Commending Russ Meyer on his induction into the National Aviation Hall 
                                of Fame.

Whereas the leadership of Russ Meyer, former chairman and chief executive 
        officer of Cessna Aircraft Company and a leading proponent of general 
        aviation, has had a dramatic impact on the continued growth of the 
        aviation industry in Kansas and throughout the United States;
Whereas Russ Meyer was one of the principal architects of the General Aviation 
        Revitalization Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-298; 108 Stat. 1552);
Whereas Russ Meyer was instrumental in the development of the ``Be A Pilot 
        Program'', which has resulted in tens of thousands of new pilots and 
        contributed more than $200,000,000 to the United States economy through 
        general aviation operations;
Whereas Russ Meyer was the originator of the Citation Special Olympics Airlift, 
        in which hundreds of owners of Citation aircraft transport athletes from 
        around the country to the Special Olympics National Games; and
Whereas Russ Meyer will join fellow residents of Kansas Olive Beech and Walter 
        Beech, Lloyd Stearman, Clyde Cessna, Amelia Earhart, and Joe Engle in 
        the National Aviation Hall of Fame: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commends Russ Meyer for being inducted into the 
        National Aviation Hall of Fame;
            (2) recognizes the achievements of Russ Meyer during his 
        lifetime of service to the aviation industry; and
            (3) directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to 
        transmit a copy of this resolution to Russ Meyer.
