RESOLUTION

Recognizing linemen, the profession of linemen, the contributions of 
these brave men and women who protect public safety, and expressing 
support for the designation of April 18, 2026, as ``National Lineman 
Appreciation Day''.

Whereas the profession of linemen is steeped in personal, family, and 
professional tradition;
Whereas linemen are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic 
events, working to make the scene safe for other public safety heroes;
Whereas linemen must work high atop powerlines 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 
to keep electricity flowing;
Whereas linemen play a vital role in the Nation's economy by maintaining and 
growing the energy infrastructure of the United States;
Whereas linemen must often work under dangerous conditions separated from their 
families to keep schools and businesses open;
Whereas linemen deserve recognition from the community regarding the danger of 
their work; and
Whereas, April 18, 2026, would be an appropriate date to designate as ``National 
Lineman Appreciation Day'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes the efforts of linemen in keeping the power 
on and protecting public safety;
(2) supports the designation of ``National Lineman 
Appreciation Day''; and
(3) recognizes linemen as first responders.
