  Honoring the invention of modern air-conditioning by Dr. Willis H. 
           Carrier on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.

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.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 15, 2002.

            Attest:

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.
