founding of Maryland (March 25, 1634); third,
the resignation in the State House at Annapolis
of Gen. George Washington as commander-in-
chief of the Revolutionary Army (December 23,
1783); and fourth, the ratification in the State
House at Annapolis of the Treaty of Paris for-
mally ending the War of Independence (January
14, 1784). The Committee is to cooperate with all
political subdivisions and interested private orga-
nizations in planning these commemorations, ad-
minister grant funds and review competitive grant

events and activities.

The Committee is composed of one representa-
tive from the Office of the Governor, one member
