WHEREAS, Those young people who give of their time and |

|
talents to assist in the demanding work of the Texas Legislature are |
|
|
truly deserving of our gratitude and admiration, and Alexander |

|
Melis is one such individual; and |

|
and cheerful disposition were much appreciated by his colleagues; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The expertise brought by Mr. Melis in the area of |
|
|
health and human services was particularly valuable to both |
|
|
Representative Naishtat's staff and his constituents, and in |
|
|
assisting citizens with questions relating to these areas, he saw |
|
|
firsthand the ability of public officials to have an impact on |
|
|
policy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Melis is a graduate student at the School of |
|
|
Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin, and his hands-on |

experience with the workings of state government will no doubt |
|
|
enrich and inform his experience as a social worker; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although his coworkers are sorry to see his tenure |
|
|
end, they share his excitement in a future that is bright with |
|
|
promise; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Alexander Melis for his service as a |
|
|
legislative intern with the Texas House of Representatives and |

|
|
happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Melis as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
