	H.C.R. No. 69



	HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

	WHEREAS, The late Dr. Bob Glaze demonstrated a deep
	commitment to public health during his six terms in the Texas House
	of Representatives and as a longtime member of the Texas Board of
	Health, and it is most fitting that he be recognized with the naming
	of the Department of State Health Services Laboratory Services
	Section building in his honor; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Smith County on November 20, 1927, Dr. Glaze
	was the son of Ben and Erin Glaze; he served his country in the
	United States Merchant Marine and earned a bachelor's degree in
	agriculture from Sam Houston State University and a doctor of
	chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Glaze represented House District 5 from 1991 to
	2002, during which time he played a key role in securing funding for
	the new DSHS laboratory as a member of both the house appropriations
	committee and the public health committee, ultimately allowing
	state employees to move out of a substandard temporary facility;
	and
	WHEREAS, In addition, Dr. Glaze served the Texas Board of
	Health as chair of its legislative committee, and he worked
	diligently at the state and federal levels to obtain funding for
	public health initiatives and health care services; he continued to
	strive to improve health care and health education as a private
	citizen, and he benefited the medical profession as president of
	the Texas Chiropractic Association and in other leadership roles;
	Dr. Glaze passed away on June 25, 2010, at the age of 82; and
	WHEREAS, A dedicated legislator and tireless health care
	advocate, Dr. Bob Glaze devoted himself to the well-being of his
	fellow Texans, and naming the Department of State Health Services
	Laboratory Services Section building in his honor would provide a
	lasting tribute to his exceptional contributions; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby recommend the Texas Facilities Commission name the
	Department of State Health Services Laboratory Services Section
	building at 1100 West 49th Street in Austin the Dr. Bob Glaze
	Laboratory Services Section building; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
	copy of this resolution to the chair and executive director of the
	Texas Facilities Commission.
