                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                     September 4, 1997.
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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
