	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 490
	WHEREAS, Representatives of the Texas Chemical Council and
	the Association of Chemical Industry of Texas are gathering in
	Austin on March 27, 2013, for Texas Chemicals Day at the State
	Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The chemical industry is a major engine of the
	Texas economy, with chemicals ranking among the state's leading
	exports; chemicals are used in the manufacture of an array of
	consumer goods ranging from home and vehicle building materials
	to food, clothing, electronics, and pharmaceutical products; and
	WHEREAS, Over 74,000 Texans are directly employed by the
	chemical manufacturing industry, and more than a half-million
	Texas jobs are sustained by chemical industry-related activity;
	in addition, chemical industry businesses bring more than $1
	billion into the state's economy each year through payment of
	state and local taxes; and
	WHEREAS, Established in 1953, the Texas Chemical Council
	is a trade association of chemical manufacturing facilities in
	Texas; the Association of Chemical Industry of Texas, founded in
	1983, represents chemical manufacturers as well as suppliers,
	contractors, and other associated service companies; both
	organizations work to safeguard the economic vitality of the
	chemical manufacturing industry by addressing issues that affect
	its stakeholders; and
	WHEREAS, Chemical manufacturing has played a crucial role
	in the economic prosperity of the Lone Star State, and Texas
	Chemicals Day presents a fitting opportunity to raise awareness
	about the importance of chemistry and chemical products in our
	daily lives; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
	Legislature, hereby recognize March 27, 2013, as Texas Chemicals
	Day at the State Capitol and welcome all those visiting here
	today from the Texas Chemical Council and the Association of
	Chemical Industry of Texas.

	Hancock
