                               RESOLUTION


 
              Recognizing ``National Public Works Week''.

Whereas public works professionals work around the clock to ensure communities' 
        vital infrastructure, facilities, and services deliver dependable, 
        sustainable, and resilient public health, high quality of life, and 
        well-being throughout 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 emergency responders are first to arrive and last to leave 
        a natural disaster area of incident scene;
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 strong 
        interest and understanding of, the importance of public works and public 
        works programs in their respective communities; and
Whereas the week of May 21 through May 27, 2023, marks the 63rd 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.
