Feeling sampled by the poll ran 95 per cent against the new Capitol, to be built behind the present structure.

Bass' poll respondents were 51 per cent opposed to the ERA issue, compared to the Poole and Avon surveys, which listed opposition as high as 63 and 64 per cent, respectively. Bass said most of the opposition to ERA came from respondents who lived in southwest Fort Lauderdale and Plantation. The Plantation legislator called "shield law" to protect the sources of information given newsmen and a "death with dignity" bill which would allow terminally ill patients or the relatives of incapacitated patients, to order physicians to halt life-prolonging medical treatment.

But he said he was uncertain about the fate of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The vote on the women's rights measure will be close, the speaker said. "I don't know whether it will barely pass or barely fail," he said.

The Senate this week passed the bill giving 18-20-ycar-olds all rights and responsibilities of adulthood, including drinking, gambling, and signing binding contracts. Tha House Rules Committee scheduled the bill for House floor action Thursday, and Sessums said, "I believe the House will pass the bill in the same forr, in the Senate passed it."
