Mr. Speaker,

I rise to caution against the rapid passage of this act. This body has yet to hear from the government of North Carolina on its opinion on the subject. We do not wish to create another crisis just as the one in Pennsylvania seems to be in the process of subsiding.

I would, with the permission of this house, humbly invite a representative of the government of North Carolina to enlighten us on their state's attitude towards the creation of the new state of Cumberland.

I yield.

(My apologies, I should have read the article more closely than I did.)

Mr. Speaker,

My concerns over North Carolina's view on the ascension of Cumberland to statehood have been resolved. However, as per the state of North Carolina's wishes, I would support the removal of the fourth point of this act.

Should that be done, I will have no qualms supporting Cumberland's statehood.

I yield.

Mr. Speaker,

I support the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kentucky, and should it be adopted, I will have no qualms about supporting this act. I thank Mr. Wilkinson for his work in ensuring the fairness of this act.

I yield.
