H.R. No. 141



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On this day, a delegation of students participating 
in the McDermott Scholars Program is visiting the State Capitol, 
and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to recognize this 
outstanding program; and
	WHEREAS, Since its endowment in the fall of 2000, the 
McDermott Scholars Program has sought to build a brighter future 
for Texans by attracting top students from throughout the state and 
across the nation to pursue their higher education at The 
University of Texas at Dallas; and
	WHEREAS, The program, initiated by Margaret McDermott and 
named for her husband and cofounder of Texas Instruments, Eugene 
McDermott, selects participants who have demonstrated a deeply 
rooted commitment to academic excellence, community service, and 
leadership both on and off campus; and
	WHEREAS, Through private endowment funds, these young men and 
women are then presented with the opportunity to share in 
leadership training, fine arts education, and invaluable travel 
experiences, including regular visits to the Dallas Symphony 
Orchestra, the Dallas Opera, local museums, art galleries, plays, 
and concerts; in addition, first-year scholars are invited on trips 
to Austin and Washington, D.C., to meet with elected officials and 
experience the cultural diversity of our state and nation's capital 
cities; and
	WHEREAS, McDermott Scholars represent our next generation of 
business leaders, scientists, physicians, professors, attorneys, 
and public servants, and it is a privilege to recognize this 
outstanding program; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend all those associated with the McDermott 
Scholars Program for their commitment to education and community 
service and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued 
success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the McDermott Scholars as an expression of high regard 
by the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                            Hill
