R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, James Wagoner will retire from his position as resident agent in charge of the Austin office of the U.S. Secret Service on March 22, 2003, after having served the citizens of this nation for more than 20 years with unparalleled integrity and commitment; and WHEREAS, A graduate of The University of Texas at San Antonio, Mr. Wagoner began his service to this nation as a member of the U.S. Army Reserves; on March 21, 1983, he became a special agent for the U.S. Secret Service and soon thereafter was assigned to the security detail for presidential candidate Walter Mondale; he later moved to the Washington Field Office, where he was assigned to the I.D. squad, and in 1987 he transferred back to security detail work, this time to serve as a shift agent covering President Ronald Reagan; in the years that followed, he was a member of the security teams for Nancy Reagan, Lady Bird Johnson, George Bush, and George W. Bush; and WHEREAS, In recognition of his exceptional record of service, this dedicated public servant was promoted to resident agent in charge of the Austin office, a position he has held with distinction for the past three years; throughout his exemplary career, Agent Wagoner has displayed uncommon courage while protecting our country's elected officials and their families, and in doing so he has helped to ensure the very stability of our democratic system of government; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Resident Agent in Charge James Wagoner on the occasion of his retirement from the U.S. Secret Service and extend to him warmest best wishes for continued happiness and success in his future endeavors; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Agent Wagoner as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
