Expressing support for designation of May 16, 2025, as the "National Day of Light".

HRES 425 is a symbolic resolution supporting the designation of May 16, 2025, as "National Day of Light" to raise public awareness of light-based technologies. It highlights how light technologies impact daily life, including medical advances (like laser surgery), communication (internet infrastructure), national security, and innovation (such as quantum computing). The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds, but encourages educational institutions to observe the day through activities. It specifically references the importance of light science without advocating for policy changes.
