R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On this day, students involved in the Empowering 
Teen Leaders program of the Urban Youth Development Program of the 
Texas Cooperative Extension are visiting the State Capitol, and 
this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to pay tribute to this 
outstanding endeavor; and
	WHEREAS, The program seeks to create a learning experience 
that is stimulating and satisfying to all aspects of a student's 
nature and to help young urban Texans develop life skills and form 
attitudes that will enable them to become self-directed and 
productive members of society; and
	WHEREAS, Moreover, these vital efforts promote active 
contribution to civic life and encourage teens to make a positive 
impact on their community through volunteering; to that end, 
participants take part in a Government in Action interactive 
learning experience, meeting with elected state officials and 
experiencing the legislative process firsthand; and
	WHEREAS, The high school juniors and seniors present today 
join a select group of students that have previously received this 
training, and through their involvement, these young role models 
are demonstrating great initiative and maturity; now, therefore, be 
it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the members of the Empowering Teen 
Leaders program for their commitment to working for a brighter 
future for Texas and extend to them sincere best wishes for 
continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
