The resolution recognizes and commends the Energy Council on its fiftieth anniversary, highlighting its significant role in promoting reliable energy as a cornerstone of economic stability and global security. Established in 1975, the Energy Council serves as a nonpartisan forum for legislators from Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico to collaborate on energy policy and address issues pertinent to their constituents. Over the years, the Council has expanded to include fourteen member states and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, actively participating in the development of both state and federal energy and environmental policies.

The resolution emphasizes the Council's contributions to informing lawmakers about economic markets, emerging technologies, and global energy trends, which are crucial for formulating effective policies. For half a century, the Energy Council has been at the forefront of discussions surrounding energy generation and policy, significantly impacting the daily lives of Americans. The House of Representatives expresses its appreciation for the Council's commitment to informed energy policy leadership and plans to present a copy of the resolution to the Council's leadership.
