H. Res. 892

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 24, 2006.
Whereas the Michoud Assembly Facility plays a vital role in the United States 
        manned space flight program, including production of the Shuttle 
        External Tank, a vital component of the Shuttle program;
Whereas the 38 members of the ``Michoud Hurricane Ride-Out Team'' who stayed 
        behind during Hurricane Katrina risked their lives in dedication to the 
        space program and faced down one of the greatest natural disasters in 
        this Nation's history, at great personal risk; and
Whereas, if not for the dedication of this team, the Michoud facility would have 
        suffered a great loss of National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
        assets and technology, which would have severely limited the National 
        Aeronautics and Space Administration's mission: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives commends the dedication of the 
38 members of the ``Michoud Hurricane Ride-Out Team'' who stayed behind at the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Michoud Assembly Facility and 
protected vital program assets, which enabled the facility to resume production 
of the Shuttle External Tank within 5 weeks of Hurricane Katrina's landfall,
