1-24 and enjoy the city's hospitality and charm; and

2-4 Humana, Dell Computer Corporation, the Austin American-Statesman,
2-5 the City of Austin, the Downtown Austin Alliance, the Greater
2-6 Austin Chamber of Commerce, and Travis County; and
2-7 WHEREAS, This outstanding event will feature performances by
2-8 prominent local musicians, including Kelly Willis, whose intensely
2-9 emotional music is a melding of country, rockabilly, and blues; and
2-10 Bruce Robison, a gifted singer-songwriter and engaging storyteller;
2-11 as well as surprise celebrity guests, all of whom ensure a festive
2-12 evening for those in attendance; now, therefore, be it
2-13 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
