This resolution urges Congress to affirm that the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth Harbor are entirely within the state of New Hampshire. It asserts that jurisdiction and ownership of the river and its submerged lands belong solely to New Hampshire, with the only limitation being the national navigational servitude. The resolution emphasizes the importance of these waters to the state and the necessity for New Hampshire to maintain control and management to ensure public trust and safety. It also highlights a previous petition to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the boundary, which was not heard, and notes concerns about the lack of enforcement of laws in the area.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the New Hampshire congressional delegation to introduce legislation to clearly establish the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine in the inner Piscataqua River. It specifically states that Seavey Island and Badger Island are part of New Hampshire and requests that the duty stations of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard personnel be designated as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to relevant congressional members and the President of the United States to facilitate these actions.
