SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1102
WHEREAS, The employees of the Engrossing and Enrolling Room
are little known outside their department but they have consistently
distinguished themselves by their knowledge, their professionalism,
their dedication to public service, and, above all, their loyalty
to the Senate; and
WHEREAS, In a richly deserved recognition of this outstanding
work on behalf of the Texas Senate, the staff of the department
has been named this session's administrative recipient of the
Betty King Public Service Award; and
WHEREAS, It would be hard to single out one individual in the
department, for each one excels in that individual's own area; but
E and E's chief asset has always been its extraordinary teamwork; "
All for one and one for all" is not only the motto of the three
musketeers but also of E and E; and
WHEREAS, Whether lawyer, proofreader, bill clerk, editor,
writer, docutech operator, or typist, all take pride in their work
and in their department; all willingly help out one another, and
marathon proofing sessions are the end of session norm; and
WHEREAS, The department has many longtime employees, and
their shared history has further strengthened their friendships
and high regard for one another and their commitment to work together
for the best product; and
WHEREAS, Despite the long, grueling hours the department
works during a session, spirits remain high and laughter is often
heard throughout the department; and
WHEREAS, Often handed seemingly impossible workloads with
daunting time constraints, E and E, in true Betty King style, always
rises to the challenge, exceeds expectations, and achieves
excellence; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby commend the entire staff of the
Engrossing and Enrolling Department for their superlative service
to the Texas Senate and congratulate them on being named the 2005
administrative recipient of the Betty King Public Service Award;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
E and E as an expression of sincere gratitude for a job well done
from the Texas Senate.
