Mr. DEAL of Georgia submitted the following resolution; which was referred

RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals of National Marina Day and urging 
marinas to continue providing environmentally friendly 
gateways to boating. 
Whereas the people of the United States highly value their 
recreational time and their ability to access the water-
ways of the United States, one of the Nation’s greatest 
natural resources; 
Whereas in 1928, the National Association of Engine and 
Boat Manufacturers first used the word ‘‘marina’’ to de-
scribe a recreational boating facility; 
Whereas the United States is home to more than 12,000 ma-
rinas that contribute substantially to local communities 
by providing safe and reliable gateways to boating;
•HRES 647 IH 
Whereas the marinas of the United States serve as stewards 
of the environment and actively seek to protect the water-
ways that surround them for the enjoyment of this gen-
eration and generations to come; 
Whereas the marinas of the United States provide commu-
nities and visitors with a place where friends and fami-
lies, united by a passion for the water, can come together 
for recreation, rest, and relaxation; and 
Whereas the Marina Operators Association of America has 
designated August 14, 2004 as ‘‘National Marina Day’’ 
to increase awareness among citizens, policymakers, and 
elected officials about the many contributions that mari-
nas make to communities: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals of National Marina Day; 
and
