En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Marvin O. 'Dell' Spry, a retired FBI Special Agent, for his decades of work in counterintelligence, most notably serving as the lead investigator in the case that uncovered and led to the conviction of Aldrich Ames, a CIA officer who spied for the Soviet Union. The resolution recounts Spry's 20-year FBI career, which ended with his retirement in 2006, his awards from the FBI and CIA directors, and his continuing work training FBI personnel and consulting on national security matters. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to Spry as a formal honor.
