Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled^ That section 1 of 
the Act approved June 6, 1924, entitled "An Act providing for a oVi95z 
comprehensive development of the park and playground system of the 
National Capital" (43 Stat. 463), as amended, is hereby further

amended by substituting in lieu thereof the following: 
GENERAL PURPOSES, FINDINGS, AND DEFINITIONS 
"SECTION 1. (a) It is the purpose of this Act to secure comprehen-
sive planning for the physical development of the National Capital 
and its environs; to provide for the participation of the appropriate 
planning agencies of the environs in such planning; and to establish 
the agency and procedures requisite to the administration of the func-
tions of the Federal and District of Columbia governments related to 
such planning. 
The Congress hereby finds that the location of the 
seat of government in the District of Columbia has brought about the 
development of a metropolitan region extending well into adjoining 
territory in Maryland and Virginia; that effective comprehensive 
planning is necessary on a regional basis and of continuing importance 
to the Federal establishment; that the distribution of Federal installa-
tions throughout the region has been and will continue to be a major 
influence in determining the extent and character of development; 
that there is needed a central planning agency for the National Capital 
region to coordinate certain developmental activities of the many dif-
ferent agencies of the Federal and District Governments so that such 
activities may conform with general objectives; that there is an increas-
ing mutuality of interest and responsibility between the various levels 
of government that calls for coordinate and unified policies in planning 
both Federal and local development in the interest of order and 
economy; that there are developmental problems of an interstate 
character, the planning of which requires collaboration between Fed-
eral, State, and local governments in the interest of equity and con-
structive action; and that the instrumentalities and procedures herein 
provided will aid in providing the Congress from time to time with 
information and advice requisite to legislation. 
The general objective 
of this Act is to enable appropriate agencies to plan for the develop-
ment of the Federal establishment at the seat of government in a 
manner consistent with the nature and function of the National Capital 
and with due regard for the rights and prerogatives of the adjoining 
States and local governments to exercise control appropriate to their 
functions, and in a manner which will, in accordance with present and 
future needs, best promote public health, safety, morals, order, con-
venience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as well as efficiency and 
economy in the process of development.
