,lamborn1 and ,mr4 ,mc,kinley7 submitted
 the following resolution2 which was    
referred to the ,committee on ,education
 and ,labor  ,,resolution  ,expressing  
support for designation of the week of  
,december #f1 #bjba1 through ,december  
#ab1 #bjba1 as ,national ,united ,states
 ,miners ,week4  ,whereas ,december #f  
was established by ,congress in #bjji to
 honor the hard work and commitment of  
miners in the ,united ,states2 ,whereas 
,america's mining men and women are     
foundational to modern economies and are
 necessary for a high quality of life   

for all citizens2 ,whereas the critical 
minerals and other raw materials        
harvested by ,american miners out of    
domestic mines produce more than #hb    
billion in raw materials annually2      
,whereas the critical minerals and other
 raw materials unearthed by miners are  
crucial to secure supply chains needed  
for steel1 roads1 houses1 cars1         
smartphones1 ventilators1 wind turbines1
 solar panels1 and everything else in   
our world that is not grown2 ,whereas   
,america's miners mine or support other 
industries in all #ej ,states2 ,whereas 
there are more than #ejj1jjj directly   
employed miners in ,america1 supporting 
another #a4h million jobs in            
manufacturing1 engineering1 and         
environmental sciences2 ,whereas each   
miner in ,america indirectly supports an
 additional #c jobs in spinoff          
industries such as health care1         
hospitality1 education1 and others1 and 
are located in largely rural            
communities2 ,whereas ,america's miners 

support billions in ,state and ,federal 
royalty revenues1 funding education1    
child care1 and diversifying economic   
development in their communities2 and   
,whereas ,america would rely more on    
countries like ,russia1 ,china1 the     
,democratic ,republic of the ,congo1 and
 others who rely on child and slave     
labor to produce minerals needed for    
modern life if it weren't for ,american 
miners3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the
 ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7      
supports the work of ,america's mining  
men and women2 and  7#b7 recognizes the 
importance of ,america's miners in      
securing our domestic supply chains4
