     to form a first-of-its-kind staff association for lesbian, 
     gay, bisexual, and transgender (referred to in this preamble 
     as ``LGBT'') Senate staff and their allies;
       Whereas the Gay, Lesbian, and Allies Senate Staff Caucus 
     association (referred to in this preamble as the ``GLASS 
     Caucus association'') continues to serve the Senate community 
     by raising awareness of issues affecting the LGBT community;
       Whereas the GLASS Caucus association continues to promote 
     the welfare and dignity of LGBT Senate employees; and
       Whereas the GLASS Caucus association continues to provide a 
     safe environment for social interaction and professional 
     development: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--

     Caucus association (referred to in this resolution as the 
     ``GLASS Caucus association'') on the momentous occasion of 
     the association's 10th anniversary;
       (2) commends the late Senator Frank Raleigh Lautenberg of
