(b) Where the Federal area described in subsection (a)

9 is bounded by streets such streets shall be under the exclusive

10 jurisdiction of Maryland and the Federal jurisdiction shall

11 extend only to the sidewalks.

[Whereas the provisions of H.R. 4276 and H.R. 7730 are identical, H.R. 6786 contains a different Federal area, delineated as follows, together with the addition of another section, Section 4 providing for an additional Representative in Maryland to be elected from the area retroceded by H.R. 6786, as follows:]

SEC. 3 (a) The Federal area referred to in the first

section of this Act is more particularly described as that por-
tion of the District of Columbia situated within the boundary
line described as follows:

Beginning on the east side of Rock Creek where it meets the Potomac River and running generally north and east to a point where P Street Northwest intersects Rock Creek;

thence east on P Street Northwest to Florida Avenue;

thence following Florida Avenue to Fifteenth Street

Northeast;

thence south on Fifteenth Street Northeast to C

thence east on C Street Northeast to the East Capitol Street Bridge;

thence east on the East Capitol Street Bridge to the point where it intersects the middle of the Anacostia River channel;

thence generally south and west down the midchannel of the Anacostia River to that point in the channel that is due south of Hains Point;

thence due west to the present Virginia-District of Columbia boundary at the shoreline of Washington National Airport;

thence generally north and east up the Potomac River along the Virginia-District of Columbia boundary to a point parallel to the northernmost projection of Theodore Roosevelt Island;

thence cast to the confluence of Rock Creek and

the Potomac River.

(b) Where

thej

Federal area described in subsection (a) is bounded by streets such streets shall be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal City and the Federal jurisdiction shall extend to the sidewalks of the distant side of the street.

SEC. 4. Effective as of the date of the acceptance by the State of Maryland of the Federal area retroceded to it under

this Act, the State of Maryland shall be entitled to one Representative in addition to the number of Representatives to which it is otherwise entitled, until the taking effect of the next reapportionment, and such Representative shall be in addition to the membership of the House of Representatives, as now prescribed by law. Until otherwise provided by the State of Maryland, such additional Representative shall be elected from the Federal arca retroceded under this Act. Such temporary increase in the membership shall not operate to either increase or decrease the permanent membership of the House of Representatives as prescribed in the Act of August 8, 1911 (37 Stat. 13) nor shall such temporary increase affect the basis of apportionment established by the Act of November 15, 1941 (55 Stat. 761; 2 U.S.C. 2a), for the Eighty-third Congress and each Congress thereafter.
