H. Res. 790

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                      October 28, 2009.
Whereas hundreds of thousands of men and women have served this Nation in 
        building its nuclear defense since World War II;
Whereas these dedicated American workers paid a high price for their service and 
        have developed disabling or fatal illnesses as a result of exposure to 
        beryllium, ionizing radiation, toxic substances, and other hazards that 
        are unique to the production and testing of nuclear weapons;
Whereas these workers were put at individual risk without their knowledge and 
        consent in order to develop a nuclear weapons program;
Whereas these patriotic men and women deserve to be recognized for their 
        contribution, service, and sacrifice towards the defense of our great 
        Nation; and
Whereas, on May 20, 2009, the Senate passed S. Res. 151, designating a national 
        day of remembrance on October 30, 2009, for nuclear weapons program 
        workers: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of a national day of remembrance 
        for American nuclear weapons program workers and uranium miners, 
        millers, and haulers; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to support and 
        participate in appropriate ceremonies, programs, and other activities to 
        recognize a national day of remembrance for past and present workers in 
        America's nuclear weapons program.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
