A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
| To memorialize the United States Postal Service to | 1 |
|
issue a commemorative United States postage stamp | 2 |
|
honoring America's coal miners. | 3 |
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, Ohio has a rich coal mining history dating back to | 4 |
|
1800. Until the time of World War I, coal mining in the state was | 5 |
|
conducted almost exclusively underground and largely by manual | 6 |
|
labor; and | 7 |
|
WHEREAS, Over 86% of the electricity generated in Ohio is | 8 |
|
coal-derived. Our entire nation relies on coal to support its | 9 |
|
energy needs;
and | 10 |
| WHEREAS, Our nation owes coal miners a great deal more than | 11 |
|
can ever be repaid for the difficult and dangerous job that they | 12 |
|
perform so that our nation can have the fuel it needs to operate | 13 |
|
industries and to heat homes;
and | 14 |
| WHEREAS, It would be proper and fitting for our nation to | 15 |
|
recognize coal miners, both past and present, for their | 16 |
|
contributions to this nation and for their tremendous sacrifices; | 17 |
|
now therefore be it | 18 |
| RESOLVED, That the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, in | 19 |
|
adopting this resolution, memorializes the United States Postal | 20 |
|
Service to issue a postage stamp honoring America's coal miners, | 21 |
|
recognizing the dangerous job that they perform and the | 22 |
|
significance of their contributions to the growth and development | 23 |
|
of this nation, and illustrating the rich history of this country | 24 |
|
for the benefit of schoolchildren, stamp collectors, educators, | 25 |
|
and the public; and be it further | 26 |
|
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives | 27 |
|
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the | 28 |
|
United States Postal Service, to the United States Postmaster | 29 |
|
General, to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the United | 30 |
|
States Postal Service, to the Speaker and Clerk of the United | 31 |
|
States House of Representatives, to the President Pro Tempore and | 32 |
|
Secretary of the United States Senate, to the members of the Ohio | 33 |
|
Congressional delegation, and to the news media of Ohio. | 34 |
