SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 137
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize February 16, 2005, as Texas Midwest Day in Austin; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Midwest is known for its scenic plains 
and rich history and is home to a host of cities offering a wide 
array of opportunities; and

Erath, Fisher, Hamilton, Haskell, Jones, Kent, Knox, McCulloch, 
Mills, Mitchell, Nolan, Runnels, Scurry, Shackelford, Stephens, 
Stonewall, Taylor, and Throckmorton; and
	WHEREAS, The area is a combination of traditional ranch

populated with Comanche Indians and other tribes, the Texas Midwest
is dotted with historic sites and museums that provide an 
intriguing overview of life in the Old West; and
	WHEREAS, Texas Midwest Day in Austin provides the 
opportunity to demonstrate a strong voice for rural Texas and to
