chairman of the Comm illee on the Legislature. Citizen testimony is scheduled to continue through the week, including in special Friday night and Saturday committee sessions. In hearings Tuesday, two members of the executive conv mittce indicated proposals by the Constitutional Revision Commission (CRC) may have gone too far in expanding the governor's power. Rep. Tom Schieffer, D-Fort Worth, objected particularly to a proposal giving the governor power to reduce the size of individual legislative appropriations.
