The Bi-State Chesapeake Potomac Commission is composed of six
members, three appointed by the Governor of Maryland and three by
the Governor of Virginia. The participation of Maryland in the Com-
mission was authorized by Joint Resolution Number 3 of the Gen-
eral Assembly in 1947. The Commission was directed to restudy the
Compact of 1785 and the concurrent legislation of each State enacted
under the Compact; and to determine the need for additional legisla-
tion, reciprocal legislation, or additional inter-state agencies. The
Commission has held public hearings in Maryland and Virginia, con-
sulted wth federal authorities and the authorities of the departments
in each State having jurisdiction over tidewater fisheries. Additional
hearings will be held in each State during the coming year..
