and
	WHEREAS, Established in 1982, the Key Communicator Award is

community a $500 million power plant, the largest development 
project announced in Texas in 2002 and the fourth largest in the

for four years at Crockett Elementary School; and
	WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering commitment to 
the well-being of his city, Mr. Winningham has made an indelible 
impression on the Greenville community, and his accomplishments in 
behalf of his fellow citizens truly deserve special legislative 
recognition; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas

Winningham on his receipt of the Greenville Independent School 
District Key Communicator Award and extend to him best wishes for
