people dead; and

workers and volunteers who have helped to protect and comfort those 
whose lives have been forever changed by the bombings; and
	WHEREAS, Moving forward in the aftermath of this devastating 
incident will be a formidable challenge, yet by demonstrating a 
determination to restore normalcy, those affected send an important 
message of solidarity and hope that is shared by the members of this 
chamber; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
