 Recognizing the American Road and Transportation Builders Association 
for reaching its 100th Anniversary and for the many vital contributions 
   of its members in the transportation construction industry to the 
     American economy and quality of life through the multi-modal 
transportation infrastructure network its members have designed, built, 
                   and managed over the past century.

Whereas, founded in 1902 by Horatio Sawyer Earle, a visionary Michigan public 
        official, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association is 
        the Nation's oldest national association exclusively representing the 
        transportation construction industry;
Whereas, for a century, the American Road and Transportation Builders 
        Association has successfully advocated for strong Federal investment in 
        transportation infrastructure, highlighted by the world's greatest road 
        network, the Dwight David Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense 
        Highways;
Whereas the transportation construction industry that the American Road and 
        Transportation Builders Association represents works to constantly 
        improve America's transportation network, including our Nation's roads, 
        bridges, airports, mass transit systems, ports, and waterways that are 
        the foundation on which the Nation's economy stands and grows;
Whereas the American Road and Transportation Builders Association incorporates 
        educational, research, and charitable efforts to advance the 
        transportation construction industry, improve transportation education, 
        maintain the highest industry standards of excellence, and ensure the 
        public health, safety, and welfare; and
Whereas the multi-modal transportation infrastructure network that American Road 
        and Transportation Association members have designed, built, and managed 
        over the past century, in partnership with government at all levels, has 
        made America's economy the envy of the world and provided the American 
        people with an unmatched quality of life: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) acknowledges the American Road and Transportation 
        Builders Association for its 100th Anniversary;
            (2) commends the many achievements of the transportation 
        construction industry; and
            (3) encourages the American Road and Transportation 
        Builders Association to continue its tradition of excellence in 
        service to the transportation construction industry and to the 
        public.
