Yes. I have never intimated to the distinguished Senator from Mississippi or to anyone that I was going to ask him to assist me in this way. I ask that the Senator now take out his watch and see how long it takes me to meet the North Carolina literacy test. which. as I say. is typical of many literacy tests throughout the country. It is embodied in section 4. article VI of the North Carolina constitution. and reads as follows: Every person presenting himself for registration shall be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English language. In order that I may meet the test.
