A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
| To urge the 111th Congress of the United States to
enact H.R. 229, which provides for the retention
of the name of Mount McKinley.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, President William McKinley, a native of Ohio, was
the state's governor and represented Ohio in Congress prior to
serving as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 to
1901. Those years were a time of great change and transition for
the United States, and, during his administration, the country
began to emerge as a world power; and |
| WHEREAS, Mount McKinley, named after the President in 1897,
is part of the 600-mile-long Yukon Range and the Alaska sub-range.
At 20,320 feet, Mount McKinley is North America's highest peak;
and |
|
WHEREAS, The name Mount McKinley has a special cultural and
historical significance not just for the State of Ohio, but for
the United States. However, since 1980, there has been a
movement
to rename Mount McKinley "Mount Denali"; and |
| WHEREAS, It is extremely important that the mountain's name
should be retained not only to honor the life and service of its
namesake, but also to preserve the significance and grandeur of
this majestic national landmark and natural wonder; now therefore
be it |
|
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 128th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, urge the Congress of the United States to
enact H.R. 229, which provides for the retention of the name of
Mount McKinley; and be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the
Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of Representatives,
the President Pro Tempore and Secretary of the United States
Senate, the members of the Ohio Congressional delegation, and the
news media of Ohio. |
