the United States as good for the environment for its

further promote remanufacturing as environmentally
friendly and economically smart; and
Whereas, to focus the attention of the United States on the
benefits of remanufacturing, businesses, educational insti-

to celebrate ‘‘Remanufacturing Day’’ and are encour-
aging their colleagues, friends and families, and their
communities to learn more about the benefits of remanu-
factured products: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 1
