Whereas FFA prepares members to be globally conscious citi-
zens of their community, their State, their country, and 
the world; 
Whereas FFA provides opportunities to demonstrate literacy, 
advocacy, and technical skills in agriculture, food, and 
natural resources; 
Whereas the blue jacket’s origin dates to 1933 in Frederick-

vention and were so popular, the convention’s official del-
egates made them part of the official FFA attire; 
Whereas 17,000 blue FFA jackets have been given to FFA 
members in need since 2014; and 
Whereas members of the FFA will celebrate ‘‘National FFA

ruary 24, 2024: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National FFA

tional FFA Organization in developing the next gen-
eration of globally conscious leaders who will change
