SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                     1739

No. 51
(House Joint Resolution 42)

House Joint Resolution requesting the States of Maryland and
Delaware to cooperate in forming a joint commission to study the
joint problems of the Delmarva Peninsula.

Whereas, The northern half of the Delmarva Peninsula is divided
almost evenly between the states of Maryland and Delaware, and

Whereas, In this area there are many problems which because of
this geographic fact can only be solved by the joint efforts of both
states, and

Whereas, To properly maintain and conserve many of the natural
resources in this border area cooperation between the governments
of both states is imperative, and

Whereas, If the Governors of both states come to an agreement
over the need for such cooperation and appointed a commission to
formulate plans for cooperation between the states in this area it
would benefit the citizens of both states; therefore be it

Resolved, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the
Governor of Maryland and the Governor of Delaware are requested
to appoint a joint committee to formulate a plan for cooperation of
both states in solving the joint problems and maintaining and con-
serving the joint natural resources of the Delmarva Peninsula; and
be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent Governor Spiro T.
Agnew of Maryland and Governor Charles L. Terry, Jr. of Delaware.

Approved May 4, 1967.

sideration of the proper closing hours, weekend hours and Sunday
