A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
| To memorialize the United States Postal Service to
issue a commemorative United States postage stamp
honoring America's coal miners.
|
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
1800. Until the time of World War I, coal mining in the state was
conducted almost exclusively underground and largely by manual
labor; and |
|
WHEREAS, Over 86% of the electricity generated in Ohio is
coal-derived. Our entire nation relies on coal to support its
energy needs;
and |
| WHEREAS, Our nation owes coal miners a great deal more than
can ever be repaid for the difficult and dangerous job that they
perform so that our nation can have the fuel it needs to operate
industries and to heat homes;
and |
| WHEREAS, It would be proper and fitting for our nation to
recognize coal miners, both past and present, for their
contributions to this nation and for their tremendous sacrifices;
now therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, in
adopting this resolution, memorializes the United States Postal
Service to issue a postage stamp honoring America's coal miners,
recognizing the dangerous job that they perform and the
significance of their contributions to the growth and development
of this nation, and illustrating the rich history of this country
for the benefit of schoolchildren, stamp collectors, educators,
and the public; and be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the
United States Postal Service, to the United States Postmaster
General, to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the United
States Postal Service, to the Speaker and Clerk of the United
States House of Representatives, to the President Pro Tempore and
Secretary of the United States Senate, to the members of the Ohio
Congressional delegation, and to the news media of Ohio. |
