J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor 501

to the high office of President of the Association of Legislative
Leaders.

This group of outstanding legislators from virtually every State
in the Union is giving significant leadership and guidance to State
Legislative Bodies throughout the country. Being composed of the
leaders of Legislatures from the entire nation, it has a membership
comprised of persons with long experience and tested competence in
the legislative process.

Mr. Boone, Delegate from Baltimore County, has been an out-
standing member of the Association of Legislative Leaders through-
out its life. He has served on its Board of Directors and at all times
has taken an active and creditable part in the work and activities of
this fine organization.

At the 1961 National meeting of the Association of Legislative
Leaders, Mr. Boone became its President. It is an honor to him and
to the entire State of Maryland, and the General Assembly in which
he has served so long is pleased to mark the occasion. Now, there-
fore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland) That the sincere
congratulations and best wishes of this Body be expressed to the
Honorable A. Gordon Boone upon the occasion of his being elected
President of the Association of Legislative Leaders; and be it further

Resolved, That the Secretary of State of Maryland be requested to
send copies of this Resolution under the Great Seal of the State of
Maryland to Mr. Boone and to the Secretary of the National Associa-
tion of Legislative Leaders, Honorable Richard Roth, State Capitol,
Albany, New York.

Approved March 23, 1962.

No. 18
(House Joint Resolution 7)

House Joint Resolution requesting the Governor to appoint a com-
mission to study day care services for children in Maryland.

WHEREAS, The provision of proper day care arrangements for
children of working mothers or for children whose family situation
is such that they are unable to receive adequate care is of major
importance to the community; and

WHEREAS, While some studies of the problem have been made in
the metropolitan areas of this State, no thorough examination has
been made of the question in most of the counties of this State; and

WHEREAS, As a consequence, the information now available with
regard to existing facilities is so incomplete and insufficient as to
make it difficult to determine whether this problem is being ade-
quately dealt with on a statewide basis; and
