In the House of Representatives, February 15, 1978
1 WHEREAS, The Governor has proposed the purchase of an

14 purchase an executive airplane only from a Pennsylvania based
15 corporation; and be it further
16 RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be delivered to the
17 Governor, the Honorable Milton J. Shapp.
