This resolution is a formal, non-binding statement by the Senate expressing sorrow at the death of former Senator David L. Boren and offering condolences to his family. It asks the Secretary of the Senate to notify the House of Representatives and send an enrolled copy to the family. It also provides that when the Senate adjourns on the day the resolution is adopted, that adjournment will be made as a further mark of respect. This action does not create law or require Presidential approval.
