       Whereas Congress enacted the Outdoor Recreation Jobs and 
     Economic Impact Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-249; 130 Stat.

     the United States and the effects attributable to the outdoor 
     recreation economy on the overall economy of the United 
     States;
       Whereas regular outdoor recreation is associated with 
     positive health outcomes and better quality of life;
       Whereas outdoor recreation is part of the national heritage 
     of the United States; and

     ``Great Outdoors Month'' to provide an opportunity to 
     celebrate the importance of the great outdoors: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--

       (2) encourages all people of the United States to recreate 
     in the great outdoors in June 2017 and year-round.
