No. 21
(House Joint Resolution 15)

House Joint Resolution commending Senator James B. Monroe on
his appointment as Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and requesting
that he not resign from the Senate until the end of the 1957 Legis-
lative Session.

Whereas, Honorable James B. Monroe, a member of the Senate
of Maryland from Charles County has recently been appointed by the
Governor to the post of Commissioner of Motor Vehicles of Mary-
land; and

Whereas, Senator Monroe is a man of wide experience with an
excellent record in the legislature, having been a member of the House
of Delegates from his county from 1935 to 1945 and a member of
the Senate from 1946 to the present time and a member of the Legis-
lative Council from 1939 to 1945, 1951, 1955 and 1956; and

Whereas, His colleagues from both political parties and in both
houses of the General Assembly of Maryland have grown to admire
and depend upon his long experience and good judgment; and

Whereas, His resignation from the Senate to accept this new
post, for which he is exceptionally well suited, would cause a great
loss this session to the Senate and the General Assembly of Mary-
land as a whole; now therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That this body
congratulates and commends Senator James B. Monroe upon the
occasion of being appointed Commissioner of Motor Vehicles of Mary-
land; and be it further

Resolved, That this body respectfully request of Senator James
B. Monroe that he not resign as a member of the Senate of Maryland
to accept this new post until the end of the 1957 session of the Legis-
lature; and be it further

Resolved, That the Secretary of State be and he is hereby in-
structed to send copies of this Resolution to Senator James B. Monroe,
the Governor of Maryland, and the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
of Maryland.

Approved April 10, 1957.
