RESOLUTION

Recognizing the 10th anniversary of the first export shipment of 
liquefied natural gas produced in the lower 48 States.

Whereas, on February 24, 2016, the United States shipped its first export cargo 
of liquefied natural gas produced in the lower 48 States, when the Asia 
Vision left Cheniere's Sabine Pass Liquefaction facility in the Gulf of 
America destined for Brazil;
Whereas the first shipment marked a historic milestone in American energy 
production and global trade and demonstrated the technological 
innovation, workforce expertise, and private sector investment that 
enabled the United States to become a reliable supplier of liquefied 
natural gas to global markets;
Whereas, over the past decade, liquefied natural gas exports from the lower 48 
States have supported economic growth and enhanced the United States 
role as a global energy leader, strengthening the energy security of 
allies and partners;
Whereas the development of liquefied natural gas export capacity has supported 
an annual average of 273,000 American jobs across the energy value 
chain, including production, transportation, construction, engineering, 
and operations, and contributed more than $400,000,000,000 in economic 
growth;
Whereas, over the past decade, United States liquefied natural gas export 
terminals have shipped more than 8,500 cargoes to over 40 countries and 
regions around the world;
Whereas liquefied natural gas has helped to reduce emissions when replacing 
higher emitting fuels in electricity generation and industrial use;
Whereas the first export shipment of liquefied natural gas from the lower 48 
States represented a turning point in the Nation's energy history, 
reflecting decades of innovation, regulatory cooperation, and 
infrastructure development;
Whereas February 24, 2026, marks the 10th anniversary of this significant 
achievement in United States energy production and export capability; 
and
Whereas the United States is now the largest global exporter of liquefied 
natural gas, providing a reliable and affordable source of energy to 
friends and allies around the world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes and celebrates the 10th anniversary of the 
first export shipment of liquefied natural gas produced in the 
lower 48 States;
(2) honors the workers, innovators, and communities whose 
efforts made this milestone possible;
(3) acknowledges the role of liquefied natural gas exports 
in supporting United States economic growth, energy security, 
and international partnerships; and
(4) reaffirms the importance of continued innovation and 
leadership in the responsible development of American energy 
resources.
