Expressing support for designation of December 3, 2015, as the ‘‘National 
Day of 3D Printing’’. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
DECEMBER 2, 2015 
Mr. FOSTER (for himself, Mr. TAKANO, Mr. CA´RDENAS, Mr. RYAN of Ohio, 
Mr. STIVERS, Mr. MULVANEY, Mr. RUSH, Mr. HONDA, and Mr. LAN-
GEVIN) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for designation of December 3, 2015, 
as the ‘‘National Day of 3D Printing’’. 
Whereas additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, 
is a process by which digital 3D design data is used to 
build up a component in layers by depositing material; 
Whereas 3D printing creates an object layer by layer, greatly 
reducing waste and increasing efficiency compared to tra-
ditional manufacturing techniques; 
Whereas 3D printing has grown exponentially over the last 
several years; 
Whereas the United States is a world leader in advanced 
manufacturing, and has a history of design innovation;

Whereas public-private partnerships that promote advanced 
manufacturing, such as the Digital Manufacturing and 
Design Innovation Institute and other Manufacturing In-
novation Institutes, will develop enhanced digital capabili-
ties to design and test new products and reduce costs in 
manufacturing processes across a variety of industries; 
Whereas 3D printing has widespread applications in home 
construction, home goods production, biotechnology, the 
automotive sector, aerospace, medicine, consumer elec-
tronics, and defense; 
Whereas 3D printing has the potential to reshape manufac-
turing in the United States, by decreasing the cost of 
producing goods for small businesses and local manufac-
turers; 
Whereas innovation will be increased, as 3D printing reduces 
the time required for product development and market 
launch; and 
Whereas, December 3, 2015, would be an appropriate date to 
designate as the ‘‘National Day of 3D Printing’’: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of the ‘‘National 
Day of 3D Printing’’; 
(2) recognizes the economic impact of 3D print-
ing and the positive implications of 3D printing for 
the United States advanced manufacturing sector;

Expressing support for designation of February 12, 2016,

science in the betterment of humanity. 
Whereas Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by the mecha-

amount of scientific evidence he compiled to support it, 
provides humanity with a logical and intellectually com-
pelling explanation for the diversity of life on Earth; 
Whereas the validity of Darwin’s theory of evolution by nat-
ural selection is further strongly supported by the mod-

coveries that have helped humanity solve many problems 
and improve living conditions; 
Whereas the advancement of science must be protected from 
those unconcerned with the adverse impacts of global 
warming and climate change; 
Whereas the teaching of creationism in some public schools 
compromises the scientific and academic integrity of the 
United States education systems; 
Whereas Charles Darwin is a worthy symbol of scientific ad-
vancement on which to focus and around which to build 
a global celebration of science and humanity intended to 
promote a common bond among all of Earth’s peoples; 
and 
Whereas February 12, 2016, is the anniversary of the birth 
of Charles Darwin in 1809 and would be an appropriate 
date to designate as ‘‘Darwin Day’’: Now, therefore, be

Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Darwin Day’’; 
and 
(2) recognizes Charles Darwin as a worthy sym-

Whereas on January 5, 2015, the United States Postal Serv-

Whereas delayed mail negatively impacts businesses, hurts
