THE STATE ASSENTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OF
CONGRESS ENTITLED "AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE UNITED
STATES SHALL AID THE STATES IN PISH RESTORATION AND
MANAGEMENT PROJECTS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES", APPROVED
AUGUST 9, 1950, PUBLIC LAW 681, EIGHTY-FIRST CONGRESS,
64 STAT. 658. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL PERFORM EVERY ACT
NECESSARY TO CONDUCT AND ESTABLISH COOPERATIVE FISH
RESTORATION PROJECTS, AS DEFINED IN THIS ACT OF
CONGRESS, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ACT AND RULES AND
REGULATIONS THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR PROMULGATES
PURSUANT TO IT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 227 of the Code. It
is placed in this subtitle because the Act
of Congress concerns all species of fish in
both tidal and nontidal waters. The last
clause is proposed for deletion and placed
in section 4-208.

The only other changes made are in style.
