and agreed to:
S. Res. 582
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,
Michael P. DiSilvestro is hereby designated as Director
Emeritus of Senate Security of the United States Senate.
