| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas 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 William P. Clements, Jr., 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements, | ||
| Jr., Scholars on their dedication to public policy and 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 a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
