§ 8301. Definition
In this chapter, the term ‘‘Washington metropolitan region’’ includes the
District of Columbia, the counties of Montgomery and Prince Georges in
Maryland, and the counties of Arlington and Fairfax and the cities of Alex-
andria and Falls Church in Virginia.
§ 8302. Necessity for coordination in the development of the
Washington metropolitan region
Because the District of Columbia is the seat of the Federal Government
and has become the urban center of a rapidly expanding Washington metro-
politan region, the necessity for the continued and effective performance of
the functions of the Government in the District of Columbia, the general
welfare of the District of Columbia, the health and living standards of the
people residing or working in the District of Columbia, and the conduct of
industry, trade, and commerce in the District of Columbia require that to
the fullest extent possible the development of the District of Columbia and
the management of its public affairs, and the activities of the departments,
agencies, and instrumentalities of the Government which may be carried out
in, or in relation to, the other areas of the Washington metropolitan region,
shall be coordinated with the development of those other areas and with the
management of their public affairs so that, with the cooperation and assist-
ance of those other areas, all of the areas in the Washington metropolitan
area shall be developed and their public affairs shall be managed so as to
contribute effectively toward the solution of the community development
180
problems of the Washington metropolitan region on a unified metropolitan
basis.
§ 8303. Declaration of policy of coordinated development
and management
The policy to be followed for the attainment of the objective established
by section 8302 of this title, and for the more effective exercise by Congress,
the executive branch of the Federal Government, the Mayor of the District
of Columbia, and all other officers, agencies, and instrumentalities of the
District of Columbia of their respective functions, powers, and duties in re-
spect of the Washington metropolitan region, shall be that the functions,
powers, and duties shall be exercised and carried out in a manner that (with
proper recognition of the sovereignty of Maryland and Virginia in respect
of those areas of the Washington metropolitan region that are located within
their respective jurisdictions) will best facilitate the attainment of the co-
ordinated development of the areas of the Washington metropolitan area
and the coordinated management of their public affairs so as to contribute
effectively to the solution of the community development problems of the
Washington metropolitan region on a unified metropolitan basis.
§ 8304. Priority projects
In carrying out the policy pursuant to section 8303 of this title for the
attainment of the objective established by section 8302 of this title, priority
should be given to the solution, on a unified metropolitan basis, of the prob-
lems of water supply, sewage disposal, and water pollution and transpor-
tation.
