RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of a national day of remembrance for
United States nuclear weapons program workers and uranium miners,
millers, and haulers.
Whereas hundreds of thousands of men and women have served this Nation in
building its nuclear defense since World War II;
Whereas these dedicated United States workers paid a high price for their
service and have developed disabling or fatal illnesses as a result of
exposure to beryllium, ionizing radiation, toxic substances, and other
hazards that are unique to the production and testing of nuclear
weapons;
Whereas these workers were put at individual risk by the United States
Government without their knowledge and consent in order to develop a
nuclear weapons program;
Whereas these patriotic men and women deserve to be recognized for their
contribution, service, and sacrifice towards the defense of this great
Nation; and
Whereas, on May 20, 2009, the Senate passed S. Res. 151, designating a national
day of remembrance on October 30, 2009, for nuclear weapons program
workers: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of a national day of
remembrance for United States nuclear weapons program workers
and uranium miners, millers, and haulers; and
(2) encourages the people of the United States, regardless
of their opinions about the historical development of nuclear
weapons, to support and participate in appropriate ceremonies,
programs, and other activities to recognize a national day of
remembrance for past and present workers in America's nuclear
weapons program.
