Mr. Speaker,
It is clear to myself, and as it appears much of this Congress, that Kentucky is much deserving of the distinction of one of our United States. To them, I offer my support, and my vote.
I must ask this chamber, however, if there should be a minimum set of guidelines a territory such as Kentucky should meet in order to be granted statehood? My fear is that by admitting a worthy state such as Kentucky, this Congress will be greeted with a number of copy-cat territories of much less merit that wish to be states -- flooding our Congress with bills and wasting our time.
If there are delegates in favor of such a system of merit to allow a territory to petition for statehood, I would love to be a part of the creation of such a bill.
I yield.
