RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of Journeyman
Lineman Recognition Day.
Whereas journeyman linemen provide a vital service on a
daily basis;
Whereas journeyman linemen put their lives on the line every
day to assure safe and reliable power for the American
people;
Whereas journeyman linemen work at heights and in close
proximity to energized electric lines, and in emergencies
they often work extremely long hours under sometimes
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 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
(1) supports the designation of Journeyman
2
Lineman Recognition Day;
3
(2) honors and recognizes the contributions of
4
the countless individuals who often place themselves
5
in harm’s way to serve their communities; and
