A RESOLUTION

 Directing Law and Justice Committee to study feasibility of establishing task force to investigate motor vehicle theft.

 WHEREAS, The theft of motor vehicles is becoming a very serious problem throughout this Commonwealth; and

 WHEREAS, The extent of the problem and appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce the widespread theft of motor vehicles may be determined only as a result of an extensive investigation; and

 WHEREAS, Legislation may be necessary to strengthen laws relating to manufacturers’ serial numbers on motor vehicles and to establish a special task force within the Pennsylvania State Police or other agency to investigate the problem relating to the theft of motor vehicles; therefore be it

 RESOLVED, That the Law and Justice Committee conduct a study to determine the feasibility of establishing a special task force in the Pennsylvania State Police or other agency to investigate the extent of the problem relating to the theft of motor vehicles and to determine whether legislation is necessary and appropriate to change or strengthen laws relating to manufacturer’s serial numbers on motor vehicles; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That the Law and Justice Committee make a report of its findings to the House of Representatives within 30 days following the adoption of this resolution, including drafts of any legislation necessary to implement its findings.

A RESOLUTION

 Directing Joint State Government Commission to study veterans functions and programs of Commonwealth agencies.

 WHEREAS, Veterans programs and the supervision of veterans functions are carried on by many Commonwealth agencies. Greater efficiency and a saving to the taxpayers would probably result from a consolidation of responsibility for veterans functions within the Department of Military Affairs. A study of the feasibility thereof would seem to be in order; therefore be it

 RESOLVED, That the Joint State Government Commission make a study of the various veterans functions and programs conducted by the Commonwealth agencies to determine the feasibility of placing the responsibility for the supervision of all of them on the Department of Military Affairs; and be it further

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 Directing appointment of joint commission to study injecting natural gas into underground strata.

 WHEREAS, The practice has developed in recent years of injecting natural gas into underground strata accessible through abandoned gas and oil wells for the purpose of storage; and

 WHEREAS, Many of these storage areas are located in the coal mining regions of this Commonwealth in fields in which many abandoned oil and gas wells remain unlocated; and

 WHEREAS, The resultant potential danger to the coal industry is such as to demand the attention of the people of Pennsylvania; therefore be it

 RESOLVED (the Senate concurring), That the Speaker of the House of Representatives appoint five members of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate appoint five members of the Senate, who together shall constitute a joint commission, to make a thorough study of the practice of injecting natural gas into underground strata for the purpose of storage, giving particular attention to the safety factors involved and to the total area of land affected by the practice; and be it further

§ 19.208. Memorializing Congress.


A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 Memorializing Congress to enact legislation regarding salary increases for postal employees.

 WHEREAS, Price inflation and the resultant increased wages of many segments of the population have made it increasingly difficult for low paid government employees to secure the necessities of life; and

 WHEREAS, The wages and salaries of postal employees are notoriously low in spite of the efficiency and dispatch with which they have conducted the business of the postal system; and

 WHEREAS, Inevitably, the postal service will lose many of its most able and competent employees to private industry if their wages and salaries are not increased to meet minimum decent living standards; therefore be it

 RESOLVED (the Senate concurring), That the General Assembly memorialize the Congress of the United States to support and enact legislation providing salary increases for postal employees and to take favorable action on House Bill No. 244 and Senate Bill No. 355; and be it further
