eye exams and tests for diabetes and other diseases; and
	WHEREAS, The important work of this worthwhile organization 
will continue as the Christian Alliance plans to erect a new medical 
clinic to serve numerous communities, including Galena Park, 
Jacinto City, and the Port of Houston area; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Stokely is making a lasting contribution to his 
community and this state through his leadership of the Christian
