If the gentleman will yield. on page 71 .of this report. there is reference to the literacy test. but the act itself is much broader than that. The test or device in the section that I seek to amend is defined in the act to include the clauses that I just read. So that the gentleman is not talking about just the poor who may be illiterate here. and I agree with the gentleman fully for the idea of a literacy test. per se. is. I do not think. very practicable. but it goes much further than that. and talks about knowledge and understanding. and whatsoever. and no State would be able to require that forever.
