offical U.S. language

[Bob Hamilton]

I am trying to find an answer to settle a argument between two friends.
One contends that the American congress, after the revolutionary War voted
to see if the offical national language would be English or French
...and English won by one vote
In my study of American History I have never seen or heard of this vote.

Hopefully someone can steer me to the answer.

Thanks,
Bob Hamilton
