J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                     1405

Whereas, There are many veterans in the State of Maryland who
are too ill or disabled to be self-sustaining, and

Whereas, There are approximately thirty-three (33) states in the
United States that presently have one or more State veterans' homes,
and

Whereas, Federal legislation has been enacted to give financial
assistance to these homes, and

Whereas, These homes have shown in the past the ability to re-
habilitate and re-educate these veterans, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Governor
of Maryland is hereby requested to appoint a commission to undertake
a study and review of the feasibility of establishing a Maryland
Veterans' Home, and the creation of a Board of Managers to admin-

Veterans' Commission and five (5) additional members to be ap-

served in the Armed Forces of the United States during any of its
wars or the Korean or Vietnam conflicts and who are by way of
interest, employment or avocation most familiar with veterans' prob-
lems. All members shall serve at the will of the Governor and shall
not be compensated except for reasonable expenses incurred in the
performance of their duties.

The commission is further requested to prepare its report and form-
ulate its recommendations concerning the subjects referred to it and
submit them to the Governor, the President of Senate, the members
of the Senate and the members of the House of Delegates not later
than January 20, 1967.

Approved May 6, 1966.

drivers for school buses; and

Whereas, the purchase, maintenance, and storage of large fleets
of school busses is becoming more costly; and

Whereas, school busses are over-crowded to the detriment of the
health and welfare of school children in Prince George's County;
