	WHEREAS, A distinguished career in public service and

	Bethesda, Maryland, on January 20, 2017, at the age of 88; and
	WHEREAS, Robert Auerbach was born in Chicago on December 2,
	1928; he earned a degree in economics at Roosevelt College and went
	on to complete a master's degree and Ph.D. in economics at the
	University of Chicago, under the tutelage of the famed economist
	Milton Friedman; and
	WHEREAS, Early in his academic career, Dr. Auerbach worked
	for several colleges and universities in Illinois, Kansas, and
	Virginia before joining the faculty of American University, where
	he rose to full professor; while living in Washington, D.C., he also
	served as an economist for the Federal Reserve System, the House of
	Representatives Committee on Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs,
	and the Department of the Treasury; and
	WHEREAS, Professor Auerbach taught at the University of
	California-Riverside from 1983 until 1993, when he returned to
	Washington to serve for six years as an economist for the House
	Committee on Banking and Financial Services; he was the author of
	four well-regarded books and dozens of scholarly articles, and for
	the final 18 years of his career, he served as a professor of public
	affairs at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at The
	University of Texas at Austin, where he earned the deep respect and
	lasting affection of his colleagues and his students; he retired
	from UT in May 2016 and was subsequently named a professor emeritus;
	and
	WHEREAS, In his leisure, Dr. Auerbach enjoyed taking long
	walks with his wife, Linda, with whom he shared 45 years, and he
	also loved spending time with his two children, Donald and Kathryn;
	and
	WHEREAS, Bob Auerbach was a devoted family man, a
	well-respected scholar, and a consummate gentleman, and he leaves
	behind a record of achievement his loved ones can remember with
	pride; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Robert D. Auerbach
	and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his family: to his
	wife, Linda Auerbach; to his son, Donald Auerbach, and his wife,
	Courtney Hagen; to his daughter, Kathryn Crandlemire, and her
	husband, Erik; to his granddaughter, Charlotte Crandlemire; and to
	his other relatives and friends; and, be it further
