                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas on January 12, 2010, the country of Haiti suffered a 
  devastating earthquake;

Whereas after the earthquake, general aviation pilots rallied to 
  provide transportation for medical staff and relief personnel;

Whereas more than 4,500 relief flights were made by general aviators in 
  the first 30 days after the earthquake;

Whereas business aircraft alone conducted more than 700 flights, 
  transporting 3,500 passengers, and over 1,000,000 pounds of cargo and 
  supplies;

Whereas relief flights were fully paid for by individual pilots and 
  aircraft owners;

Whereas smaller general aviation aircraft were able to deliver supplies 
  and medical personnel to areas outside Port-Au-Prince which larger 
  aircraft could not serve; and

Whereas the selfless efforts of the general aviation community have 
  saved countless lives and provided humanitarian assistance in a time 
  of need: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the United States Congress--
        (1) recognizes the many contributions of the general aviation 
    pilots and industry to the Haiti earthquake relief efforts; and
        (2) encourages the continued generosity of general aviation 
    pilots and operators in the ongoing humanitarian relief efforts in 
    Haiti.
Attest:

                                               Secretary of the Senate.
Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.
