Whereas the profession of linemen is steeped in personal, family, and professional tradition;Whereas linemen are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic events, working to make the scene safe for other public safety heroes;Whereas linemen must work high atop powerlines 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to keep electricity flowing;Whereas linemen play a vital role in the Nation’s economy by maintaining and growing the energy infrastructure of the United States;Whereas linemen must often work under dangerous conditions separated from their families to keep schools and businesses open;Whereas linemen deserve recognition from the community regarding the danger of their work; andWhereas, April 18, 2026, would be an appropriate date to designate as "National Lineman Appreciation Day": Now, therefore, be itThat the House of Representatives—
  - (1) recognizes the efforts of linemen in keeping the power on and protecting public safety;
  - (2) supports the designation of "National Lineman Appreciation Day"; and
  - (3) recognizes linemen as first responders.
