| WHEREAS, The retirement of Martin R. Smith as a district | ||

| WHEREAS, Mr. Smith has faithfully served the citizens of | ||
| the Childress District throughout his more than 38-year career | ||
| with TxDOT; he is the second-longest-serving district engineer | ||

| of a decade; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Distinguishing himself in his role as director of | ||
| transportation planning and development, Mr. Smith was | ||
| responsible for two of the largest projects ever undertaken by | ||
| the Childress District; among his achievements, he was | ||
| instrumental in the design of the Super 2 highway system, which | ||
| allows for safer and more efficient passing opportunities on | ||
| rural two-lane highways; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A committed champion of his community, Martin Smith | ||
| may reflect with pride on all that he has accomplished in its behalf | ||
| and in the knowledge that his contributions will continue to | ||
| benefit Texans for years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby honor Martin R. Smith on | ||
| the occasion of his retirement as Childress District engineer for | ||
| the Texas Department of Transportation and extend to him sincere | ||
| best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Smith as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
