Expressing sympathy for the victims and victims' families of Air France 
                              Flight 447.

Whereas on the evening of May 31, 2009, Air France Flight 447 took off from Rio 
        de Janeiro, Brazil;
Whereas Flight 447 had an electric circuit malfunction at 10:14 p.m., is 
        estimated to have endured great turbulence, and never made it to its 
        final destination of Paris, France;
Whereas 228 people were on board;
Whereas the people of the United States, Brazil, and France have developed a 
        strong friendship based on mutual interests and respect; and
Whereas Flight 447 appears to have crashed in international waters and had 
        passengers from 32 countries on board, including 61 French citizens, 58 
        Brazilians, 26 Germans, and 2 United States citizens: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its deepest 
sympathies for the victims and families for the tragic losses suffered 
as a result of the missing aircraft, Air France Flight 447.
