This brief commission speaking turn concerns the interpretation of a proposal in relation to the previous year’s report. Lederer treats the proposal as a formulation of that report, rather than as grounds for introducing proportional representation:
Im Sinne des vorjährigen Berichtes, dessen Formulierung der Vorschlag nur ist, kann Proportionalwahlrecht nicht gemeint sein.
English translation: In keeping with the previous year’s report, of which the proposal is merely a formulation, proportional representation cannot be intended.
His intervention makes continuity with the earlier report the criterion of interpretation. It excludes one reading without specifying the intended electoral arrangement or supplying further reasons.
