                               RESOLUTION


 
           Recognizing May 29, 2017, as ``National 529 Day''.

Whereas the United States is committed to competing in the global economy and 
        providing all students with the education and skills that will enable 
        them to compete successfully;
Whereas it is in the best interest of our Nation's employers to ensure a well-
        educated workforce;
Whereas post-secondary education at colleges, graduate schools, vocational 
        schools and technical institutions is an investment in one's future 
        which opens doors to better jobs and higher earnings;
Whereas saving in advance for higher education can help Americans reach their 
        personal and professional goals and avoid student loan debt;
Whereas 529 savings plans allow families to dedicate funds towards their own 
        education or the education of a loved one in an account that will grow 
        tax free for future use toward qualified higher education expenses; and
Whereas National 529 Day is an opportunity for all Americans to learn about and 
        begin saving to achieve their higher education needs: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives hereby recognizes 
``National 529 Day'' and the opportunities that 529 savings plans 
provide American families to save for education.
                                 <all>
