_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION

 
    Honoring the centennial of the Aerospace Industries Association.

Whereas 100 years ago, in 1919, the Aerospace Industries Association was 
        incorporated as the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America (ACCA) 
        in the State of New York, later adopting its current name in 1959;
Whereas, for more than 100 years, the aerospace industry has moved, connected, 
        secured, and inspired the modern world with countless innovations and 
        technologies that play a role in almost every aspect of daily life;
Whereas the centennial of the Aerospace Industries Association celebrates the 
        world-changing impact aerospace technologies have had and the role of 
        aerospace technologies in strengthening the economy and national 
        security of the United States;
Whereas the aerospace industry supports the National Defense Strategy of the 
        United States by providing the Armed Forces the most technologically 
        advanced and effective platforms and systems in the world;
Whereas the aerospace industry is a leading employer of veterans and retirees of 
        the Armed Forces and recognizes the incredible contribution those 
        veterans and retirees have made to the United States through their 
        service;
Whereas the aerospace industry has contributed to the advancement of humankind 
        as a key facilitator and collaborator in space, from the Apollo 11 
        mission to the future mission of the United States to Mars;
Whereas innovations in aerospace technologies continue to spur economic growth, 
        as the aerospace industry maintains a presence in all 50 States and 
        sustains approximately 2,500,000 jobs in the United States; and
Whereas the aerospace industry strives to inspire young people in the United 
        States, including women and underrepresented communities, to study 
        science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and pursue science-
        related careers that lead to future innovations and major scientific 
        breakthroughs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) acknowledges 2019 as the centennial for the Aerospace 
        Industries Association;
            (2) recognizes the need to promote the fields of science, 
        technology, engineering, and mathematics and encourages young 
        people in the United States to pursue careers in such fields; 
        and
            (3) commends the aerospace industry for continuing to 
        innovate and develop technologies that will shape the United 
        States for the next 100 years.
                                 <all>
