Congratulating Jimmy Haywood and Kenny Roy for setting world records in 
  civil aviation history and commending youth aviation programs that 
    encourage young minorities to enter the field of civil aviation.

Whereas, on September 23, 2004, Jimmy Haywood and Kenny Roy set world records in 
        civil aviation history;
Whereas Jimmy Haywood, at the age of 11, became the youngest African American 
        pilot to make an international flight;
Whereas Kenny Roy, at the age of 14, passed Canada's flight test and became the 
        world's youngest African American pilot licensed to fly solo;
Whereas Jimmy Haywood and Kenny Roy received their flight training through the 
        Aerosquad After School Program at Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum in 
        Compton, California;
Whereas the Aerosquad After School Program, founded by Robin Petgrave, provides 
        a haven for young people to work and develop workplace ethics while 
        taking seminars that focus on mathematics, airplane maintenance, and 
        motor maintenance; and
Whereas Jimmy Haywood and Kenny Roy worked in exchange for flight lessons 
        offered through the Aerosquad After School Program: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That Congress--
            (1) congratulates Jimmy Haywood and Kenny Roy for setting 
        world records in civil aviation history; and
            (2) commends the Aerosquad After School Program at 
        Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum in Compton, California, as well 
        as other youth aviation programs that encourage young 
        minorities to enter the field of civil aviation.
