and to make recommendations thereon following a study of every
such proposal; and

WHEREAS, It would be most helpful to the members of the General
Assembly if some opportunity were afforded whereby members of the
Legislature could study these proposals in advance in order to be
able to act upon them with more judgment and foresight at the time
the Governor's capital improvement program is presented to the
General Assembly; and

WHEREAS, There is a splendid possibility now existing for some of
the members of the General Assembly to secure this information
from time to time by reason of the fact that the Chairman of the
Legislative Council is ex off icio a member of the State Planning Com-
mission and therefore eligible to attend the meetings and participate
in the studies of the Planning Commission; now therefore be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Chair-
man of the Legislative Council in his capacity as a member ex off icio
of the State Planning Commission be requested to report to the
Council from time to time concerning the proposals advanced for
major public improvements and also the study given to these pro-
posals and any recommendations made by the State Planning Com-
mission; and be it further

Resolved, That the Legislative Council be requested to supply to
all members of the General Assembly any such information as in its
judgment may be of interest to the entire membership of this Body.

Approved April 25, 1955.
