Honoring the State of Louisiana's oil and gas industry on the occasion 
                       of its 101st anniversary.

Whereas oil and natural gas are 2 of the world's most important natural 
        resources;
Whereas the State of Louisiana has successfully achieved a balance between the 
        development of natural resources and the maintenance of environmental 
        standards;
Whereas Louisiana produces 27 percent of both the Nation's oil and natural gas;
Whereas there are 5,363 offshore leases for the drilling of oil and natural gas 
        in Louisiana and more than 27 million acres of the State are under lease 
        for drilling oil and natural gas on land;
Whereas Louisiana has 130 active drilling rigs, 4,489 producing oil wells, and 
        3,813 producing gas wells; and
Whereas the year 2002 marks the 101st anniversary of the first oil well in 
        Louisiana: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress honors the State of Louisiana's oil and gas industry 
on the occasion of its 101st anniversary.
                                 &lt;all&gt;
