A resolution honoring the life and legacy of Lieutenant General Thomas P. Stafford.

Senate Resolution 646 is a commemorative measure that officially honors the life and career of Lieutenant General Thomas P. Stafford, a distinguished astronaut and Air Force officer who passed away in March 2024. The resolution recognizes his historic contributions to the U.S. space program—including his roles in the Gemini 6, Gemini 9, and Apollo 10 missions—and offers the formal condolences of the Senate to his family. As a non-binding resolution, it serves as a symbolic gesture of national gratitude for his military and scientific service rather than creating new laws or federal programs.
