This resolution urges Congress to affirm that the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth Harbor are entirely within the jurisdiction of New Hampshire. It emphasizes that the state has complete dominion over the tidal waters and submerged lands of the river and harbor, which are vital to New Hampshire's interests. The resolution highlights the need for adequate protection and management of these waters to ensure public trust and safety, especially given the lack of enforcement and security in the area. It also notes that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to resolve the boundary dispute between New Hampshire and Maine, which has implications for the state's ability to protect its port.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on 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.
