A resolution honoring the life of Steven D. Symms, former United States Senator for the State of Idaho.
SRES 813 is a ceremonial Senate resolution honoring the late Steven D. Symms, former U.S. Senator from Idaho (1980-1992). It formally expresses the Senate’s sorrow at his death, directs the Secretary of the Senate to notify the House of Representatives and deliver a copy to his family, and calls for the Senate to adjourn in his memory. The resolution acknowledges his service in the Marine Corps, his 20-year congressional career (House 1972-1980, Senate 1980-1992), and his work on tax policy, infrastructure, and military base improvements. As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect or policy changes - only symbolic recognition.
