174 ADDRESSES AND STATE PAPERS

campaign and I said it this year — I will not support any legislation
that would interfere with the right of an individual home owner to
dispose of his or her property, through single, casual or isolated resale
of his or her property, to whomever he or she may please to sell it. I

A. I would think I would unless there was some very unusual reason
for not following the recommendation. I think this is a good way to
assist the Governor in screening the candidates. Who would know
more about the activity and the dedication of an individual in the
area of education than those who are working in it on a day to day
basis? This doesn't mean that I would forgo the right to depart from
those lists if I thought there was a very good reason for doing so. But
I'm persuaded to try to stay within lists unless there is an excellent
reason to depart from them.

Q. There have been charges leveled by Baltimore members of the
Legislature against McKeldin's administration, that the administration
had broken faith with the Legislature in failing to go along with
