This resolution formally honors the life and career of Senator Lindsey Olin Graham of South Carolina following his death, expressing the Senate's sorrow and paying tribute to his decades of public service. It recounts his biography, including his education, his more than three decades of military service in the Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps and Air National Guard, and his political career spanning the South Carolina legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate, where he served on major committees and chaired both the Judiciary and Budget Committees. The resolution does not create any new laws, programs, or funding, but is a symbolic gesture affecting all Americans who benefited from his service. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to send an official copy of the resolution to Graham's family and to notify the House of Representatives. As a further mark of respect, the resolution also states that the Senate would adjourn on the day it was passed in his memory.
