initiative; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, True models of the Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared," |
|
|
these notable Texans worked diligently to create a comprehensive |

plan in the days leading up to Hurricane Ike, and their exceptional |

anticipated, but also helped to avert any loss of life; and |

|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |

|
|

|
|
Hurricane Ike and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success with their important work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
