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.
