                               RESOLUTION


 
              Recognizing ``National Public Works Week''.

Whereas public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities, and 
        services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient 
        communities and to the public health, high quality of life, and well-
        being of the United States of America;
Whereas such infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be provided 
        without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, who are 
        engineers, managers, and employees of Federal, State, and local 
        government and the private sector, and who are responsible for 
        rebuilding, improving, and protecting our Nation's transportation, water 
        supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings, and 
        other structures and facilities essential for our citizens;
Whereas public works professionals have continued to provide these essential 
        services during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, placing themselves at 
        increased risk of infection;
Whereas it is in the public interest for citizens, civic leaders, and children 
        of the United States to gain knowledge of, and to maintain a progressive 
        interest and understanding of, the importance of public works and public 
        works programs in their respective communities; and
Whereas the week of May 17 through May 23, 2020, marks the 60th annual 
        ``National Public Works Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports ``National 
Public Works Week'' and encourages the people of the United States to 
pay tribute to our public works professionals, engineers, managers, and 
employees and to recognize the substantial contributions they make to 
protecting our national health, safety, and quality of life.
