SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                      1589

No. 18
(Senate Joint Resolution 69)

Senate Joint Resolution requesting the continuation of the Governor's
Commission on Pesticides.

In 1967, following the provisions of Senate Joint Resolution 54,
the Governor of Maryland appointed a Commission of 21 members
to review the problems arising in the use of pesticides to consider
regulations to regulate such uses and to submit to the General
Assembly any legislation which appeared to be necessary.

This Commission was appointed late in 1967 and has held a number
of meetings. Its work has been organized and it has reviewed the
many useful points of view of its members who represent numerous
areas of pesticide use and control.

The Commission now finds that it needs further time to assemble
this data and to give further and detailed consideration to a number
of specific questions in order that finally it will be able to present
to the Governor and the General Assembly its recommendation on
education, research, and on regulations on the uses of pesticides in
Maryland.

Accordingly the General Assembly is recommending to the Gover-
nor of Maryland that this Commission be continued in order that its
work may be satisfactorily completed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Governor
is requested to extend the time available to the Governor's Commis-
sion on Pesticides to report on its work and recommendations with
the further request that this report be made to the Governor and the
General Assembly prior to the 1969 Session of the General Assembly.

Approved April 10, 1968.

No. 19

(Senate Joint Resolution 71)

Senate Joint Resolution calling for formulation and implementation
of an effective and adequate industrial training program in this
State.

Whereas, There is increasing evidence that industrial training
programs specifically designed for new and expanding industries is
a factor of growing importance in the attraction of new industries
and the stimulation of sound economic growth; and

In some areas in Maryland a large pool of skilled labor is not
presently available to new and expanding industries.

There is evidence of a substantial pool of unskilled labor avail-
able in many of these same areas within Maryland.
