                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the American Society of Civil Engineers for reaching its 
    150th Anniversary and for the many vital contributions of civil 
 engineers to the quality of life of our Nation's people including the 
    research and development projects that have led to the physical 
                   infrastructure of modern America.

Whereas, founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers is the 
        Nation's oldest national engineering society;
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
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) acknowledges the American Society of Civil Engineers 
        for its 150th Anniversary;
            (2) commends the many achievements of the Nation's civil 
        engineers; and
            (3) encourages the American Society of Civil Engineers to 
        continue its tradition of excellence in service to the 
        profession of civil engineering and to the public.
