                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

    Whereas, founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers 
            is the Nation's oldest national engineering society;
    Whereas civil engineers work to constantly improve buildings, water 
            systems, and other civil engineering works through 
            research, demonstration projects, and the technical codes 
            and standards developed by the American Society of Civil 
            Engineers;
    Whereas the American Society of Civil Engineers incorporates 
            educational, scientific, and charitable efforts to advance 
            the science of engineering, improve engineering education, 
            maintain the highest standards of excellence in the 
            practice of civil engineering, and ensure the public 
            health, safety, and welfare;
    Whereas the American Society of Civil Engineers represents the 
            profession primarily responsible for the design, 
            construction, and maintenance of the Nation's roads, 
            bridges, airports, railroads, public buildings, mass 
            transit systems, resource recovery systems, water systems, 
            waste disposal and treatment facilities, dams, ports and 
            waterways and other public facilities that are the 
            foundation on which the Nation's economy stands and grows; 
            and
    Whereas the Nation's civil engineers, through innovation and the 
            highest professional standards in the practice of civil 
            engineering, protect the public health and safety and 
            ensure the high quality of life enjoyed by the Nation's 
            citizens: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) acknowledges the American Society of Civil Engineers 
        for its 150th Anniversary;
            (2) commends the many achievements of the Nation's civil 
        engineers; and
            (3) encourages the American Society of Civil Engineers to 
        continue its tradition of excellence in service to the 
        profession of civil engineering and to the public.

            Passed the House of Representatives May 14, 2002.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
