 RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of July 10, 2025, as Journeyman 
 Lineworkers Recognition Day.

Whereas the United States relies on safe, reliable, affordable, and clean 
 electricity to power its economy, as well as homes, businesses, 
 industries and manufacturers, colleges and universities, schools, 
 hospitals, cities, and communities, and so much more;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers play a critical role in keeping the United States 
 energy grid running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers perform heroic services during national and 
 regional disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and ice 
 storms, and also work in tough terrain, extreme heat, and cold areas of 
 the country;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers consistently work long hours often under 
 dangerous conditions to restore power;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers put their lives on the line every day to ensure 
 the delivery of safe and reliable power to the United States, and its 
 territories;
Whereas July 10, 2025, marks the 129th anniversary of the death of Henry Miller, 
 the first president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical 
 Workers, who was killed in the line of duty while trying to restore 
 electricity during an outage in Washington, DC; and
Whereas there should be a day to honor the hundreds of thousands of men and 
 women who have also put their lives on the line over the past 129 years 
 to provide skillful service in times of local or national crisis: Now, 
 therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Senate--

    (1) supports the designation of July 10, 2025, as 
 Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day;

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

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