CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, Texas has the strongest economy in the South and
  leads the region in population growth, creating greater demand for
  water; and
         WHEREAS, Seawater desalination, already common in the
  Caribbean, the Middle East, and elsewhere, is worth exploring as
  the state strives to meet future water needs of citizens,
  agriculture, and industry; and
         WHEREAS, The future prosperity of Texas depends heavily on
  the availability of water, and it is imperative that we fully
  understand all of our options when it comes to securing this vital
  resource; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby request the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house
  of representatives to create a joint interim committee to study
  seawater desalination on the Texas coast; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That the committee's proceedings and operations be
  governed by such general rules and policies for joint interim
  committees as the 84th Legislature may adopt.
