【21世纪房车讯】根据美国房车工业协会发布的消息,美国国会两院均在2010年2月达成一致,决定以官方形式将2010年6月定为房车工业百年纪念庆祝月。
2010年2月4日,美国上议院通过参议员 Evan Bayh与同伴Richard Lugar作为提议人提出了“上议院承认并支持通过‘房车工业百年纪念月’来纪念100年来房车生活为美国人们所带来的享受与乐趣。上议院鼓励美国人民共同庆祝这一活动并积极参与到房车度假生活中。”美国众议院将Joe Donnelly与Mark Souder定为最初提议人,其发布的决议与上议院的基本相同。
每份决议中都带有“这一美国本土的工业,包括房车生产厂、销售方、零配件供应公司以及露营地等为全国50个州数十万人提供了良好的工作”的字眼。
