Expressing support for democracy in Honduras and restoring normal relations between Honduras and the United States.

House Resolution 1197 is a non-binding measure intended to formally recognize Honduras as a democratic nation and normalize diplomatic relations following the country's 2009 political crisis. The resolution supports the restoration of U.S. foreign aid and encourages the State Department to review visa applications for former Honduran officials whose travel documents had been previously revoked. Additionally, it seeks to ensure that the Honduran government fairly compensates U.S. citizens for any private property that was seized by the state.
