R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Presidential Museum and Leadership Library in 
Odessa is presenting its inaugural George E. "Buddy" West 
Leadership Award on February 17, 2003, to the outstanding Texas 
legislator for whom it has been named; and
	WHEREAS, This significant honor is a fitting tribute to 
Representative West, who for nine years has served on the museum's 
board of trustees and who has shown exemplary leadership in his work 
in behalf of West Texas businesses, community groups, and public 
agencies; and
	WHEREAS, A proud Odessan for nearly six decades, he has long 
distinguished himself in the community as a man of dedication and 
integrity; he is retired from a successful 30-year career with 
Amoco Production Company and has shared his time and expertise with 
such worthy civic organizations as the Odessa Rotary Club, the 
Odessa Chamber of Commerce, the Chuck Wagon Gang, and the Boy Scouts 
of America; and
	WHEREAS, In 1992, Representative West won election to the 
Texas House of Representatives, and his diligence and commitment to 
the duties of his office have earned him the respect and admiration 
of peers and constituents alike; he brings a wealth of experience to 
his committee assignments this session as chairman of the House 
Energy Resources Committee and as a member of both the 
Environmental Regulation and House Administration committees, and 
his contributions to the work of this body throughout the course of 
his legislative tenure cannot be overstated; and 
	WHEREAS, He has garnered countless awards from a host of 
diverse organizations that include the United Way, the Odessa 
Police Department, the Texas Commission on the Arts, The University 
of Texas of the Permian Basin, and the Texas Tech University School 
of Nursing; and
	WHEREAS, With hard work and an abiding belief in the 
potential of all Texans, this esteemed legislator has represented 
his constituents with the utmost distinction; he has proven himself 
to be a man of vision and leadership in his service to his 
community, state, and nation, and the creation of this award in his 
honor is truly well deserved; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature heartily congratulate the Honorable G. E. "Buddy" West 
on his receipt of the George E. "Buddy" West Leadership Award from 
The Presidential Museum and Leadership Library; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Representative West as an expression of high regard by 
his colleagues in the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                        Craddick
