013034400WHEREAS, through the passage of Senate Joint Resolution No. 121, the 2000 Session of the Virginia General Assembly established the Joint Subcommittee to Study Creation of a Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority; and
WHEREAS, although the Joint Subcommittee held five well-attended and informative meetings in the course of 2000, the complexity of the issues, the number and variety of jurisdictions affected, and the high cost and political sensitivity of possible recommendations have made it impossible for the Joint Subcommittee to complete its study within the time contemplated by SJR 121 of the 2000 Session; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the Joint
Subcommittee to Study Creation of a Northern Virginia Regional Transportation
