     SENATE RESOLUTION 280--RELATIVE TO THE CRASH OF TWA FLIGHT 800

  Mr. SPECTER (for himself, Mr. Santorum, Mr. D'Amato, Mr. Moynihan, 
and Mr. Lautenberg) submitted the following resolution; which was 
considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 280

       Whereas, on July 17, 1996, Trans World Airlines Flight 800 
     tragically crashed en route from New York to Paris, France, 
     creating a tremendous and tragic loss of life estimated at 
     229 men, women, and children;
       Whereas, according to Daniel L. Chandler, Principal of 
     Montoursville, Pennsylvania High School, among those 
     traveling on board this airplane were 16 members of the 
     Montoursville High School French Club, who were among the 
     very best students of the French language at their school, 
     and their five adult chaperones, who generously devoted their 
     time to making possible this planned three-week French Club 
     trip to visit Paris and the French provinces;
       Whereas, the actual cause of the airplane crash is as of 
     yet unknown;
       Whereas, the federal government is investigating the cause 
     of this tragedy; Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate of the United States--
       (1) expresses its condolences to the families, friends and 
     loved ones of those whose lives were taken away by this 
     tragic occurrence; and
       (2) expresses its sincere hope that the cause of this 
     tragedy will be determined through a thorough investigation 
     as soon as possible.
