	Cancer Society for its extraordinary work; and
	WHEREAS, The American Cancer Society and its millions of
	supporters are dedicated to eliminating cancer and improving the

	WHEREAS, With more than three million volunteers
	throughout the nation, 900 local offices, and a presence in more
	than 5,100 communities, the American Cancer Society is one of the
	largest voluntary health organizations in the United States; and
	WHEREAS, This critically important organization and its
	dedicated volunteers form the backbone of the service and support
	systems for cancer victims and their families, and they are truly
	deserving of recognition and gratitude; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby commend and honor the American Cancer
	Society for their excellent efforts to save lives and end cancer;
