MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
THROUGH:
RICHARD B. CHENEY
PPB
FROM:
DOUGLAS P. BENNETT
SUBJECT:
Interstate Commission on the Potomac
River Basin (PA-WOC)
This memorandum seeks your approval of the appointment of Calvin
G. Sanford to the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin.
The subject Commission was established in 1940 under a Compact
among the five Potomac River Basin states to coordinate all water
and related land resources in the Basin. The Commission consists
of members appointed by each of the signatory states: Maryland,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia;
and three Federal members appointed by you who serve without com-
pensation at your pleasure. The two Federal members currently
serving are from Maryland and Pennsylvania. This vacancy is due to
the resignation of Arnold C. Sternberg who is leaving the area.
I recommend the appointment of Calvin G. Sanford (Resume at Tab A),
a Republican from Virginia. A businessman, farmer and merchant,
Mr. Sanford has been a member of the Virginia House of Delegates
since 1974. He served as a member of the Westmoreland County Board
of Supervisors from 1971 to 1974 and is currently a Director of the
Bank of Westmoreland. Mr. Stanford resides in Virginia's 1st
District, represented by Thomas Downing (Democrat), and is recom-
mended AR7 for this position by the RNC and Jack Marsh.
