H. CON. RES. 67
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas the bombing of Pearl Harbor necessitated con-
structing an overland route between Alaska and the lower
48 States for military purposes;
Whereas on February 11, 1942, President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt authorized the construction of the Alaska-Can-
ada Highway (also known as the ‘‘Alcan Highway’’);
•HCON 67 EH
Whereas construction of the Alcan Highway, a 1,522-mile
long road from Dawson Creek, Canada, to Fairbanks,
Alaska, was an engineering feat of enormous challenge;
Whereas the Alcan Highway was constructed by approxi-
mately 10,000 United States troops through rugged,
unmapped wilderness and extreme temperatures, ranging
from 80-degrees-below to 90-degrees-above zero;
Whereas the Corps of Engineers units assigned to construct
the Alcan Highway were segregated by race;
Whereas the 93rd, 95th, and 97th Regiments and 388th Bat-
talion of the Corps of Engineers, part of a group known
as the ‘‘Black Corps of Engineers’’, were African Amer-
ican units assigned to the Alcan Highway project, and
these units comprised one-third of the total engineering
workforce on the project;
Whereas despite severe discriminatory policies, and abomi-
nable living and social conditions, the soldiers of the
Black Corps of Engineers performed notably and unself-
ishly on the project;
Whereas on November 20, 1942, the Alcan Highway was
completed in an astonishing 8 months and 12 days, be-
coming one of the Nation’s greatest public works projects
in the 20th century;
Whereas the Alcan Highway became the only land route that
strategically linked the northern territory to the remain-
der of the continental United States and facilitated the
construction of airstrips for refueling planes and vital
supply routes during World War II;
Whereas although considerable praise was bestowed upon sol-
diers for exemplary work in constructing the Alcan High-

way, the soldiers of the Black Corps of Engineers were
seldom recognized; and
Whereas despite enduring indignities and double standards,
the soldiers of the Black Corps of Engineers contributed
unselfishly to the western defense in World War II and
these contributions helped lead to the subsequent integra-
tion of the military: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress honors the soldiers of the
Army’s Black Corps of Engineers for their contributions
in constructing the Alaska-Canada highway during World
War II and recognizes the importance of these contribu-
tions to the subsequent integration of the military.
