                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas on July 17, 1902, Dr. Willis H. Carrier submitted designs to a 
  printing plant in Brooklyn, New York, for equipment to control 
  temperature, humidity, ventilation, and air quality, marking the 
  birth of modern air conditioning;

Whereas air-conditioning has become an integral technology enabling the 
  advancement of society through improvements to the Nation's health 
  and well-being, manufacturing processes, building capacities, 
  research, medical capabilities, food preservation, art and historical 
  conservation, and general productivity and indoor comfort;

Whereas Dr. Carrier debuted air-conditioning technology for legislative 
  activity in the House of Representatives Chamber in 1928, and the 
  Senate Chamber in 1929;

Whereas the air-conditioning industry now totals $36 billion on a 
  global basis and employs more than 700,000 people in the United 
  States; and

Whereas the year 2002 marks the 100th anniversary of modern air-
  conditioning: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress honors the invention of modern air-conditioning by 
Dr. Willis H. Carrier on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
