Recognizing the American Society of Civil Engineers on the occasion of 
     the 150th anniversary of its founding and for the many vital 
 contributions of civil engineers to the quality of life of the people 
 of the United States, 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 oldest 
        national engineering society in the United States;
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 
        protect 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 roads, bridges, airports, railroads, public buildings, mass transit 
        systems, resource recovery systems, water systems, waste disposal and 
        treatment facilities, dams, ports, waterways, and other public 
        facilities that are the foundation on which the economy of the United 
        States stands and grows; and
Whereas the civil engineers of the United States, 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 people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes the American Society of Civil Engineers on 
        the occasion of the 150th anniversary of its founding;
            (2) commends the many achievements of the civil engineers 
        of the United States; 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.
