WHEREAS, Members of the American Federation of State, County |

|
distinguished themselves through their generous assistance to |

the devastated Gulf Coast region; they collected and prepared a |

City, and Angleton; and |

purpose define the best sense of community and that the strength of |
|
|
a society can be judged by its response to those in need; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |

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. |
