S10838 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE December 9, 2008 

on the ground in Lockerbie, Scotland, were 

killed by a terrorist’s bomb; 

Whereas 189 people of the United States 

and nationals from 20 other countries were 

victims of this heinous attack; 

Whereas the families and friends of the victims of this tragedy have suffered immeasurable losses; 

Whereas people around the world actively 

have worked to diminish the possibility of 

future terrorist attacks; 

Whereas, in 2003, Libya accepted responsibility for Libyan officials’ involvement in 

the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, denounced 

terrorism, and vowed to abandon its weapons 

program; 

Whereas, on October 31, 2008, almost 20 

years after the terrorist attack, Libya completed delivery of long-awaited compensation to the families of the victims of the 

bombing of Pan Am flight 103; and 

Whereas nothing can replace the loved 

ones lost in the attack, and the United 

States must never forget the victims of this 

crime: Now, therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Senate— 

(1) designates December 21, 2008, as ‘‘Twentieth Anniversary of Remembrance for the 

Victims of the Bombing of Pan Am Flight 

103 Day’’; and 

(2) conveys the most sincere condolences to 

the families, friends, and communities of the 

victims of the attack on Flight 103.
