No. 3
(Senate Joint Resolution 3)

Senate Joint Resolution Congratulating Honorable Thomas B. Finan
on his appointment as Attorney General of Maryland.

The members of the General Assembly are pleased to learn of the
appointment of Honorable Thomas B. Finan as Attorney General
of Maryland.

Mr. Finan began the practice of law in 1939 and at an early date
achieved the professional respect of the Bench and Bar of Maryland.

His service in local and Statewide offices has been extensive and
distinguished, ranging from governmental and political offices during
which he was appointed three times as City Solicitor of Cumberland,
and since early 1959, Secretary of State of Maryland, and extending
to the Chairmanship successively of the Democratic State Central
Committee for Allegany County, and the Democratic State Central
Committee for the State of Maryland.

We believe his record of service to the State of Maryland well
justifies the responsibility our Governor has wisely vested in him as
Attorney General of the State; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That we congrat-
ulate the Honorable Thomas B. Finan on his appointment as Attorney
General of Maryland; and be it further

Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate send a copy of this
resolution to the Honorable Thomas B. Finan.

Approved February 27, 1961.
