the 15th Annual Meeting created an overall scientific committee to digest scientific material and present condensed reports to the Com- mission. A similar committee was established to report on legal matters. The technical advice and research facilities of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service are available to the Commission and its member states. Each participating state contributes to the support of the Commission in proportion to the value of its Marine Fisheries catch as compared with the total Atlantic catch. The Commission issues mimeographed minutes of Annual, Section, and Committee meetings. The Annual Meeting minutes contain scientific appendices. The Commission also issues printed Annual Reports. All are on file in the office of the Department of Chesapeake Bay Affairs (Code 1957, 1970 Repl. Vol., Art. 66C, sees. 256-61). The Commission also publishes and distributes the Marine Resources Leaflet series, including Atlantic Menhaden, Soft-Shell Clam, Southern Shrimp, American Lobster, Summer Flounder, American Shad, Striped Bass, Haddock, Atlantic Cod, Oyster, Marine Bait Worms, Spotted Seatrout, Hard Clam, and Hard Clam Supplement.

Edward Temple Vice Chairmen: Albert R. Miller, Jr. Alan J. Sommerville Julian M. Alexander George R. Heidrich Norman E. Jackson Treasurer: Paul W. McKee Roy L. Orndorff, Executive Secretary Room 1104, 1025 Vermont Avenue, N.W., Washington, D. C. 20005 Telephone: 737-6250 The Potomac River Basin Advisory Committee, originally known as the Interstate Advisory Committee on the Potomac River Basin, was created as a result of a conference attended by the Governors of Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland and the Presi- dent of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia in Washington, D. C„ on April 19, 1965, to coordinate and represent the genuine interests of the states in Potomac Basin planning activity but, most importantly, to advise the heads of government on the best possible permanent interstate organization to plan, develop and man- age the water and related resources of the Potomac River Basin. The Advisory Committee, made up of three representatives from each of the five jurisdictions, has pursued its assignments, and has completed and presented to the governors a proposal for an interstate- federal water resources Compact. After enactment by each of the Basin states and the U. S. Congress, the new Compact will become effective and the Potomac River Basin Commission will come into being to exercise the powers granted by the Compact. Virginia ratified the Compact in 1970, while Maryland enacted it by Chapter 30, Acts of 1971 (Code 1957, 1964 Repl. Vol., 1971 Supp., Art. 96A, sees. 111-126). |
