Whereas, founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers is

Whereas civil engineers work to constantly improve buildings, water 
  systems, and other civil engineering works through research, 
  demonstration projects, and the technical codes and standards 
  developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers;

Whereas the American Society of Civil Engineers incorporates 
  educational, scientific, and charitable efforts to advance the 
  science of engineering, improve engineering education, maintain the 
  highest standards of excellence in the practice of civil engineering, 
  and ensure the public health, safety, and welfare;

Whereas the American Society of Civil Engineers represents the 
  profession primarily responsible for the design, construction, and 
  maintenance of the Nation's roads, bridges, airports, railroads, 
  public buildings, mass transit systems, resource recovery systems, 
  water systems, waste disposal and treatment facilities, dams, ports 
  and waterways and other public facilities that are the foundation on 
  which the Nation's economy stands and grows; and

Whereas the Nation's civil engineers, through innovation and the 
  highest professional standards in the practice of civil engineering, 
  protect the public health and safety and ensure the high quality of 
  life enjoyed by the Nation's citizens: Now, therefore, be it
