By: Morrison | H.R. No. 1697 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to | ||
recognize the third class of Governor William P. Clements, Jr., | ||
Scholars for their commitment to public service and public policy; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, These young students are participating in the | ||
Clements Legislative Study Program, which is hosted by the Texas | ||
Conservative Coalition Research Institute; this exemplary program | ||
seeks to train, support, and sustain the next generation of leaders | ||
and public servants, instilling in them the values and work ethic of | ||
former governor William P. Clements, Jr.; and | ||
WHEREAS, Governor Clements overcame the misfortunes that | ||
befell his family during the Great Depression to create the world's | ||
largest offshore drilling company; he won an upset victory to | ||
become the state's first Republican governor since Reconstruction, | ||
bringing his business acumen to state government and focusing on | ||
such issues as sound budgeting, crime prevention, and economic | ||
diversification; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Clements Legislative Study Program is the only | ||
program of its kind to bring conservative students to Austin so that | ||
they may gain valuable experience in leadership and public service | ||
by working directly with members of the Texas Legislature; and | ||
WHEREAS, The members of the third class of this special | ||
program are Philip Collins, Matthew Hester, Chelsey McGee, Patrick | ||
Price, Taylor Turner, and Jacqueline Walker; their time at the | ||
Texas Legislature will augment their college coursework in civics, | ||
government, and history and will provide a unique learning | ||
experience as they pursue their interest in public service; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements, Jr., | ||
Scholars on their dedication to public policy and on their service | ||
to their state and nation and extend to them best wishes for success | ||
in all their future endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. |
