                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for the designation of October 12, 2022, as 
                       ``National Loggers Day''.

Whereas the logging industry has served as an economic driver and cultural 
        tradition in the United States for centuries;
Whereas the logging industry creates rural jobs and provides revenue for local 
        and State governments and National Forests;
Whereas loggers provide renewable material for products used by people in the 
        United States every day;
Whereas loggers are the first link in the $300,000,000,000 domestic forest 
        products supply chain;
Whereas loggers are the means by which healthy forest management plans are 
        accomplished;
Whereas logging provides for healthy forests that maintain vital animal 
        habitats;
Whereas logging provides for healthy forests which--

    (1) protect watersheds;

    (2) sequester carbon;

    (3) provide public recreational opportunities; and

    (4) reduce loss of life and property from wildfires; and

Whereas logging provides for healthy forests through regeneration, including 
        planting 2,500,000,000 trees annually: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses support for the designation of ``National 
        Loggers Day''; and
            (2) encourages the President to officially designate 
        ``National Loggers Day''.
