H.R. No. 1347



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Texas A&M Public Policy Internship Program was 
established in 1999 in response to an increasing interest in 
participation in public policy issues, and the program works to 
develop future leaders by offering Texas A&M students hands-on work 
experience; and
	WHEREAS, Participants are accepted into this program based on 
their academic achievements, as well as their initiative, and are 
afforded the opportunity to intern in either Washington, D.C., or 
Austin; and
	WHEREAS, Currently interning at the State Capitol are James 
Alaniz, Steven Correa, Jon Denbar, Pamela Dixon, Martin Hunt, 
Stephanie Lyles, Mary O'Hearn, Claudia Madrigal, Tiana Sanford, 
David Shoemaker, Harrison Tucker, and Ashley Wiser; and
	WHEREAS, Under the leadership of program director Manda 
Rosser, these dynamic young Texans are serving in the Capitol 
offices of state representatives and senators, and with the Senate 
Committee for Transportation and Homeland Security, the Texas 
Public Policy Foundation, and the Senate Subcommittee on Higher 
Education; and
	WHEREAS, During their tenure, interns garner valuable 
knowledge of the legislative process and the issues facing the 
citizens of the Lone Star State, while at the same time providing 
important support services to the members and committees, and it is 
a pleasure to recognize the contributions of these 12 outstanding 
students during the 79th Legislature; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the Texas A&M Public Policy Internship 
Program participants for their exceptional work throughout the 
session and extend to them sincere best wishes for success with all 
their future endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the interns as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
