Whereas the Honorable J. Robert ``Bob'' Kerrey has served the United States with

Whereas 30 years ago this past Sunday, on March 14, 1969, Bob Kerrey lead a

        was wounded;
Whereas he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions and leadership during 
        that mission;
Whereas according to his Medal of Honor citation, ``Lt. (j.g.) Kerrey's 
        courageous and inspiring leadership, valiant fighting spirit, and 
        tenacious devotion to duty in the face of almost overwhelming opposition 
        sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service'';
Whereas during his 10 years of service in the United States Senate, Bob Kerrey 
        has demonstrated the same qualities of leadership and spirit and has 
        devoted his considerable talents to working on social security, Internal 
        Revenue Service, and entitlement reform, improving health care services, 
        guiding the intelligence community and supporting the agricultural 
        community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States Senate commends the Honorable J. 
Robert Kerrey for the service that he rendered to the United States, 
and expresses its appreciation and respect for his commitment to and 
example of bipartisanship and collegial interaction in the legislative 
process.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of this 
resolution to the Honorable J. Robert Kerrey.
