Telephone: 717 238-3024 The Interstate Advisory Committee on the Susquehanna River Basin was created by the joint action of the Executive and Legislative leaders of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York to participate actively in studies and formulation of sound development programs for the Susquehanna River Basin. Each State is represented on the Committee by two appointees of the Governor and two of the Legis- lative branch, plus alternates for each. The group coordinates with an overall study program conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers and presents the point of view of the States, as well as the expert knowledge of State officials and technical personnel in various aspects of the study considerations. The Com- mittee maintains an office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with a small staff which services and coordinates the activities of the Committee and develops from time to time specific background material on perti- nent areas of concern. The Committee rotates its meetings throughout the Susquehanna Basin at regular intervals, often timing them to coin- cide with Corps of Engineers' meetings. The Committee has created a subcommittee to work on the develop- ment of an Interstate Compact for the future development of the Susquehanna River Basin. The Committee operates with a staff of four persons with. an annual budget of $60,000, of which Maryland's share is $12,000.
