 Relative to the death of the Honorable Malcolm Wallop, former Senator 
                       for the State of Wyoming.

Whereas, while serving in the Senate, Malcolm Wallop championed the development 
        of space-based anti-missile defense, supported legislation to reduce

        United States, and opposed the control of the water resources of the 
        State of Wyoming by the Federal Government;

Whereas, in 1984, Malcolm Wallop coauthored section 1014 of the Tax Reform Act 
        of 1984 (Public Law 98-369; 98 Stat. 1015), commonly known as the 
        Wallop-Breaux Amendment, which remains today as the leading legislative 
        initiative for sport fish restoration in the United States;
Whereas Malcolm Wallop served as chairman of the Select Committee on Ethics, 
        ranking member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the

Whereas the hallmarks of Malcolm Wallop's public service were conservatism, 
        civility, and working for the western way of life: Now, therefore, be it
