HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, David Barton has long distinguished himself as vice 
chair of the Republican Party of Texas, and he may indeed reflect 
with justifiable pride on his myriad achievements in that role; and
	WHEREAS, Named to the post in 1996 by the State Republican 
Executive Committee, Mr. Barton was elected vice chair by the full 
Republican State Convention body in 1998 and has served four full 
terms in this coveted and challenging role; and
	WHEREAS, Active in all phases of the party's endeavors, this 
esteemed Texan has worked diligently to recruit candidates on the 
local, state, and national levels, and his efforts have contributed 
to Republican electoral success in both statewide and congressional 
contests; during his tenure, Republicans gained all elected 
statewide offices and today Texas has the largest Republican 
delegation in Congress; and
	WHEREAS, Through countless speaking engagements at 
fund-raisers, club meetings, and auxiliary meetings, Mr. Barton has 
helped mobilize grassroots Republicans and has seen his party make 
impressive strides, regaining the majority in the Texas House of 
Representatives for the first time in 100 years in 2003; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to training thousands of party 
activists, Mr. Barton has helped conduct training for the 
Republican freshmen entering the house and senate; he has also been 
active in the mobilization of religious leaders throughout the 
state; and
	WHEREAS, David Barton has greatly benefited the Republican 
Party of Texas during his tenure as vice chair, and he truly merits 
special recognition for his accomplishments as a member of the GOP; 
now, therefore, be it

3rd Called Session, hereby honor David Barton on his outstanding 
tenure as vice chair of the Republican Party of Texas and extend to 
him best wishes for the future; and, be it further
