•HRES 788 IH 
Whereas the percentage of historically underrepresented 
groups in the science and engineering workforce demo-
graphic is growing, strengthening the United States econ-
omy; and 
Whereas a ‘‘National Science Day’’ would provide an oppor-
tunity to recognize and celebrate American scientific 
achievements and inspire the next generation to continue 
this honorable and vital tradition: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the goals and ideals of ‘‘National Science Day’’.
