                               RESOLUTION


 
    Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the National Association of 
                         Chemical Distributors.

Whereas the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) is celebrating 
        its 50th anniversary and in recognition of the association's successful 
        commitment to placing the highest priority on the health, safety, and 
        security of its members, their employees, communities, and the 
        environment, they are deserving of special public commendation;
Whereas, widely recognized as the premier authority for chemical distribution in 
        the United States since 1971, NACD is an international association of 
        chemical distributors and their supply-chain partners whose mission is 
        to enhance and communicate the professionalism and stewardship of the 
        chemical distribution industry;
Whereas the chemical distribution industry has made major economic contributions 
        to the Nation, employing over 80,000 people at an average annual wage of 
        $83,700, while delivering valuable products to every industry and sector 
        of the national economy;
Whereas NACD has grown to nearly 400-member companies composed of businesses, 
        small and large, which represents more than 85 percent of the chemical 
        distribution capacity in the Nation and 90 percent of the industry's 
        gross revenue;
Whereas NACD serves as the leading voice of the chemical distribution industry 
        and works to promote informed legislation and policies for the 
        betterment of industry and innovation; and
Whereas the Chemical Educational Foundation, originally founded in 1989, as the 
        NACD Educational Foundation, creates strong, sustainable relationships 
        between schools, communities, and industry partners by providing 
        resources to close the STEM employment gap and improve United States 
        global performance in mathematics and science starting with early 
        science education: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the National Association of Chemical Distributors 
be--
            (1) congratulated upon the occasion of the fiftieth 
        anniversary of its inception;
            (2) commended for its commitment to economic growth, 
        education, safety, and ensuring the safety of chemical handling 
        and distribution; and
            (3) extended best wishes for continued success in the 
        future.
