Bill > SR22

This resolution honors former President Jimmy Carter by recognizing his extensive public service and significant contributions to the United States and global community. The resolution details Carter's life journey, from his upbringing in Plains, Georgia, and service in the U.S. Navy Submarine Service to his political career as a Georgia State Senator, Governor of Georgia, and 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. It highlights his major governmental achievements, such as establishing the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Education, and emphasizes his post-presidential work through The Carter Center, which focused on promoting human rights, conducting peace negotiations, monitoring elections, and fighting infectious diseases. The resolution also celebrates his humanitarian efforts, including his partnership with Habitat for Humanity, which has helped provide shelter to millions, and his Nobel Peace Prize-winning work, such as facilitating the Camp David Accords and nearly eradicating Guinea worm disease. By formally adjourning in his honor, the Senate expresses profound sympathy for his passing and acknowledges Carter's lifelong commitment to public service, integrity, compassion, and making the world a more equitable place.
