H.R. No. 1507

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In keeping with the finest tradition of public
	service, Corporal Ronald Stanfield, Trooper Cynthia Sparks, and
	Trooper Thomas M. Harris of the Texas Department of Public Safety
	acted with the utmost efficiency and professionalism, and their
	actions on January 25, 2006, were instrumental in saving the life of
	a legislative employee; and
	WHEREAS, On that day, an individual employed in the office of
	a state representative began to have trouble breathing, and a
	fellow staffer phoned for an ambulance; and
	WHEREAS, While the EMS unit was en route to the scene, Trooper
	Sparks responded to the call for assistance and found the employee
	slumped in his chair; she radioed for help and was soon joined by
	Trooper Harris; together the pair began assessing the man's vital
	signs and placed a further call for an automatic external
	defibrillator; and
	WHEREAS, Hearing the call, Corporal Stanfield picked up an
	AED from the nurse's station and hurried with it to the office;
	Trooper Harris began activating the defibrillator as Corporal
	Stanfield began to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and
	WHEREAS, Trooper Harris was about to administer the first
	shock from the defibrillator when EMS personnel arrived and took
	over the rescue operation; they administered treatment and
	stabilized the individual so that he could be moved to Brackenridge
	Hospital; and
	WHEREAS, A legislative employee's survival and subsequent
	recovery are due in large part to the quick thinking and forthright
	action of Corporal Stanfield and Troopers Sparks and Harris; their
	decisive conduct in those first crucial minutes made the critical
	difference in saving the man's life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor Corporal Ronald Stanfield, Trooper
	Cynthia Sparks, and Trooper Thomas M. Harris for their heroism in
	saving the life of a fellow Texan and extend to them sincere
	appreciation for a job well done; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
	for Corporal Stanfield, Trooper Sparks, and Trooper Harris as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
