  Ms. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
resolution and preamble be agreed to en bloc, the motion to reconsider

  The resolution, with its preamble, reads as follows:

                               S. Res. 93

       Whereas Jeri Thomson was elected the thirtieth Secretary of 
     the Senate on July 12, 2001;
       Whereas Jeri Thomson served the Senate during a truly 
     historic time and ensured that the Senate continued its work 
     for the country despite experiencing the longest dislocation 
     in the history of the Senate due to the largest bioterrorism 
     attack in our Nation's history;
       Whereas Jeri Thomson's dedicated service enabled the Senate 
     to break ground for a new Capitol Visitor Center, ensuring 
     future generations will continue to have safe access to ``The 
     People's House''; and
       Whereas, as an elected officer, Jeri Thomson has 
     continuously upheld the highest standards of professionalism 
     and, in the tradition of the Senate, has extended her 
     exemplary service to all Members of the Senate and their 
     families: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) commends Jeri Thomson for her extraordinary 
     contributions to the Senate and her country; and
       (2) expresses its deep appreciation for her continuing 
     service.
       Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy 
     of this resolution to Jeri Thomson.
