H.R. No. 555
R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, In the fine tradition of companionship and goodwill
1-2 that has long existed between Australia and the United States, the
1-3 Rotary International Group Study Exchange Team from New South
1-4 Wales, Australia, is visiting the Capitol, and the Texas House of
1-5 Representatives is pleased to extend a warm welcome to these
1-6 special emissaries of friendship from the beautiful "land down
1-7 under"; and
1-8 WHEREAS, Both the United States and Australia derive a great
1-9 deal of their heritage from the British Empire's imperial
1-10 conquests, and their development of language, social values, and
1-11 international policies have in many ways paralleled one another;
1-12 since World War II, these two countries, with their cultural and
1-13 historical similarities, have enjoyed an amicable relationship
1-14 based on mutual trust and common values; and
1-15 WHEREAS, Australians have prospered under a federal system of
1-16 government much like our own; the powers of the Commonwealth are
1-17 specified in the national constitution and residual authority
1-18 remains with the nation's six states, each of which has a bicameral
1-19 legislature, and two self-governing territories; and
1-20 WHEREAS, With shared political ideals, the United States and
1-21 Australia have fought side-by-side in every major world conflict of
1-22 this century; mutual concern for one another's well-being has led
1-23 to a defense pact between the two countries that allows for joint
1-24 Australian/United States defense facilities at North West Cape,
2-1 Pine Gap, and Nurrungar; and
2-2 WHEREAS, In addition to military arrangements that reflect
2-3 benevolent relations, many social programs have been significant in
2-4 promoting a mutual cultural understanding; in 1988, 800 Australian
2-5 schools were coupled with schools in the United States, and through
2-6 audio and video tapes, electronic mail, packages, and letters,
2-7 children from both countries were able to learn about life in the
2-8 two lands; and
2-9 WHEREAS, Rotary District 9750 of New South Wales, Australia,
2-10 with approximately 2,400 members in 58 individual clubs, will
2-11 continue to build on the strong bonds that exist between our two
2-12 countries when it experiences a taste of Texas culture as Rotary
2-13 District 5910 of East Texas introduces its Australian counterparts
2-14 to the Texas Capitol; and
2-15 WHEREAS, Members of the visiting Australian rotary district
2-16 include the following honored guests: team leader Ronald C. Wynn,
2-17 Brian Joseph Love, Angela Cross, Jonathon Craig Prowse, Gregory
2-18 William Attwell, and Bradley Wicht; and
2-19 WHEREAS, This exemplary group of professional men and women
2-20 are truly worthy of special legislative recognition for their
2-21 exceptional efforts to promote and enhance the friendship and
2-22 goodwill that exist between our two cultures; now, therefore, be it
2-23 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
2-24 Legislature hereby extend a hearty welcome to the members of the
2-25 Rotary International Group Study Exchange Team from New South
2-26 Wales, Australia, on the occasion of their visit to the State
2-27 Capitol and extend to this fine group warmest best wishes for a
3-1 memorable stay in Texas; and, be it further
3-2 RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
3-3 for the members of Rotary District 9750 as an expression of high
3-4 regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
3-5 for the members of Rotary District 9750 as an expression of high
3-6 regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
