Relative to the death of William Proxmire, former United States Senator 
                      from the State of Wisconsin.

Whereas William Proxmire served in the Military Intelligence Service of the 
        United States Army from 1941 to 1946;
Whereas William Proxmire served the people of Wisconsin with distinction from 
        1957 to 1989 in the United States Senate;

        Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs in the ninety-fourth to ninety-sixth 
        and one hundredth Congresses;
Whereas William Proxmire held the longest unbroken record for roll call votes in 
        the Senate;

        ``Golden Fleece'' awards beginning in 1975 for the ``biggest or most 
        ridiculous or most ironic example of government waste''; and
Whereas William Proxmire worked endlessly to eradicate the world of genocide, 
        culminating in the ratification by the Senate of an international treaty 
        outlawing genocide: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate has heard with profound sorrow and deep 
regret the announcement of the death of the Honorable William Proxmire,
