1626                            JOINT RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, the financial position of Baltimore City makes it un-

which are essentially a responsibility of the State of Maryland and
the medical need of the people of Maryland make it desirable for
certain of the facilities of the Baltimore City Hospitals to be made
more generally available without regard to political boundaries;
now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Governor
of Maryland and the Mayor of the City of Baltimore be and they
are hereby requested to establish a commission of twelve members,
six to be appointed by the Governor and six to be appointed by the
Mayor and such members shall include representatives of the State
and the Municipal Governments, said Commission to report its
findings and recommendations to the Governor and the General
Assembly of Maryland and to the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more; the Commission shall be established for the purpose of
studying the future program and plan of Baltimore City Hospitals
and its relationship to State programs and plans including the pos-
sibility of State operation of all or part of Baltimore City Hospitals
and including also the feasibility of using Baltimore City Hospitals
as a training facility for a medical school; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this Resolution be sent to the Governor
of Maryland and the Mayor of Baltimore City.
