WHEREAS, George W. Bush was sworn into office as the 43rd |
|
|
President of the United States on January 20, 2001, and is currently |
|
|
serving his second term as president; prior to his presidency, |
|
|
George W. Bush served for six years as the 46th Governor of the |
|
|
State of Texas, the first governor in Texas history to be elected to |
|
|
consecutive four-year terms; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In recognition of his service to his home state and |
|
|
the nation, an effort has been initiated to have the portion of |
|
|
Central Expressway in Dallas between downtown Dallas and Collin |
|
|
County designated as the George W. Bush Expressway; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The segment of the expressway selected for this |
|
|
designation is particularly appropriate, as it runs adjacent to the |
|
|
campus of Southern Methodist University, alma mater of First Lady |
|
|
Laura Bush and expected home of the George W. Bush Presidential |
|
|
Library, and bisects the President George H. W. Bush Turnpike; |
|
|
further, President Bush and the First Lady, who lived in Dallas from |
|
|
1988 to 1994, are likely to live in this area of Dallas when they |
|
|
return to Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize the effort to designate a portion of |
|
|
Central Expressway in Dallas as the George W. Bush Expressway; and, |
|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the chief clerk of the house of |
|
|
representatives forward official copies of this resolution to the |
|
|
president of the United States, the mayor of the City of Dallas, and |
|
|
members of the Dallas City Council as an expression of sentiment by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
