project as constructed is not provided, with respect to sewer proj-
ects, beyond the area approved therefor. The program may be
amended by the next annual revision, or an interim amendment may
be accomplished by the following procedures. The Sanitary Commis-
sion may propose an amendment to a five year program by a resolu-
tion which shall before final adoption be transmitted along with a
statement of explanation to the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, and the same procedures followed with
respect thereto as in Subsection (c) (B), above, provided, and if it in-
volves a water or sewer line in Montgomery County by submission
to the Montgomery County Council, with respect to which the pro-
cedures specified in Subsection (d) (C), above, shall apply.

(h) Cooperation among the Counties and agencies. It is the
intention of the General Assembly that the Sanitary Commission,
the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the
County Council for Montgomery County and the Board of County
Commissioners for Prince George's County shall cooperate to the
fullest extent in seeking to attain maximum harmony of the water
and sanitary sewerage construction programs with the other elements
of orderly growth in the two Counties. The two Commissions, the
County Council and the Board of County Commissioners are en-
couraged to meet and discuss the programs in discussion and work
sessions, and the Sanitary Commission shall give to the County
Council and the Board of County Commissioners such additional
information and details, either orally or in writing, as the latter
may request in connection with their respective considerations of
the programs. [It is the intent of the General Assembly that the
Sanitary Commission, the Park and Planning Commission and the
County Council shall cooperate to the fullest extent and shall seek to
attain maximum harmony of the sewer and water construction pro-
grams with the other elements of orderly growth in Montgomery
County.]

(i) Method of Sanitary Commission adoption. The Commission's
proposed programs and any amendment thereto shall be prepared
and submitted as hereinabove recited. The adoption of the final five
year program, each year, and of any interim amendment thereto,
to be effective shall be by resolution of a majority of the members of
the Sanitary Commission and, in addition, all the projects or portions
thereof in each program proposed exclusively to provide service in
Montgomery County and Prince George's County, respectively, shall
be approved by a majority of the Sanitary Commissioners from the
respective County. In finally adopting each five year water and
sewer program or any interim amendment thereto the Commission
shall amend its respective proposal where such amendment is re-
quired by the aforegoing subsections of this section.

(j) Prior Programs. Any five year water or sewer program or
any interim amendment thereto, adopted by the Commission prior
to June 1, 1966, shall not be affected by the aforegoing provisions.
The Commission may construct any water or sewer project approved
in a five year program adopted under the Five Year Program Law

as it existed prior to the effective date of this Act (June 1, 1966),

according to the terms and conditions of the approval, without re-

gard to the aforegoing provisions unless the project must be treated

as a new one under subsection (b) hereof, in which event the provi-
sions of that subsection shall apply.
