                              S. Res. 268

       Whereas Malcolm Wallop served in the Wyoming House of 
     Representatives from 1969 to 1972, and in the Wyoming Senate 
     from 1973 to 1976;
       Whereas Malcolm Wallop represented the people of the State 
     of Wyoming in the United States Senate with distinction for 
     18 years, from 1977 to 1995;
       Whereas, while serving in the Senate, Malcolm Wallop 
     championed the development of space-based anti-missile 
     defense, supported legislation to reduce inheritance and gift 
     taxes, fought to restore fish habitats in the United States, 
     and opposed the control of the water resources of the State 
     of Wyoming by the Federal Government;
       Whereas Malcolm Wallop created the Congressional Award 
     Program in 1979 as a challenge to young people throughout the 
     United States to change the world around them through 
     personal initiative, achievement, and service;
       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

     the first nonlawyer in the history of the Senate to serve on 
     the Committee on the Judiciary;
       Whereas, after retiring from the Senate, Malcolm Wallop 
     founded the Frontiers of Freedom Institute to continue 
     addressing the issues he championed as a Senator and to 
     ensure that the ideals he espoused were not forgotten; and
       Whereas the hallmarks of Malcolm Wallop's public service 
     were conservatism, civility, and working for the western way 
     of life: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That--
       (1) the Senate has heard with profound sorrow and deep 
     regret the announcement of the death of the Honorable Malcolm 
     Wallop, former member of the Senate; and
       (2) the Secretary of the Senate communicate this resolution 
     to the House of Representatives and transmit an enrolled copy
