Too often it is one party power and sticks it to the other party. And then secondly i know you mentioned geographic concerns. We try to putt some other limitations on the map drawing process by requiring districts to be drawn more according to county lines or natural geographic features rather than just these crazy districts that squiggle around. Thats not you know not easy to do but one thing it does is makes it possible impossible for people to be too key yative. Some of the districts are very, very creative and having little bit more limitation on the process, open process about how to redistrict we are for. We werent willing to go as some people say to go to california or arizona which have models which are more completely out of the political process. They have turned it over to citizens. They dont want the legislature or the parties involved. Our commission really believed that having both parties have a say in those maps made sense but we did agree with you in many ways redistri ....
Said earlier our foreign friends, we had a meeting in baltimore where over 30 countries came with representatives to talk to them about the appropriate way of banning boultry if we have this, that its not fair to your poultry producers because theres an incident in oregon or iowa the ban production from you and so were continuing to work on that, as well.

The committee will come to order. Mr. Chairman. Yes, sir. Might i request information as to how we intend to proceed today when we will see the managers amendment and will it be sufficient time to understand the document understanding that we are going to the floor pretty quickly and because time constraints and the view that we hold that we want time to be able to take a look at whats in the managers amendment based on whats happened as a monday evening and short notice that we received on thursday. It appears likely that we will at this schedule and pace have very little time to see the managers amendment and to react to it. I suppose the second question based upon what we have seen this morning with the delay is has there been a possibility for republicans to have seen and read and devoured the managers amendment . So as we laid out at the beginning of the week, we are convening today to finish the democratic amendments. You indicated there were five or six more you wanted to have u ....
