JOINT RESOLUTIONS

No. 1
(House Joint Resolution 1)

House Joint Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to
enact legislation to prescribe what time shall be the legal time
within the eastern time zone of the United States.

Whereas, The State of Maryland endorses the proposal of the
Commonwealth of Virginia to have the Congress of the United
States fix the legal time to be observed in the eastern time zone
of the United States; and

Whereas, A great deal of confusion has arisen concerning day-
light time and eastern standard time in the eastern time zone; and

Whereas, Attempts by the states to regulate this matter are likely
to cause more confusion, and, in a matter as important as this,
uniformity is highly desirable; and

Whereas, It, therefore, seems desirable to have the Congress of the
United States prescribe what time shall be applicable in the eastern
time zone of the United States; and

Whereas, The General Assembly of Virginia has, by Resolution,
requested the Congress of the United States to prescribe what time
shall be applicable in the eastern time zone of the United States
and, if different times are to prevail at different periods of the year,
then to establish the periods during which such different times shall
be observed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That we urge the
Congress of the United States to enact legislation to prescribe what
time shall be the legal time within the eastern time zone of the United
States; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this Resolution be sent to Senators Beall
and Brewster, and to Representatives Fallon, Friedel, Garmatz,
Lankford, Long, Mathias, Morton and Sickles.

Approved February 26, 1963.

No. 2
(House Joint Resolution 7)

House Joint Resolution requesting the State Roads Commission to
name the new Northeastern Expressway as the Millard E. Tydings

Whereas, The State Roads Commission is engaged in the con-

to the Delaware State line, paralleling U.S. Route 40, which road
has been called the Northeastern Expressway; and
