    MEMO
TO: J. LeVonne Chambers, Napoleon Williams, Steve Suitts and
Dr. Raymond Wheeler
FROM: Leslie J. Winner )‘5V~J

DATE: November 4, 1981

Enclosed is the new apportionment plan adopted by the North
Carolina House. As I am sure most of you know, the Senate did
not end up changing its plan. Note Section 3 oi the Bill which
changes the tiling date for the General Assembly and for Congress
to begin February 15 and end March 1, 1982. It looks like we

have been given a little extra time.
