BETWEEN THE STATES OF ALABAMA AND GEORGIA.

The consent of Congress is given to the amendment of articles I,
II, and III of the Historic Chattahoochee Compact between the States of
Alabama and Georgia, which articles, as amended, read as follows:

''ARTICLE I

''The purpose of this compact is to promote the cooperative
development of the Chattahoochee valley's full potential for historic
preservation and tourism and to establish a joint interstate authority
to assist in these efforts.

''ARTICLE II

''This compact shall become effective immediately as to the States
ratifying it whenever the States of Alabama and Georgia have ratified
it and Congress has given consent thereto.

''ARTICLE III

''The States which are parties to this compact (hereinafter
referred to as 'party States') do hereby establish and create a joint
agency which shall be known as the Historic Chattahoochee Commission
(hereinafter referred to as the 'Commission'). The Commission shall
consist of 28 members who shall be bona fide residents and qualified
voters of the party States and counties served by the Commission.
Election for vacant seats shall be by majority vote of the voting
members of the Commission board at a regularly scheduled meeting. In
Alabama, two shall be residents of Barbour County, two shall be
residents of Russell County, two shall be residents of Henry County,
two shall be residents of Chambers County, two shall be residents of
Lee County, two shall be residents of Houston County, and two shall be
residents of Dale County. In Georgia, one shall be a resident of Troup
County, one shall be a resident of Harris County, one shall be a
resident of Muscogee County, one shall be a resident of Chattahoochee
County, one shall be a resident of Stewart County, one shall be a
resident of Randolph County, one shall be a resident of Clay County,
one shall be a resident of Quitman County, one shall be a resident of
Early County, one shall be a resident of Seminole County, and one shall
be a resident of Decatur County. In addition, there shall be three at-
large members who shall be selected from any three of the Georgia
member counties listed above. The Commission at its discretion may
appoint as many advisory members as it deems necessary from any Georgia
or Alabama County which is located in the Chattahoochee Valley area.
The contribution of each party State shall be in equal amounts. If the
party States fail to appropriate equal amounts to the Commission during
any given fiscal year, voting membership on the Commission board shall
be determined as follows: The State making the larger appropriation
shall be entitled to full voting membership. The total number of
members from the other State shall be divided into the amount of the
larger appropriation and the resulting quotient shall be divided into
the amount of the smaller appropriation. The then resulting quotient,
rounded to the next lowest whole number, shall be the number of voting
members from the State making the smaller contribution. The members of
the Commission from the State making the larger contribution shall
decide which of the members from the other State shall serve as voting
members, based upon the level of tourism, preservation, promotional
activity, and general support of the Commission's activities by and in
the county of residence of each of the members of the State making the
smaller appropriation. Such determination shall be made at the next
meeting of the Commission following September 30 of each year. Members
of the Commission shall serve for terms of office as follows: Of the 14
Alabama members, one from each of said counties shall serve for two
years and the remaining member of each county shall serve for four
years. Upon the expiration of the original terms of office of Alabama
members, all successor Alabama members shall be appointed for four-year
terms of office, with seven vacancies in the Alabama membership
occurring every two years. Of the 14 Georgia members, seven shall serve
four-year terms and seven two-year terms for the initial term of this
compact. The terms of the individual Georgia voting members shall be
determined by their place in the alphabet by alternating the four- and
two-year terms beginning with Chattahoochee County, four years, Clay
County, two years, Decatur County, four years, etc. Upon the expiration
of the original terms of office of Georgia members, all successor
Georgia members shall be appointed for four-year terms of office, with
seven vacancies in the Georgia membership occurring every two years. Of
the three Georgia at-large board members, one shall serve a four-year
term and two shall serve two-year terms.
''All board members shall serve until their successors are
appointed and qualified. Vacancies shall be filled by the voting
members of the Commission. The first chairman of the commission created
by this compact shall be elected by the board of directors from among
its voting membership. Annually thereafter, each succeeding chairman
shall be selected by the members of the Commission. The chairmanship
shall rotate each year among the party States in order of their
acceptance of this compact. Members of the Commission shall serve
without compensation but shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual
expenses incurred in the performance of the duties of the
Commission.''.
