SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 740
WHEREAS, The members of the fifth class of Governor William
P. Clements Jr. Scholars have distinguished themselves through
their commitment to public service and public policy; and
WHEREAS, These young Texans 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 Clements 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 program's fifth class consists of Logan
Davidson, Gustav Gygi, Elizabeth Haynie, Daniel Manks, Ashton
Moore, Julia Reeves, Evan Reid, Kelly Robinson, Saurabh Sharma,
Abby Sinclair, Horace Tipton, and Madison Yandell; and
WHEREAS, By taking part in this special program, the
members of the fifth class of Governor William P. Clements
Jr. Scholars are furthering their understanding of civics,
government, and history, and the knowledge and skills they learn
from their time at the Texas Legislature will serve them well in
the years ahead; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements
Jr. Scholars for their dedication to public policy and for their
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 the
students as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
