Adopted by the House

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution addresses the terrible tragedy of the crash of American Eagle Flight 5342 and U.S. Army flight PAT 25 near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on January 29, 2025.

The text acknowledges the cooperation of various officials in responding to the emergency and investigating the accident.
