CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas the Allied effort to supply the people of Berlin, Ger-
many, with food, fuel, and supplies in the face of the ille-
gal Soviet blockade that divided the city was one of the
greatest military and humanitarian efforts in the history
of the world;
Whereas this 15 month Allied effort became known through-
out the free world as the ‘‘Berlin Airlift’’ and ultimately
•HCON 230 EH
cost the lives of 78 Allied airmen, of whom 31 were
United States fliers;
Whereas this heroic humanitarian undertaking was univer-
sally regarded as an unambiguous statement of Western
resolve to thwart further Soviet expansion;
Whereas the Berlin Airlift was an unqualified success, both
as an instrument of diplomacy and as a life saving rescue
of the 2,000,000 inhabitants of West Berlin, with
2,326,205 tons of supplies delivered by 277,728 flights
over a 462-day period;
Whereas historians and citizens the world over view the suc-
cess of this courageous action as pivotal to the ultimate
defeat of international tyranny, symbolized today by the
fall of the Berlin Wall; and
Whereas this inspiring act of resolve must be preserved in the
memory of future generations in a positive and dramatic
manner: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
celebration of the Berlin Airlift should include the presen-
