HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, The Honorable George E. "Buddy" West of Odessa, a
  highly respected member of the Texas House of Representatives,
  passed away on June 25, 2008, at the age of 71; and
         WHEREAS, Over the course of his notable tenure, which spanned
  from 1992 until his death, Representative West served constituents
  in Ector, Andrews, and Winkler Counties, earning the appreciation
  and admiration of countless people along the way; he was
  particularly active in the areas of energy policy and education,
  chairing the House Committee on Energy Resources, contributing to
  committees on public education and higher education, and supporting
  the growth of his alma mater, The University of Texas of the Permian
  Basin; moreover, he was always a strong advocate for Odessa, the
  city he called home for more than 60 years; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas Legislature has a long history of honoring
  groups and individuals by designating highways, roads, bridges, and
  other infrastructure in their honor, and Buddy West's exemplary
  contributions to the Lone Star State make him especially worthy of
  such a tribute; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby request the Texas Department of Transportation to designate
  the overpass at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 338 in
  Odessa as the Buddy West Memorial Overpass; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That, subject to Section 225.021(c),
  Transportation Code, the department design and construct memorial
  markers indicating the designation of the overpass as the Buddy
  West Memorial Overpass and any other appropriate information and
  erect a marker at each end of the overpass; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
  copy of this resolution to the chair of the Texas Transportation
  Commission and the executive director of the Texas Department of
  Transportation.
