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

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.
