                               RESOLUTION

 
   Expressing support for the designation of July 10th as Journeyman 
                      Lineworkers Recognition Day.

Whereas journeyman lineworkers provide a vital service on a daily basis;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers put their lives on the line every day to assure 
        safe and reliable power for the American people;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers work at heights and in close proximity to 
        energized electric lines;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers continue to provide valuable and heroic services 
        during major national and regional disasters such as hurricanes, 
        wildfires, tornadoes, and pandemics, along with working extremely long 
        hours under dangerous conditions to restore power;
Whereas Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International 
        Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was killed on July 10, 1896, at just 
        38 years old;
Whereas Henry Miller died of injuries sustained while troubleshooting an 
        electrical outage; and
Whereas there should be a day to honor those industry first responders who have 
        given their lives in the line of duty along with those who provide 
        skillful service in times of local or national crisis: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of Journeyman Lineworkers 
        Recognition Day;
            (2) honors and recognizes the contributions of the 
        countless individuals who often place themselves in harm's way 
        to serve their communities; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day with appropriate 
        reflection.
                                 <all>
