STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Six
A RESOLUTION recognizing that Seavey Island and the Piscataqua River are within the boundaries of the state of New Hampshire.
Whereas, Seavey Island is in the Piscataqua River and, like Portsmouth, the island provides ready access to the Atlantic Ocean; and
Whereas, historical records support the proposition that the sixth and seventeenth Congress of the United States annexed Seavey Island to Portsmouth, New Hampshire; and
Whereas, recognizing that Seavey Island and the Piscataqua River are in New Hampshire will serve to protect the public from terrorism and similar threats to public safety and homeland security because this definition of the New Hampshire boundary will clarify responsibility for the security of the entire Piscataqua River and the Portsmouth Harbor; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
That the general court hereby recognizes that Seavey Island and the Piscataqua River are within the boundaries of the state of New Hampshire.
Approved: March 3, 2006
