Expressing condolences to the citizens of Italy and support for the Government of Italy in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck the Abruzzo region of central Italy.

House Resolution 430 is a formal expression of sympathy and support from the U.S. House of Representatives to the people of Italy following a major earthquake in the Abruzzo region. The resolution officially recognizes the loss of life, commends the efforts of first responders, and reaffirms the strong diplomatic and cultural ties between the United States and Italy.

While the resolution does not authorize new government spending, it serves to encourage American citizens and private organizations to support humanitarian relief efforts. It specifically highlights the work of groups like the National Italian-American Foundation and endorses the U.S. government’s offer of technical and disaster assistance to the Italian government.
