                               RESOLUTION


 
   Relative to the death of Thomas F. Eagleton, former United States 
                   Senator for the State of Missouri.

Whereas Thomas F. Eagleton spent his 30-year career in elected office dedicating 
        himself to his country and his home State, representing Missouri in the 
        United States Senate for 18 years;
Whereas Thomas F. Eagleton served in the United States Navy from 1948 until 
        1949;
Whereas Thomas F. Eagleton, a graduate of Amherst College and Harvard University 
        Law School, launched his political career with his election as St. Louis 
        Circuit Attorney in 1956 and was elected Missouri Attorney General in 
        1960 and Missouri Lieutenant Governor in 1964;
Whereas Thomas F. Eagleton was elected to the United States Senate in 1968, 
        ultimately serving three terms and leaving an imprint on United States 
        history by co-authoring legislation creating the Pell Grant program to 
        provide youth with higher education assistance, helping to create the 
        National Institute on Aging, and leading the charge to designate 8 
        federally-protected wilderness areas in southern Missouri; and
Whereas Thomas F. Eagleton continued to contribute to his community, State, and 
        Nation following his 1986 retirement by practicing law, teaching college 
        courses, writing political commentaries, and encouraging civility in 
        politics: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate has heard with profound sorrow and deep 
regret the announcement of the death of the Honorable Thomas F. 
Eagleton, former Member of the United States Senate.
    Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate communicate these 
resolutions to the House of Representatives and transmit an enrolled 
copy thereof to the family of the deceased.
