	and Municipal Employees Corrections Council 7 in Huntsville have
	distinguished themselves through their generous assistance to
	correctional officers affected by Hurricane Ike; and
	WHEREAS, In the aftermath of the hurricane, union members
	began coordinating efforts to help correctional officers located in

	City, and Angleton; and

	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
	Legislature hereby commend the members of the American Federation
	of State, County and Municipal Employees Corrections Council 7 for

	commitment to their fellow officers; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
	Employees Corrections Council 7 as an expression of high regard by
	the Texas House of Representatives.
