                         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 $36,000,000,000 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 Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress honors the invention of modern air conditioning by Dr. 
Willis H. Carrier on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.

            Passed the Senate July 19, 2002.
