SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 259

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the citizens
of Houston in congratulating Alan Wayne Smith of Boy Scout Troop 
626, who recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout; and

	WHEREAS, This outstanding young man has brought honor to 
himself, his family, his troop, his community, and his state in 
earning the coveted Eagle Badge; and

	WHEREAS, Alan completed a service project that required 
him to exercise his leadership abilities and at the same time 
benefit his community; and

	WHEREAS, Few are privileged to be named among the ranks of 
the elite corps of Eagle Scouts; only two out of every 100 Boy Scouts
earn this distinguished honor; and

	WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and 
promise, Alan advanced from Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star, and 
Life classes to Eagle Scout; he is truly an exemplary citizen of 
the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby congratulate Alan Wayne Smith on attaining
the rank of Eagle Scout and commend him on this great achievement; 
and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
Eagle Scout Smith as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
