H.R. No. 1903
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Bell Helicopter Textron in Amarillo has achieved the
National Leader level of the Clean Texas, Cleaner World program, a
voluntary environmental leadership effort sponsored by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ); and
WHEREAS, To be approved at the National Leader level, Bell
underwent a rigorous on-site audit of its environmental management
system and demonstrated environmental performance that goes beyond
compliance with environmental laws; and
WHEREAS, Committed to minimizing the generation of hazardous
and nonhazardous waste, reducing energy consumption, and reducing
air emissions, Bell is now sending all of its wooden pallets and
wooden boxes to the local Habitat for Humanity chapter; material
once destined for the landfill is thus finding a new use in the
construction of homes for low-income families; and
WHEREAS, Organizations join the Clean Texas, Cleaner World
program for a three-year period at one of four membership levels; in
consequence of meeting the criteria for National Leader, the
highest level in the program, Bell Helicopter is eligible for such
benefits as reduced reporting, which cuts paperwork, and assistance
with innovative projects that focus on environmental improvement;
and
WHEREAS, Bell's membership at the National Leader level
became effective on April 20, 2005, and the company was recognized
for its accomplishment on May 3, 2005, during the TCEQ
Environmental Trade Fair and Conference in Austin; and
WHEREAS, Since beginning operations in 1999, Bell Helicopter
in Amarillo has received widespread recognition for its commitment
to excellence, and through its outstanding dedication to
environmental protection, it embodies the highest standards of
corporate citizenship; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Bell Helicopter Textron in
Amarillo on attaining the National Leader level of the Clean Texas,
Cleaner World program of the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality and extend to everyone associated with those facilities
sincere best wishes for continued success.
