of Nashville Star, Ms. Lambert sang an extraordinary duet of "Bye, 
Bye" with Jo Dee Messina to claim third place; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Lambert is undoubtedly embarking upon an 
exciting and immensely successful musical career, and this bright 
young star may be certain that her greatest fans come from her home 
state of Texas; now, therefore, be it

Legislature hereby congratulate Miranda Lambert on her outstanding 
third place finish on Nashville Star and extend to her best wishes 
for good fortune and happiness in the years to come; and, be it
