Bill > HR45

This resolution urges the New Hampshire congressional delegation to take legislative action to clarify the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine in the Piscataqua River, specifically seeking to establish that Seavey Island and Badger Island are within New Hampshire's boundaries. The resolution is grounded in several key assertions, including that New Hampshire claims full jurisdiction and control over the entire Piscataqua River, which is located entirely within Rockingham County, and that the state believes it has absolute right and title to the river's submerged lands. The resolution notes that the United States Supreme Court previously declined to hear a case about the river's boundary, and a legislative boundary commission found issues with law enforcement and security in the area. Additionally, the resolution requests that the President of the United States help designate the duty stations of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard personnel as being located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The document calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to the New Hampshire congressional delegation and the President, emphasizing the state's desire to formally clarify its territorial claims.
