H.R. No. 1563



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On May 12, 2003, the Democratic Party of El Paso 
County inducted Sheriff Leo Samaniego and 28 other outstanding 
party and community leaders into its 2003 Hall of Fame; and
	WHEREAS, Instituted in 1985, the Hall of Fame recognizes 
those individuals who have, over a significant period of time, been 
the lifeblood of the El Paso County Democratic Party--the people 
who perform every role, from handling the myriad tasks that make up 
a campaign to holding party office, serving as delegates to party 
conventions, and even serving as members of the electoral college; 
and
	WHEREAS, Those honored with induction into the Hall of Fame 
must also have given commensurate time and energy directly to the 
community; the individuals selected for this accolade have all 
compiled extensive records of volunteer service, whether in 
donating their professional skills or in lending their invaluable 
support as committed citizens to schools, youth sports, civic 
organizations, city commissions, charities, and arts and cultural 
groups; and
	WHEREAS, In honoring these admirable individuals, the El Paso 
County Democratic Party salutes them for their tireless efforts in 
giving life to American democracy and in strengthening the social 
fabric of their local communities; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Sheriff Leo Samaniego on being 
inducted into the 2003 El Paso County Democratic Hall of Fame; and, 
be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Sheriff Leo Samaniego as an expression of high regard 
by the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Chavez

	I certify that H.R. No. 1563 was adopted by the House on May 
30, 2003, by a non-record vote.
