 RESOLUTION

 Expressing support for the designation of July 10th as Journeyman 
 Lineworkers Recognition Day.

Whereas journeyman lineworkers provide a vital service on a daily basis;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers put their lives on the line every day to assure 
 safe and reliable power for the American people;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers work at heights and in close proximity to 
 energized electric lines;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers continue to provide valuable and heroic services 
 during major national and regional disasters such as hurricanes, 
 wildfires, tornadoes, and pandemics, along with working extremely long 
 hours under dangerous conditions to restore power;
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 troubleshooting 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 Lineworkers 
 Recognition Day;

    (2) honors and recognizes the contributions of the 
 countless individuals who often place themselves in harm's way 
 to serve their communities; and

    (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
 Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day with appropriate 
 reflection.
