egg production in Maryland; and be it further

Council and the University of Maryland, Agriculture Economics

House Joint Resolution urging the study of the Migratory Bird Laws.

Whereas, There are, at present, many differences between the
Federal and State Laws and Regulations governing migratory
birds; and

bird laws of Maryland with the view of recodification and correla-
ting these laws with the Federal Regulations; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Gov-
ernor appoint a committee composed of a member of the General
Assembly, the Director of the Game and Inland Fish Commission,
one representative of each of the following organizations: The As-
sociated Sportsmen's Club of the Eastern Shore, the Central
Association of Sportsmen's Clubs, the Western Association of Sports-
men's Clubs and a representative of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. This Commission shall study the migratory bird laws and
