Whereas, his knowledge and expertise has been instrumental in the establishment of a new department of state government, the Department of Public Safety; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and commend this gentleman for his many years of public service to his country and to his State. Now therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:
