Along with roll call votes, the Senate also passed a resolution (S. Res. 93), sponsored by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., to express the sense of the Senate regarding the courageous work and life of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov and call for a swift and transparent investigation of his recent murder in Moscow.
