Preamble The need of deep
water harbor on the coast of the Gulf of
Mexico vitally affects nearly one-fourth of
the people of the United States, we deem
the request contained in the foregoing reso-
lutions of such great and paramount import
ance as to Justify their early reference to the
official notice of the president of the United
States. In order that he may be duly aud
fully informed and be able, as contemplated
in the constitution of the United States, to
give congress information of the state of the
union and recommend for their considera-
ton such measures as he shall Judge nsces-
sary and expedient: therefore be it
Resolred, That a copy of the foregoing
resolutions be- transmitted to the president
and that he be requested to make his annual
message to the congress of the United States,
such recommendation with reference to a
location to deep water harbor as shall
seem to him proper and expedient.
