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 has 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, as well as the state's right to these lands, which are held in trust for the people of New Hampshire.

Additionally, the resolution requests that the New Hampshire congressional delegation introduce legislation to clarify the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine in the inner Piscataqua River, asserting that Seavey Island and Badger Island are part of New Hampshire. It also seeks to designate the duty stations of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard personnel as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to the New Hampshire congressional delegation and the President of the United States.
