PRO-

U.S.C. 15855) is amended to read as follows: 
‘‘SEC. 210. BIOMASS UTILIZATION PILOT PROGRAM. 
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
‘‘(1) The supply of woody biomass for energy 
production is directly linked to forest management 
planning to a degree far greater than in the case of 
other types of energy development. 
‘‘(2) As a consequence of this linkage, the proc-
ess of developing and evaluating appropriate tech-
nologies and facilities for woody biomass energy and 
utilization must be integrated with long-term forest 
management planning processes, particularly in situ-
ations where Federal lands dominate the forested 
landscape. 
‘‘(b) BIOMASS DEFINITION FOR FEDERAL FOREST 
LANDS.—In this section, with respect to organic material 
removed from National Forest System lands or from pub-
lic lands administered by the Secretary of the Interior, the 
term ‘biomass’ covers only organic material from—

‘‘(c) PILOT PROGRAM.—The Secretary of Agriculture 
and the Secretary of the Interior shall establish a pilot 
program, to be known as the ‘Biomass Utilization Pilot 
Program’, involving 10 different forest types on Federal 
lands, under which the Secretary concerned will provide 
technical assistance and grants to persons to support the 
following biomass-related activities: 
‘‘(1) The development of biomass utilization in-
frastructure to support hazardous fuel reduction and 
ecological forest restoration. 
‘‘(2) The research and implementation of inte-
grated facilities that seek to utilize woody biomass 
for its highest and best uses, with particular empha-
sis on projects that are linked to implementing com-

Celtics responded by clinching a record 17th NBA cham-
pionship in Game 6 on June 17, 2008, winning on the 
team’s home court in Boston on the storied parquet floor 
now graced with Red Auerbach’s signature by a score of 
131–92, a 39-point margin that is the largest gap ever 
for an NBA finals closeout game; 
Whereas the Celtics’ revival from a last place finish in the 
Eastern Conference’s Atlantic Division last season to a 
record 17th NBA Championship this season is the great-
est single-season turnaround in NBA history; 
Whereas in addition to the contributions of superstars Gar-
nett, Allen, and Pierce, the strong, sustained efforts of 
the entire Celtics team, including Kendrick Perkins and 
a bench of tenacious and talented players such as Eddie 
House, James Posey, P.J. Brown, Sam Cassell, Tony 
Allen, Glen Davis, and Brian Scalabrine enabled the Celt-
ics to return to the glory that has marked much of the 
franchise’s history; 
Whereas Celtics owners Wyc Grousbeck, Steve Pagliuca, H. 
Irving Grousbeck, and Bob Epstein, along with Executive 
Director of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge, Head 
Coach Doc Rivers, and the entire Celtics roster and 
coaching staff have earned a special place in Boston 
sports history; and 
Whereas the Celtics have joined with the Boston Red Sox and 
New England Patriots to transform Boston from 
‘‘Beantown’’ to ‘‘Titletown’’, as the 3 teams have won a 
combined 6 championships in 6 years: Now, therefore, be 
it

H. CON. RES. 378 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas the Wyoming Territorial Legislature passed, and 
Governor John A. Campbell signed into law on December 
10, 1869, a measure stating, ‘‘That every woman of the 
age of twenty-one years, residing in this territory, may, 
at every election, to be holden under the law thereof, cast 
her vote.’’;
•HCON 378 EH 
Whereas this Suffrage Act granted women in the Wyoming 
Territory the right to vote with full civil and judicial 
equality to men; 
Whereas Louisa Swain, on September 6, 1870, became the 
Nation’s first woman voter under laws guaranteeing ab-
solute political equality to women; 
Whereas she cast that vote as a 70 year-old woman in the 
town of Laramie’s municipal election; 
Whereas, the Laramie Daily Sentinel wrote, ‘‘It is comforting 
to note that our first woman voter was really a lady . . . 
of the highest social standing in the community, univer-
sally beloved and respected. The scene was in the highest 
degree interesting and impressive. There was too much 
good sense in our community for any jeers or sneers to 
be seen on such an occasion’’; 
Whereas this vote was inspirational to the women’s suffrage 
movement and to the cause of civil rights; 
Whereas, Wyoming’s statehood, in 1890, brought the codi-
fication of this suffrage right through the ratification of 
the new Wyoming State constitution under Article 6, sec-
tion 1; 
Whereas, when the Congress threatened to withhold state-
hood from Wyoming, territory legislators replied with a 
telegram stating that Wyoming would remain out of the 
Union 100 years rather than join without women’s suf-
frage; 
Whereas President Benjamin Harrison, on July 10, 1890, 
signed into law a bill admitting Wyoming into the Union, 
and recognizing it as the Nation’s ‘‘Equality State’’;
•HCON 378 EH 
Whereas these actions instigated a path to the passage of the 
19th Amendment to the United States Constitution 50 
years after Louisa Swain’s historical first vote; and 
Whereas September 6, 2008, would be an appropriate date to 
designate as Louisa Swain Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress supports the designation of a 
Louisa Swain Day.
