Recognizing Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on the occasion of 
                         its 30th anniversary.

Whereas Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (hereinafter referred to as 
        ``DFW'') is located halfway between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, 
        Texas;
Whereas when DFW opened 30 years ago, the airport was greeted with global 
        enthusiasm from international leaders, the aviation community, and 
        Dallas and Fort Worth civic leaders and citizens;
Whereas 30 years ago, only 8 airlines served DFW, but today more than 30 
        airlines serve the airport, including 3 of the original airlines: 
        American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Continental Airlines;
Whereas DFW has been the home to many important aviation ``firsts'' for the 
        United States, including being the first airport to host the supersonic 
        Concorde, being the first airport to host a visit by a NASA Space 
        Shuttle, and being the first airport with the ability to land 4 aircraft 
        at the same time; and
Whereas DFW is the world's third busiest airport, offering nearly 2,000 flights 
        per day, providing service to 57,000,000 passengers per year, and 
        providing nonstop service to 136 domestic and 32 international 
        destinations worldwide: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress recognizes Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on the 
occasion of its 30th anniversary.
