Weekly Report
From The
General Assembly
Week-ending February 10, '61
The 1961-63 North Caro
lina General Assembly con
vened at noon on Wednes
day, February 8th, 1961, with
a short but impressive cere
mony as members of the Gen
eral Assembly took - the oath
of office upon individual Bibles
presented by the State of N.
C. for the occasion. Secretary
of State Thad Eure presided
and Supreme Court Justice
Hunt Parker administered the
oath to the 120 members of
the House of Representatives.
The oath-taking ceremony call
ed to our attention that, al
though we are each elected
to represent our respective
counties, our obligation also
extends to the State of North
Carolina.
Immediately after the "swearing-in"
Mr. Joe Hunt of Guil
ford was named speaker and
the House got down to busi
ness. The first bill, a resolu
tion calling for immediate
consideration of the problem
of re-dividing the congression
al districts, gave rise to a
short but violent controversy
between Mr. Ed Kemp (Dr.
Ramey Kemp's brother) of
Guilford and Mr. John Kerr
of Warren. Further argument
was avoided when a messenger
from the Senate brought word
that a similar resolution had
already been introduced in
that chamber. This news
brought a temporary truce,
that li..iy times are ahead.
The Thursday session for
the most part was concerned
with the Governor's budget
message which was delivered
before a joint session of the
House and Senate. The Gov
ernor called for no new taxes
at this time but promised to
be back with further propos
als, particularly in the field
of education. The majority of
the House appears to be in
favor of the budget and gen
erally sesm to favor more
aid for education, even if it
means higher taxes, but there
is a growing hope that dras
tic new taxes will not be
necessary.
At the Friday session Speak
er Hunt announced commit
tte appointments for two of
tne larger committees Fin
ance a;id Appropratio;-:S. Th-3
f .nance comni.ttee is composed
of half oi' the Membership
of ti.e House and is charged
with the duty of raising rev
fciiuo. The Apropriation Com
mittee, of wh:ch I am a mem
ber, is composed of the oth
er half of the membership and
is eriard witn the duty ot
spend. ng the money raised by
the Finance Committee.
