe and witness the marked changes that are occurring in America's way of life: the revolution in agriculture with emphases on diversifica tion, fertilization, hybridization and mechanization; the exodus from the land and urbanization of our people; the industrialization of the economy and the rising standard of living of all of our citizens. These changes--evident throughout the nation--are the order of the day in Georgia. But your state has never been reticent or retiring when it comes to innovation and imaginative leadership. We from other states remember that Georgia was among the first of the original thirteen to ratify the United States Constitution, and you were the very first state to have a woman represent you in the U. S. Senate and the first state to permit 18 year olds to vote. These and other farsighted actions on the part of the predecessors of this great General Assembly, together with the atmosphere of encouragement to commerce and industry you have successfully established in this state and your strategic geographic location, have made Georgia one of the great centers of business, trans portation, communication, finance and management of this country and, indeed, of the world. Practically every major national corporation today either has of fices or some vital connection with Atlanta or one of the other of your fine cities. It is progress, therefore, which we have heard marching through and in Georgia in recent years, and we are hearing it loud and clear today. All of your sister states--not just those of us in the South, but indeed, the whole nation--are becoming attuned to the quickened cadence this state is calling. Your recognized position of leadership could not have been achieved without good government and good laws at the state level, nor could it have been done without the remarkable representation this state has enjoyed in the Congress. When I look back over the three decades I have been very closely associated with fiscal legislation in the House, I cannot help but recall the salutary effect Georgians have had on such legislation. Your late Senator Walter F. George served the Senate Committee on Finance for over 30 years, about half of that time as its chairman. Senator Richard B. Russell, who passed away earlier this year, was President Pro Tempore of the Senate and chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations for so many years of his long and. distinguished career of public service. Today Herman Talmadge is one of the Senate Finance Committee's acknowledged leaders, and on the House Committee on Ways and Means' membership we have one of the 100 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, finest Georgians ever to serve in the Congress in Phil Landrum. He is one of our most erudite, respected and highly esteemed Members, His mature wisdom, sound judgment and just plain good common sense are essential to the Committee's operation. The Committee truly could not do without Phil Landrum. And the other members of your current Georgia delegation in the House and Senate, in the tradition of this State, are among the most able, articulate and effective legislators there. I have had the opportunity over the past few months of visiting a number of joint sessions of State legislatures. Incidentally, while in Providence I learned that the Capitol building there is constructed of Georgia marble, like so many enduringiy beautiful public buildings across the country. I also understand that the New York Stock Exchange is made of Georgia marble, so we can perhaps take some comfort in the contradictory realization that it will always stand, no matter how far it falls. I have found these meetings with State legislatures of very con siderable benefit in fostering and enhancing mutual understanding of pressing problems we in the Federal Government and you in the State governments currently face in financing our joint and several activities. This First Session of the 92nd Congress has been especially produc tive of matters of Federal-State concern and interest. In this Session there have been a number of major subjects considered by the Committee on Ways and Means with profound implications for Federal finances and for State and local government budgets, as well, both in the short run and over the long range. The most ballyhooed and highly advertised program that has been under consideration by the Committee on Ways and Means, not only just in this Session but in my memory, is the so-called no-strings-attached general revenue sharing proposal of the Administration. The Committee in good faith has devoted a considerable amount of time in this Session to this subject--a full month of public hearings and another month of executive sessions. It was to have been the continuing subject for the Committee's consideration until last month when it was displaced by the President's legislative recommendations under his New Economic Policy message. The Committee's examination of general revenue sharing in public hearings and in its subsequent executive sessions, revealed and confirmed a number of glaring inequities, inadequacies and fallacies in the Presi dent's proposal. In the public hearings the proposal enjoyed the dubious distinction of being opposed, at the same time, by the NAM, the AFLCIO, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the American Farm Bureau Federation. Patently bag legislative proposals like politics often make strange bedfellows. Despite all the misleading advertising about the no-strings-attached feature of the President's program I do not think anyone was misled by that kind of advertising in the first place. Lt. Governor Lester Maddox, in his testimony before the Committee earlier this year and in his typically soft and subtle approach--and I quote--called it "poppycock" and FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1971 101 "phooey". We appreciated Governor Maddox's forthright testimony be cause everyone knows that there never has been nor will there ever be a Federal dollar with absolutely no string attached to it. To the contrary, evidence before the Committee indicates that the program, as proposed by the President, even before enactment, is already subject to increasing pressures from executive agencies and commissions in Washington. You can be sure that they will be hotly competing with one another to attach their respective tentacles to the dollars that would go to the State and local governments. These pressures would undoubted ly multiply in intensity directly with the age and scope of the program. It was also very early shown in the Committee's hearings that the Administration's proposal would operate unfairly and wastefully, as far as distribution is concerned. It would not offer an appropriate measure of assistance to some units of government where the need is most acute but would give inordinate amounts to others, which were shown to need little, if any, help. Many of those addressing the Committee in the general revenue sharing hearings expressed deep concern over the present state of the Federal budget, which suffered in the last fiscal year and is facing in the current one Federal funds deficits aggregating some $66 billion. This is a record breaker--the largest two year back-to-back deficit since World War II. These spokesmen challenge the wisdom of having the Federal Government undertaking and embarking on a permanent pro gram of revenue sharing in the face of Federal budget deficits of that magnitude and indications that the deficits could go even deeper. We would not be sharing Federal revenues, but simply additional borrowed funds. Approving a permanent program of general Federal revenue sharing at this time would have all the efficacy of a legacy in a pauper's will. I, therefore, find myself among those who contend that a more feasible program under present circumstances would be a temporary one custom tailored to aid those levels of government where the need is most acute and in specific fields of highest priority. I, of course, recognize, as does your distinguished Governor Carter, the serious fiscal problems some States face. However, with the limited resources available to the Federal Government, prudence dictates that we be quite selective in whatever aid is provided and not just pass it out broadside as the Administration desires. We must all remember the pertinent and significant fact that the Federal Government is already giving substantial aid to State and local governments. Between fiscal 1959 and fiscal 1971, Federal grants-in-aid to State and local governments rose from $6.7 billion to an estimated $30.3 billion. Another form of assistance is the exemption of interest on State and local bonds, which alone cost the Federal Government about $2 billion in 1969. The fact that State and local taxes may be deducted for Federal income tax purposes, in practice, also represents another form of fi nancial assistance to the States and localities. It means, in effect, that the Federal Government is absorbing part of the burden of the State and local taxes. 102 JOURNAL OP THE SENATE, In addition, although the Administration has now recommended deferral of the effective date of H. R. 1, the "Social Security Amend ments of 1971", we should not forget that this legislation, which has already passed the House, would relieve State and local governments of annual public welfare costs through the Federal assumption of the basic provisions for needy families with children and for aged, blind and disabled persons. The beneficial financial results to the states of federalization of public welfare are quite substantial, aggregating some $1.6 billion of state savings in the first year of operation. Georgia, for example, under the bill as passed by the House, could expect to save some $51.8 million in fiscal year 1973 over what it would be spending under present law. The President, however, has recenty asked that the effective date of this measure be deferred one year, and I hope inaction in the Senate on it will not further delay the enactment and implementa tion of this much needed program. Instead of the widely varying existing programs in effect in the fifty states, we want to create a system of welfare that will be con sistently fair both to the taxpaying public which supports it and to its beneficiaries. We want a system of welfare which places primary emphasis on ultimate severance of a family from the program and re entry into the working world. We want a program that restores people to employment, self-reliance and self-respect. We want a program that will stem the alarming tide of spiraling costs and chronic instances of family dependence on welfare generation after generation. H. R. 1, therefore, by means of both work incentives and just penalties for those able-bodied and eligible persons who shirk required work or training under the program, places the spotlight of attention on the terminal end of welfare while simultaneously tightening the prerequisites for initial entry on the rolls. The only feasible means of accomplishing these objectives is through federalizing the program. Another subject on the Committee's agenda in which the States have a very considerable financial interest is the matter of national health insurance on which the Committee will commence public hearings on October 18. In our consideration of this subject we shall be searching for means to provide significant savings to the States through a revision of the Medicaid program. For example, under the Administration's proposal, which is only one among the many that have been introduced, the savings to the States are estimated at $1.8 billion. At this stage, it is impossible to predict the final form of the bill or the provisions it will contain, but certainly one of the Committee's prime considerations will be the opportunity this proposed legislation affords for very considerable cost savings to the States. There are other possible means of assistance to the States under study by the Committee staff including the so-called "piggy-back" arrangement. This would make available to the States the Federal Government's relatively efficient income tax collection machinery, save them administrative costs, encourage more reliance on the state income tax and simplify filing requirements for taxpayers. But the single most productive and helpful act the Federal Govern- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1971 103 ment could do for the States at this juncture is to get this country back on the path of stable economic growth. The current economic situation, in which the Nation suffers simultaneously from inadequate productivity and high unemployment on the one hand and inflation on the other, has been very costly to States and localities. For example, State and local governments could have collected about $3.5 billion more in ad ditional revenues in calendar year 1970 had the economy been at the full employment level. And in recent years, price rises due to inflation have been the single most important factor responsible for the almost crushing cost increases of State and local governments. The budgets of Georgia and the other States with income taxes have a direct interest, therefore, in a healthy, growing national economy with relatively stable price levels. You have a right to expect national economic policies that will allow your state income tax system to realize its full potential and operate at optimum effectiveness. That is one of the reasons why since earlier this year I have been addressing myself to actions needed to get our economy off dead center. The Administration's original game plan was devoted to inaction, that is, largely just waiting with the hope that we could abate inflation without recession. The sad fact is that we developed a pretty good case of both. You know the symptoms and manifestations: unemployment levels persistently around the 6 percent mark, plant and equipment spending actually declining, anemic increases in gross national product with over half the growth in the first six months of this year due to price increases, and a disturbing new, ominous and foreboding phenom enon in the form of a deficit in our international balance of trade. I, therefore, was one of those who genuinely welcomed the Presi dent's new economic measures of August 15, which thankfully transform inaction into action. On the day following his message, I announced public hearings in the Committee on Ways and Means on the legislative elements of the President's message relating to taxes. We concluded those public hearings in the span of just one week, a record period of time for a program of such magnitude and dimensions. Last Wednesday the Committee filed its report on the bill, H. R. 10947. I shall briefly refer to those decisions. With respect to the President's recommendation for a restoration of a job development investment tax credit for purchases of machinery and equipment in order to increase jobs, productivity, and our competitiveness with foreign producers, the Committee very considerably improved the President's program. Instead of a two-tiered credit, that is, 10 percent for the first year and 5 percent thereafter, the Committee has decided on a flat 7 percent rate effective with respect to orders placed back to April 1, 1971. The flat rate avoids the feast followed by famine danger in herent in a two-tiered system. The earlier effective date is appropriate to validate reliance business had placed on governmental exhortation to make new investment earlier this year. The tax credit will also be made available on a limited basis for used personal property, primarily as an aid to smaller businesses. The bill will generally deny the credit to foreign-produced goods for as long 104 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, as the 10 percent import surcharge is in effect. It will also provide the President much needed authority, however, to let the credit apply to specific foreign-produced goods when he determines it in the public interest to do so. The Committee is firmly convinced that these and the other changes it has made will make the credit more efficient and ef fective in achieving its objectives. The Committee approved the President's recommendations for repeal of the automobile excise tax, retroactively to August IB, 1971, but also extended the repeal to light trucks, principally pickup trucks, effective September 23. We again, as we did last year, acted favorably on his proposal to encourage exports through the DISC program, but we have added pro visions to assure that its benefits will be geared to increments in export volume, which is the essential purpose of the program. Finally, last but certainly not least, we were able to improve very considerably and provide a much better balance in the program as between investment and consumption by eliminating the so-called first year convention in the new Asset Depreciation Range program, which the Administration had initiated at the first of this year. The Committee took the savings from this action and channeled it into additional tax benefits, over and above the President's recommendations, for individual taxpayers by further accelerating the increase in the personal exemption from $650 to $700 effective July 1, 1971. It will then go to $750 on Jan uary 1 of next year. We have also provided additional significant tax savings to low income citizens by repealing the phaseout in the low income allowance (or minimum standard deduction) for the current year, and effective January 1, 1972, the bill will raise the low income allow ance from $1,000 to $1,300. These low income provisions will provide relief where the need is most acute and where dividends to the economy in terms of increased spending is assured. Practically every dollar of the additional tax relief in this area will be immediately spent with attendant beneficial effect on the economy. In my judgment, the Committee's bill will strike an effective and equitable balance in tax reduction as between individual taxpayers, on the one hand, and business, on the other. The estimates are that in dividuals in a nonbusiness capacity will pay $4.3 billion less in fiscal year 1972. Corporate and unincorporated business combined will pay $650 million less in fiscal year 1972. $2.7 billion less in fiscal year 1973, and $3.4 billion less in fiscal year 1974. I am confident H. R. 10947 will pass the House overwhelmingly on next Tuesday. I hope the Senate, following the House's example, will expeditiously approve it and that the bill will be on the President's desk at an early date, I am convinced it is a necessary step in putting our lagging economy back on the path to adequate and stable growth. Again let me express my deep appreciation for your kind invitation and the high privilege of addressing this General Assembly. May your acts continue to reflect, as they have in the past, the motto of this great State--"Wisdom, Justice and Moderation".

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1971 115 The remarks were as follows: Mr. President: My colleagues of the Senate: My "scattering remarks" will be brief concerning the House Redistricting Bill (H.B 1 Ex) now before us for consideration. Even though I am fully aware that the Senators from the 5th, 6th, and 8th, each an able speaker, have not been too successful in persuading you during the past few days on other legislative matters, I nevertheless must make known my position on this house redistricting measure. Perhaps, I am peculiarly qualified to speak, having been delivered by you a new Eleventh Senatorial District of longitudinal dimensions extending from the Florida line along the Chattahoochee River to the city limits of Columbus, a Senatorial District of shaft-like shape, protruding in a perpendicular direction! Too, this body has just approved a Congressional redistricting plan, which as I again look at the map of Georgia seems to do violence to that which may be reasonable insofar as the Eighth Congressional District is concerned. That particular district appears to have been patterned according to Sherman's March through Georgia more than a century ago. With some chagrin, I voted for that plan, and I hope some how it will be made more equitable before it becomes law. But, let me address myself to this House of Representatives district ing plan. Years ago in high school the most difficult assignment I had as the new school year began was the translation of the opening lines of Caesar's commentaries, "Gallia omnis in partes tres divisa est. . . , " that is "All Gaul is divided into three parts, the first of which is called the Aquitanii, the second the Helvetii, and the third which in their language is called the Franks, in ours the Gauls." Now, my friends, apparently the House Reapportionment Committee changed this to read, "All Calhoun County is divided into three parts," for this Bill does just that. Some of the finest people on earth reside in Calhoun County, but this monstrous Bill divides them in three parts! They have been vivisected, and as a result will be desiccated. I ask you, as practical gentlemen familiar with political probabili ties, what chance will any part of Calhoun County ever have to elect one of its own citizens to serve in the House of Representatives, with 116 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, one part of the County tacked onto Randolph, Terrell and Clay Counties, another part tacked onto Early, Miller and a part of Seminole Counties, and the east part of the county tied onto Lee, Baker and Dougherty Counties, including Albany? If there is any consolation and comfort to one who suffers by having another in like circumstance, then look to Gilmer County in north Georgia, also divided into three parts. The House Committee has for its Chairman and Vice Chairman honorable gentlemen, but need I tell you that the home counties of these men most certainly are not divided! Actually, insofar as I can tell, no member of that committee, with possibly one exception, had his home county split and tacked onto another county! Now what about my home county of Seminole? It is the only small county in southwest Georgia to show a gain in population, and shares with Dougherty and Thomas counties the distinction of being one of the three in southwest Georgia to gain. Yet, as the veil in the Temple was rent in twain two thousand years ago, Seminole County was split asunder by this plan. One was an act of God, the other an act of man. The east half of Seminole is tacked onto Decatur, Grady and Thomas counties for three representatives. I see you smile as you recognize the absurdity of this design. The west half is tied onto Early and Miller Counties, and a part of Calhoun. I am aware that this entire plan is computerized mathematically correct, with very close tolerance. Gentlemen, for statistics and mathe matics, computers may be all right, but no computer can deal fairly and properly with the human and political rights of citizens. I submit that a citizen of Georgia, a citizen of Calhoun County or of Seminole County, is more than a statistic! These computerized districts deny these people the right to which they are entitled, that is, an equal opportunity and equal representation in our State government. Mr. President, I think I need not give further explanation as to how I shall vote on this nefarious and unfair Bill! ! ! ! ! ! Senator Ballard of the 45th gave notice that at the proper time he would move that the Senate reconsider its action on HB 1 EX.

Senators Kidd of the 25th and Zipperer of the 3rd, members of the Fourth Conference Committee, offered the following minority report: Senators Zipperer and Kidd voted against the proposal of the Con- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1971 195 ference Committee to accept the plan known as the Williams, Busbee, Larsen Plan which the Senate defeated Wednesday morning. It was the feeling of these Senators that this plan did not offer or clear up any of the many suggestions that had been made to the Con ference Committee by members of the Senate. Two new plans were worked up by these Senators and presented to the Conference Commit tee, but both plans were very hurriedly voted down by a block coalition of the three members of the House. Copies of these plans are on your desk. We hope that you will look at them so that you will know that we proposed a plan which will take care of your particular problem and those of the State of Georgia better than the one that you will be voting upon. If this be true, you will have the opportunity of voting down the present plan, and we can instruct the members of the next Conference Committee to vote for either one of the other two plans. Your two Senators again apologize for not doing a better job with the many requests that were made to them by you to try to clear up the problems in your particular area.

Senator Ward of the 39th asked unanimous consent that the following re marks be entered into the Journal, and the consent was granted. The remarks were as follows: MR. PRESIDENT: I would like the privilege of explaining my vote on the Seventh Conference Committee report. This Conference Committee report, as it relates to the 5th Con gressional District, is very similar to previous conference committee reports. That is, many changes have been made in other districts throughout the state, but as to make-up and character, the new 5th District has remained substantially as originally reported out of the Senate Rules Committee, in spite of the many alternative proposals presented. The Congressional District Plan now before the Senate is unfair, not only as it relates to the Atlanta Metropolitan Area, but for the whole state. Although this plan is being adopted for a ten year period, it shows a general disregard for the population growth areas in this state. Also the plan is especially unfair for the black people of the State of Georgia who constitute over one million people. The plan before us has a racially discriminatory effect, in that the black population in Atlanta has been spilt between three Districts, the 4th, the 5th and 6th Districts. The 5th District is particularly arbitrary and discriminatory as it relates to black people in Atlanta and Fulton County: (a) The new plan is a deliberate scheme to dilute the black vote in the 5th District. (b) The black vote has been reduced to a lower percentage in the new 5th District than in the existing 5th District. (c) A considerable portion of black leadership has been eliminated from the 5th District. (d) Major black population growth areas have been excluded from the 5th District. Further, the new congressional plan shows a total disregard for FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1971 221 the City of Atlanta and its residents, by joining parts of the City with major suburban and rural areas. The Senator of the 39th District votes "No." On the motion, Senator Holley of the 22nd called for the ayes and nays, and the call was sustained. A roll call was ordered, and the vote was as follows: Those voting in the affirmative were Senators: Ballard Broun of 46th Carter Chapman Coggin Coverdell Cox Fincher of 51st Garrard Henderson Higginbotham Holley Holloway Hudgins Jackson Lester McDuffie McGill Overby Patton Those voting in the negative were Senators: Adams Bateman Brown of 47th Cleland Dean Doss Eldridge Fincher of 54th Gillis Hamilton Herndon Hill Johnson Kennedy Kidd Parker Reynolds Scott Smith of 18th Smith of 34th Starr Stephens Sutton Tysinger Young Riley Rowan Searcey Smalley Summers Walling Ward Zipperer The roll call was verified. On the motion, the ayes were 29, nays 24; the motion prevailed, and the Seventh Conference Committee report on SB 2 EX was adopted. Senator Ward of the 39th asked unanimous consent that the following re marks be entered into the Journal, and the consent was granted. The remarks were as follows: During the last few days, while we debated the problems of Reapportionment, a great American passed on to his final reward. JOURNAL OF THE SENATE, As a lawyer and a defender of the Constitution, I deem it my solemn duty to say a few words in tribute to this giant among men. I make humble reference to the late Justice Hugo L. Black, who died on Sep tember 25, 1971, at the age of 85 years. Justice Black was one of the truly authentic legal scholars of our day. A man's greatness in history is not determined by whether his actions and deeds are liked or disliked, but more by their impact upon our total society. Born in a frontier farmhouse on February 27, 1886, Justice Black traveled a long road, with some detours, to the highest Court of the land. In his own words he explained his opportunity this way: "This Nation, created by our Constitution, offers countless ex amples just like mine." Mr. Justice Black served his State and Nation in many capacities, notably as a United States Senator from Alabama and as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He had also been a lawyer in Alabama, a County Prosecutor, City Judge and a Captain in the United States Army. President Nixon eulogized Mr. Justice Black as follows: "Justice Black believed that the primary responsibility of the judiciary was that of giving force and effect to Constitutional lib erties. In his judicial life, he did exactly that--with such inde pendence, tenacity, and total integrity of mind that his imprint on the court and on our Nation will be indelible. His faith in the United States Constitution was absolute and so his convictions were rooted absolutely." Mr. Justice Black served on the Supreme Court for a period of 34 years, the third longest tenure of any Judge on that Court in the history of the Nation. He was an illustrious son of Alabama, a distinguished southerner, and a great American. This is my tribute to Mr. Justice Black. I si Horace T. Ward Senator, 39th District The President introduced His Excellency, Governor Jimmy Carter, who ad dressed the Senate briefly.
