 Expressing the sense of Congress concerning the tragic crash of Trans 
                       World Airline Flight 800.

Whereas on July 17, 1996, Trans World Airline Flight 800 crashed en route from 
        New York to Paris, France;
Whereas the crash resulted in a tragic loss of life estimated at 229 
        individuals, including men, women, and children; and
Whereas the cause of the crash is not yet known and is being investigated by the 
        Federal Government: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That, the Congress expresses--
            (1) its condolences to the families, friends, and loved 
        ones of the victims of the crash of Trans World Airline Flight 
        800;
            (2) its gratitude for the tremendous outpouring of love and 
        support that the citizens of Long Island, New York, and, 
        indeed, all of the citizens of the United States have shown 
        following the crash, including local law enforcement personnel, 
        disaster officials and emergency personnel, the Coast Guard, 
        the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and 
        the multitude of other volunteers; and
            (3) its sincere hope that the cause of the crash will be 
        determined as soon as possible upon completion of a thorough 
        investigation.
