                         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.

            Passed the Senate April 29, 2010.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
