H.Res. 306 is a congressional resolution commemorating the 60th anniversary of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), which began operations in 1965 as the Pacific Northwest Laboratory at the Hanford Site in Washington State. The resolution recognizes PNNL's evolution from a facility focused on plutonium production to one of the Department of Energy's most diversified national laboratories, now conducting approximately $1.6 billion in research and development annually with over 6,400 employees. The laboratory contributes to critical national priorities including nuclear waste cleanup, energy modernization, artificial intelligence development, cybersecurity, and scientific discovery. This resolution does not authorize funding or create any new programs—it simply expresses the House's appreciation for PNNL's scientific contributions and its role as central Washington's largest employer while noting its work with academic institutions and private industry.
