                               RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing the remarkable contributions of the American Council of 
 Engineering Companies for its 100 years of service to the engineering 
                        industry and the Nation.

Whereas the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) and its thousands 
        of member firms are celebrating the Council's 100th anniversary in 2009;
Whereas the ACEC is the oldest and largest business association of America's 
        engineering industry, representing more than 5,000 engineering firms 
        that employ 500,000 professionals, engaged in a wide range of practices 
        that propel our economy and ensure a high quality of life for all people 
        in the United States;
Whereas the ACEC represents engineers in private practice, who design the 
        infrastructure, energy, and technological projects that ensure our 
        Nation enjoys the highest standard of living in the world and continues 
        to compete successfully in the 21st century economy;
Whereas the ACEC member firms have been responsible for many of the Nation's 
        most significant achievements over the past 100 years, including the 
        roads, bridges, subways, airports, buildings, industrial facilities, and 
        water systems that are the most advanced in the world; and
Whereas the ACEC member firms have also been at the forefront of the 
        environmental movement, cleaning up hazardous waste sites and 
        incorporating sustainable solutions in infrastructure works: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates the 
American Council of Engineering Companies for its 100 years of service.
                                 <all>
