Whereas Henry Miller, the first elected president of the 
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was 
killed on July 10, 1896, at just 38 years old; 
Whereas Henry Miller died of injuries sustained while trou-
bleshooting an electrical outage; and 
Whereas there should be a day to honor those industry first 
responders who have given their lives in the line of duty 
along with those who provide skillful service in times of 
local or national crisis: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of Journeyman 
Lineman Recognition Day;

the countless individuals who often place themselves 
in harm’s way to serve their communities; and
