This resolution calls on Congress to affirm that the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth Harbor are entirely within the jurisdiction of New Hampshire. It emphasizes that the state holds complete dominion over the tidal waters and submerged lands of the river and harbor, which are vital to the state's interests. The resolution highlights the need for adequate protection and management of these waters to ensure public trust and use, especially since the U.S. Supreme Court declined to resolve boundary disputes in the area.

Additionally, the resolution requests that the New Hampshire congressional delegation introduce legislation to clearly establish the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine in the inner Piscataqua River. It also seeks to confirm 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, with the possibility of additional correspondence from the Speaker of the House.
