by leave—I move:

That the Senate records its deep sorrow at the death, on 22 August 2011, of Private Matthew Lambert, while on combat operations in Afghanistan, places on record its appreciation of his service to our country, and tenders its profound sympathy to his family and friends in their bereavement.
