                             HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
 1-1           WHEREAS, On February 25, 1999, Governor George W. Bush,
 1-2     Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry, Speaker of the House of
 1-3     Representatives James E. "Pete" Laney, and other leaders in the
 1-4     legislative, executive, and judicial branches of state government,
 1-5     as well as business leaders from throughout Texas, will gather in
 1-6     Austin to participate in the Texas Prayer Breakfast; and
 1-7           WHEREAS, This worthy event provides an opportunity for public
 1-8     servants and civic leaders representing all faiths to join together
 1-9     to acknowledge their shared belief in God, to give thanks for
1-10     blessings received, and to ask God to guide this state in a
1-11     positive direction and bring unity to Texas and its citizens; and
1-12           WHEREAS, Prayer has remained an integral element in the lives
1-13     of Texans throughout our state's rich history; in these demanding
1-14     and difficult times, it is indeed a great comfort to have an event
1-15     that focuses on the positive rather than the negative, in a setting
1-16     where individuals can unite to promote increased hope, faith, and
1-17     understanding through the strength of their shared convictions and
1-18     prayers; now, therefore, be it
1-19           RESOLVED, That the 76th Legislature of the State of Texas
1-20     hereby encourage state and business leaders from across Texas to
1-21     attend and participate in this meaningful spiritual event.
