Expressing the sincere gratitude of the House of Representatives to the 
 foreign individuals, organizations, and governments that have offered 
 material assistance and other forms of support to those who have been 
                     affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Whereas Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States with 
        devastating effect on August 29, 2005;
Whereas the United States has a long history of humanitarian response to other 
        countries that have experienced disasters of similar magnitude;
Whereas soon after the scope of the destruction became evident, assistance was 
        offered by foreign individuals, organizations, and governments; and
Whereas numerous messages of condolence and support for the people of the United 
        States have been sent to the President and Congress and to government 
        authorities in the affected area: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its sincere 
gratitude to the foreign individuals, organizations, and governments 
that have offered material assistance and other forms of support to 
those who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.
    Sec. 2. The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall transmit 
enrolled copies of this resolution to the Secretary of State with a 
request that the Secretary transmit the copies to the foreign 
governments described in this resolution.
