,resources  ,,resolution                
,congratulating ,fermi ,national        
,accelerator ,laboratory on #ej years of
 groundbreaking discoveries4  ,whereas1 
in #bjag1 ,fermi ,national ,accelerator 
,laboratory 7referred to in this        
preamble as ,fermilab7 celebrates the   
#ejth anniversary of the date on which  
the first employees of ,fermilab started
 work in ,illinois1 ,june #ae1 #aifg2   
,whereas ,fermilab drives scientific    
discovery by building and operating     
world-leading particle accelerator and  
detector facilities1 performing         
pioneering research with national and   
global partners1 and developing new     
technologies for science that support   
the industrial competitiveness of the   

,united ,states2 ,whereas ,fermilab     
provides research facilities for #d1ejj 
scientists from #ej countries2 ,whereas 
research at ,fermilab led to the        
discovery of the #c building blocks of  
the universe1 the bottom quark in #aigg1
 the top quark in #aiie1 and the tau    
neutrino in #bjjj2 ,whereas             
superconducting magnets developed at    
,fermilab led to the advancement of     
magnetic resonance imaging medical      
diagnostics2 ,whereas ,fermilab         
contributed critical components1        
computing capabilities1 and scientific  
expertise to the #bjab discovery of the 
,higgs boson in ,geneva1 ,switzerland2  
,whereas ,fermilab continues to lead    
scientific discoveries1 including       
planning construction for the           
,long-,baseline ,neutrino ,facility to  
power the ,deep ,underground ,neutrino  
,experiment2 and ,whereas ,fermilab     
demonstrates its strong commitment to   
developing a diverse workforce for the  
future in the fields of science1        

technology1 engineering1 and mathematics
 through educational programs that bring
 more than #ae1jjj ,k-#ab students to   
visit ,fermilab each year3 ,now1        
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,senate--   
7#a7 congratulates the ,fermi ,national 
,accelerator ,laboratory on the         
semicentennial of the ,laboratory2 and  
7#b7 wishes the ,laboratory success in  
continuing to help the people of the    
,united ,states understand the mysteries
