urging Congress to find that the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth Harbor lie within the state of New Hampshire.

This House Resolution (HR 45) urges Congress to formally recognize that the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth Harbor are entirely within New Hampshire's boundaries. It specifically requests Congress establish the New Hampshire-Maine boundary in the river and designate Portsmouth Naval Shipyard personnel's duty stations as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The resolution directly affects New Hampshire's state authority over the river's submerged lands and the naval shipyard's administrative jurisdiction. It does not create new laws but seeks federal acknowledgment of existing state claims.
