R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
  honor Adam Kowis for his outstanding work as an intern in the office
  of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and
         WHEREAS, A devotee of The Lord of the Rings, Adam Kowis
  happens to bear a striking resemblance to Frodo Baggins, a fact
  often remarked on with unholy glee by the chief of staff; indeed, he
  has a hobbit's love of squirreling things away in his desk and also,
  alas, a hobbit's sense of fashion in dress and in hair; like Gaffer
  Gamgee after a few pints at the Green Dragon in Bywater, he is also
  an inveterate contrarian, voicing objections to all conceivable
  political positions; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Kowis is further possessed of a hobbit's cunning
  and fortitude, which was fully in evidence when he led an effort to
  bail the chief of staff out of jail after a clerical error led to his
  mistaken arrest; also an avid outdoorsman, Mr. Kowis hopes to meet
  his end, many years from now, in an epic, hand-to-paw battle against
  a grizzly; and
         WHEREAS, Now that he has his college degree securely in his
  rear-view mirror, Adam Kowis will no doubt use his considerable
  talents to succeed wherever his quest may next take him, and it is
  most fitting to recognize him for a job well done; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby commend Adam Kowis for his service as an intern
  in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and extend to
  him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Kowis as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
