The quantization of Class A Bianchi Type VI and VII geometries -with all six scale factors, as well as the lapse function and the shift vector present- is considered. A first reduction of the initial 6-dimensional configuration space is achieved by the usage of the information furnished by the quantum form of the linear constraints. Further reduction of the space in which the wave function -obeying the Wheeler-DeWitt equation- lives, is accomplished by revealing a classical integral of motion, tantamount to an extra symmetry of the corresponding classical Hamiltonian. This symmetry generator -member of a larger group- is linear in momenta and corresponds to G.C.T.s through the action of the automorphism group -especially through the action of the outer automorphism subgroup. Thus, a G.C.T. invariant wave function is found, which depends on one combination of the two curvature invariants --which uniquely and irreducibly characterizes the hypersurfaces t=const.
