RESOLUTION 

Expressing support for the designation of Journeyman 

Lineman Recognition Day. 

Whereas journeyman linemen provide a vital service on a 

daily basis; 

Whereas journeyman linemen put their lives on the line every 

day to assure safe and reliable power for the American 

people; 

Whereas journeyman linemen work at heights and in close 

proximity to energized electric lines, and in emergencies 

they often work extremely long hours under sometimes 

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 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) supports the designation of Journeyman 

3 Lineman Recognition Day; 

4 (2) honors and recognizes the contributions of 

5 the countless individuals who often place themselves 

6 in harm’s way to serve their communities; and
