   Expressing the condolences of the House of Representatives on the 
               tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Whereas the House of Representatives has heard with great sadness of the death 
        of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a tragic automobile accident;
Whereas Diana, Princess of Wales, touched the hearts of the British and American 
        people with her unflagging humanitarian and charitable efforts, her 
        grace, and her good humor;
Whereas Diana, Princess of Wales, was a leader in such causes as the struggles 
        against HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, and homelessness, and in efforts on 
        behalf of the innocent victims of antipersonnel land mines;
Whereas many of the more than 100 humanitarian and charitable causes championed 
        by Diana, Princess of Wales, operated within the United States and 
        involved matters important to the American people; and
Whereas the outpouring of sympathy by the American people has underscored the 
        ties between the British and American peoples, who are at this moment 
        united with people around the world in their sadness at the passing of 
        Diana, Princess of Wales: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its deep and 
heartfelt condolences to the British people and government and to the 
family, especially the children, of Diana, Princess of Wales, on their 
tragic loss.
    Sec. 2. The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall transmit 
copies of this resolution to the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of 
Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the United States for transmittal 
to the British government and to the family of Diana, Princess of 
Wales.
