R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Dwayne "Sparky" Anderson is stepping down from his 
position as program director for Texas Clean Water Action (CWA) 
after more than a decade of outstanding service; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Anderson began his distinguished tenure with CWA 
in 1989 as a field canvasser; later promoted to program assistant, 
he encouraged residents of San Antonio to take an active role in 
protecting the environment by establishing curbside recycling in 
the city; and
	WHEREAS, In 1994, this esteemed advocate became program 
director for Texas CWA, and over the years he has worked tirelessly 
to protect water supplies and coastal beaches; he has conducted 
budget analysis for state and federal spending on environmental 
protections and represented 80,000 CWA Texas members at city halls 
across the state, at key committees of the Texas Legislature, and at 
federal policy panels; and
	WHEREAS, Committed to a just cause, Mr. Anderson is leaving 
CWA to become executive director for the Sensible Management of 
Aquatic Resources Team (SMART), where he will continue to build 
bridges between freshwater anglers, environmentalists, and public 
health advocates; and
	WHEREAS, Though his guidance and abilities will be missed by 
his colleagues at Texas Clean Water Action, his exceptional work 
will continue to benefit the residents of the Lone Star State as he 
moves on to his new challenges and opportunities; now, therefore, 
be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Dwayne "Sparky" 
Anderson as he steps down from his position as program director for 
Texas Clean Water Action and extend to him sincere best wishes for 
continued happiness and success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Anderson as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
