 Congratulating the Senate GLASS Caucus staff association for lesbian, 
gay, bisexual, and transgender Senate staff on the 15-year anniversary 
                          of the association.

Whereas, on April 23, 2004, several Senate staffers joined 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 the allies 
        of LGBT Senate staff;
Whereas that staff association, known as the Gay, Lesbian, Allies Senate Staff 
        Caucus, and commonly referred to as the ``Senate GLASS Caucus'', 
        continues to serve the Senate community by raising awareness of issues 
        affecting the LGBT community;
Whereas the Senate GLASS Caucus continues to promote the welfare and dignity of 
        LGBT Senate employees;
Whereas, for the first time in the 15-year history of the Senate Glass Caucus, 
        the Senate GLASS Caucus celebrates the fact that 2 openly LGBT Members 
        are serving simultaneously in the Senate; and
Whereas the Senate GLASS Caucus strives to provide a safe environment for social 
        interaction and professional development: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the Senate GLASS Caucus staff association 
        on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the association;
            (2) commends the late Senator Frank Raleigh Lautenberg of 
        New Jersey for--
                    (A) the critical role that Senator Lautenberg 
                played in the formation of the Senate GLASS Caucus; and
                    (B) the steadfast support of Senator Lautenberg for 
                equality; and
            (3) recognizes the members of the inaugural Senate GLASS 
        Caucus Steering Committee for the vision and hard work of those 
        members in establishing the Senate GLASS Caucus, including--
                    (A) Lynden Armstrong;
                    (B) Brett Bearce;
                    (C) Josh Brekenfeld;
                    (D) John Fossum;
