 1-4     and United States information technology companies; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, Large enough to allow for diversity but small enough

 1-9           WHEREAS, The expo's attendees include information technology
1-10     companies and investors as well as entrepreneurs from both Asia and
1-11     the United States who have new technologies or proven business

1-13     and
1-14           WHEREAS, Held at the Austin Convention Center on May 14-18,
1-15     2001, the AsiaTech @ Austin Expo will undoubtedly have a
1-16     substantial impact on the economy of Austin and the Lone Star State
1-17     and will most certainly help to foster international business
1-18     relationships that will further Texas' role as a leader in the
1-19     technology industry; now, therefore, be it
1-20           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-21     Legislature hereby commemorate the AsiaTech @ Austin 2001 Expo and
