Whereas from March 1943 to October 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer was the first 
        director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, New Mexico, which was used to 
        design and build the nuclear weapons that ended the Second World War;
Whereas following the end of the Second World War, Dr. Oppenheimer served as a 
        science adviser and consultant to each of the 3 principal committees 
        planning for the post-war control of nuclear energy, including the 
        Secretary of War's Interim Committee on Atomic Energy, the Secretary of 
        State's Committee on Atomic Energy, and the United Nations Atomic Energy 
        Committee;
Whereas from 1947 to 1952, Dr. Oppenheimer was the first chairman of the General 
        Advisory Committee, which advised the Atomic Energy Commission on 
        scientific and technical matters;
Whereas from 1947 to 1954, Dr. Oppenheimer also served on defense policy 
        committees, including the Committee on Atomic Energy of the Joint 
        Research and Development Board, the Science Advisory Committee of the 
        Office of Defense Mobilization, and the Panel on Disarmament of the 
        Department of State;
Whereas in addition to his service to the United States Government, Dr. 
        Oppenheimer was the director of the Institute for Advanced Study at 
        Princeton University from 1947 to 1965;
Whereas in 1946, President Truman conferred on Dr. Oppenheimer the Medal for 
        Merit ``for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of

        development of the atomic bomb;
Whereas in 1963, President Lyndon Johnson conferred on Dr. Oppenheimer the 
        Enrico Fermi Award ``for contributions to theoretical physics as a 
        teacher and originator of ideas and for leadership of the Los Alamos 
        Laboratory and the atomic energy program during critical years''; and
Whereas April 22, 2004, is the 100th anniversary of Dr. Oppenheimer's birth: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the loyal service of J. Robert Oppenheimer 
        to the United States and the outstanding contributions he made

        security of the United States; and
            (2) calls on the Secretary of Energy to observe the 100th
