 Commending the American Chemical Society on the occasion of its 150th 
  anniversary and recognizing its many years of service to the United 
                                States.

Whereas, on April 6, 1876, 35 chemists convened at the College of Pharmacy of 
        the City of New York to found the American Chemical Society (ACS), 
        establishing what would become one of the world's foremost scientific 
        organizations;
Whereas, for 150 years, the ACS has advanced the chemical enterprise by 
        supporting American innovation, fostering research, and disseminating 
        scientific knowledge through its internationally respected publications 
        and programs;
Whereas the American Chemical Society was incorporated by an Act of Congress on 
        January 1, 1938, thereby affirming its national importance and mission 
        of promoting the broader chemistry community;
Whereas chemistry, as the central science, connects and informs countless 
        disciplines and plays an essential role in addressing challenges that 
        affect every aspect of daily life;
Whereas global challenges in public health, national security, and emerging 
        technologies increasingly demand collaborative, science-based solutions, 
        with chemistry providing a critical foundation for such advancements to 
        ensure continued American leadership in science and innovation;
Whereas the science of chemistry has the power to improve lives, strengthen 
        communities, and make meaningful contributions that address critical 
        societal and global issues;
Whereas innovations in chemical research and development continue to generate 
        economic growth and employment across numerous industries and sectors;
Whereas chemists and chemistry professionals serve as catalysts for positive 
        change--advancing discovery, expanding educational opportunity, and 
        inspiring the next generation of scientific leaders; and
Whereas the American Chemical Society has demonstrated long standing leadership 
        in promoting innovation, environmental stewardship, and scientific 
        advancement for the benefit of the United States and the world: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends the American Chemical Society on the momentous 
        occasion of its 150th anniversary;
            (2) recognizes the American Chemical Society for its 
        enduring contributions to the scientific, educational, and 
        economic strength of the United States;
            (3) affirms the importance of promoting science, 
        technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, 
        expanding opportunities for students to pursue chemistry and 
        related fields, and encouraging youth from all communities to 
        pursue careers in these disciplines; and
            (4) requests that the Secretary of the Senate transmit an 
        enrolled copy of this resolution to--
                    (A) the President of the American Chemical Society, 
                Rigoberto Hernandez;
                    (B) the Chief Executive Officer of the American 
                Chemical Society, Albert Horvath; and
                    (C) the Chair of the Board of the American Chemical 
                Society, Wayne Jones.
