        96                SENATE SECURITY DIRECTOR EMERITUS

            Whereas Michael P. DiSilvestro will retire from the United 
                States Senate after serving for over 30 years as the 
                first Director of the Office of Senate Security, and in 
                the Senate for over 37 years total, including numerous 
                postponements of his retirement when the needs of the 
                Senate prevailed upon him;
            Whereas his career has been dedicated to protecting and 
                facilitating the Senate's ability to review, discuss, 
                and act upon the most sensitive national security 
                information in our Government;
            Whereas he represented the Senate boldly and effectively to 
                the executive branch of Government as it delivered 
                critical documents and briefings for the consideration 
                and oversight of the Senate;
            Whereas his selfless dedication to the Senate's 
                constitutional function has made him a leader in 
                planning and executing continuity programs for the 
                Senate and Congress as a whole;
            Whereas, at great peril, he remained on the front line of 
                service to the Senate in times of heinous attacks on 
                Senate offices;
            Whereas he has upheld the highest standards and traditions 
                of the Senate as a universally trusted voice of 
                nonpartisan professionalism and expertise; and
            Whereas he has earned the respect and esteem of the Senate: 
                Now, therefore, be it
                Resolved, That, effective May 23, 2020, as a token of 
            the appreciation of the Senate for his long and faithful 
            service,
