MARYLAND MANUAL 247 the executive and legislative branches of each State government and of the local communities may have ready access to the experience and record of the entire country, and so that both lay and profes- sional groups in the field of education may have additional avenues for the sharing of experience and the interchange of ideas in the formation of public policy in education. Maryland pays an annual fee of $11,500 for its State membership assessment. The same Act also created the Maryland Educational Council, which consists of seven members, of whom two are ex officio members and three are appointed by the Governor because of their interest in educational matters and who reflect the interests of the State gov- ernment, higher education, the State educational system, and local education. Their terms coincide with those of the appointing Governor. The ex officio members are the Governor and the State Superintendent of Schools. One member is appointed by the President of the Senate and one by the Speaker of the House of Delegates (Code 1957, 1965 Kepi. Vol., 1968 Supp., Art. 41, gees. 375-384).

The Commission is composed of represen- tatives from the United States Government, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The repre- sentatives from Maryland include the Governor and two members, residents of the Potomac River Conservancy District, who are ap- pointed by the Governor for two-year terms (Code 1957, 1965 Repl.
