No. 34
(House Joint Resolution 5)

House Joint Resolution requesting the immediate establishment of at
least two rest area tourist HIGHWAY TRAVEL information
centers by the State Roads Commission.

Whereas, as the American and Maryland economies prosper and
grow, an ever increasing number of people have larger amounts of
leisure time and money; and

Whereas, more and more people take trips away from their homes
on a regular basis to both nearby and distant destinations and for
many sorts of reasons; and

Whereas, many of these trips provide incentives and suggestions
for destinations for future trips; and

Whereas, any state can and should profit by taking maximum
advantage of the aforementioned facts; and

Whereas, Maryland has not heretofore availed itself of all the
potential means of telling travelers about the wonderful variety of
attractions within her boundaries; and

Whereas, offering pleasant and interesting rest area-information
centers would promote safer driving habits as well as advertising the
State; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the State
Roads Commission be requested and urged by the General Assembly
