Whereas the people of North Carolina experienced a dev-
astating tragedy when a massive explosion occurred at 
the ConAgra Foods plant in Garner, North Carolina, 
shortly before 11:30 a.m. on June 9, 2009; 
Whereas the 500,000-square-foot plant, one of the largest 
owned by ConAgra Foods, employs 900 people, 300 of 
whom were on site when the blast occurred; 
Whereas three workers lost their lives when the explosion 
ripped through the plant; 
Whereas employee Louis Junior Watson re-entered the build-
ing to help a coworker escape and both employees died 
when the structure caved in; 
Whereas at least 40 employees were injured, some suffering 
from exposure to toxic ammonia fumes and at least four 
with critical burns; 
Whereas three brave firefighters were treated for inhalation; 
Whereas North Carolina’s first responders, fire, police, and 
EMS, were quick to the scene and prevented any further 
loss of life or injury, and private citizens risked their 
well-being to come to the aid of their friends and neigh-
bors;
•HRES 540 EH 
Whereas the Garner Police and Fire Departments have co-
operated with North Carolina Task Force 8 Urban 
Search and Rescue to search and secure the building and 
its periphery; 
Whereas agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fire-
arms and Explosives, the Wake County Fire Marshal, in-
spectors from the North Carolina Department of Labor, 
and agents with the United States Chemical Safety 
Board have combined efforts to investigate the cause of 
the explosion; 
Whereas the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
has inspected the site of the explosion to ensure no con-
tamination spreads from the plant; 
Whereas the above mentioned agencies will continue to work 
together with private citizens to investigate the accident, 
provide assistance to families of the victims, and ensure 
public health and safety in this disaster’s aftermath; and 
Whereas ConAgra has established the ConAgra Foods Garner 
Plant Fund in memory of those lost in this tragedy, has 
set up assistance and relief services for the families of 
the victims, and is helping support surviving workers: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

H. Res. 546 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 22, 2010. 
Whereas news of the end of slavery did not reach frontier 
areas of the United States, and in particular the South-
western States, for more than 2 years after President 
Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 
1863, and months after the conclusion of the Civil War; 
Whereas, on June 19, 1865, Union soldiers led by Major 
General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, 
with news that the Civil War had ended and that the 
enslaved were free; 
Whereas African-Americans who had been slaves in the 
Southwest celebrated June 19, commonly known as 
Juneteenth Independence Day, as the anniversary of 
their emancipation; 
Whereas African-Americans from the Southwest continue the 
tradition of Juneteenth Independence Day as inspiration 
and encouragement for future generations; 
Whereas for more than 135 years, Juneteenth Independence 
Day celebrations have been held to honor African-Amer-
ican freedom while encouraging self-development and re-
spect for all cultures; 
Whereas although Juneteenth Independence Day is beginning 
to be recognized as a national, and even global, event, the
•HRES 546 EH 
history behind the celebration should not be forgotten; 
and 
Whereas the faith and strength of character demonstrated by 
former slaves remains an example for all people of the 
United States, regardless of background, religion, or 
race: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives recognizes the his-
torical significance of Juneteenth Independence Day to 
the Nation; 
(2) the House of Representatives supports the con-
tinued celebration of Juneteenth Independence Day to 
provide an opportunity for the people of the United 
States to learn more about the past and to better under-
stand the experiences that have shaped the Nation; and 
(3) it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that— 
(A) history should be regarded as a means for 
understanding the past and more effectively facing 
the challenges of the future; and
•HRES 546 EH 
(B) the celebration of the end of slavery is an 
important and enriching part of the history and 
heritage of the United States.
