“I will insert in the Record under yesterday's date, March 21, a CRS report handed to me by Eleanor Holmes Norton that validates the fact that the one man, one vote principle is not violated by the Utah creation of an at-large district. We have had a lot of predictions from Members of the Congress who may be on the Supreme Court someday. They predicted unconstitutionality and constitutionality. Let's leave it up to the Court. But, remember, those challenging on the basis of unconstitutionality have the burden. I close with this observation: The three recommendations we have had, a constitutional amendment; retrocession, giving D.C. back to Maryland; or statehood, are not going to work. I urge support for this measure before us today.”
