Expressing sympathy for the victims and victims' families of Air France Flight 447.

House Resolution 512 is a formal statement by the U.S. House of Representatives to offer official condolences to the families and loved ones of those lost aboard Air France Flight 447, which disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009. As a "simple resolution," this measure serves as a symbolic gesture of international solidarity and grief rather than a law that changes federal regulations or spending. For the average citizen, the bill represents the official diplomatic stance of the U.S. government in recognizing the tragedy and honoring the 228 individuals from 32 different nations who were on board.
