	administration for the Speaker's Office of the Texas House of
	Representatives in January 2001; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. McKey has been called on to perform a wide
	variety of tasks during her years at the Capitol, including
	coordinating and implementing all aspects of Members' Reunion Day

	Conference of State Legislatures and the Southern Legislative
	Conference, and she has brought to all of her duties the strong
	attention to detail and work ethic for which she is known; and
	WHEREAS, "Sandy" McKey has served the speaker's office with

	have been privileged to work with her, and it is a pleasure to honor
	her for her service as she embarks on the next chapter of her life;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
