|
|
recognize the inaugural class of Governor William P. Clements, Jr., |
|
|
Scholars, for their commitment to public service and public policy; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These young students are participating in the |
|
|
Conservative Legislative Study Program, which is hosted by the |
|
|
Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute; this exemplary |

|
program seeks to train, support, and sustain the next generation of |
|
|
leaders and public servants, instilling in them the values and work |
|
|
ethic of former Governor William P. Clements, Jr.; and |

|
WHEREAS, Governor William P. Clements, Jr., overcame the |
|
|
misfortunes that befell his family during the Great Depression to |
|
|
create the world's largest offshore drilling company; he won an |
|
|
upset victory to become the state's first Republican governor since |
|

Reconstruction, bringing his business acumen to state government |
|
|
and focusing on such issues as sound budgeting, crime prevention, |
|
|
and economic diversification; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Conservative Legislative Study Program is the |
|
|
only program of its kind to bring conservative students to Austin so |
|
|
that they may gain valuable experience in leadership and public |
|
|
service by working directly with members of the Texas Legislature; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the inaugural class of this special |
|
|
program are Molly Banas, Ben Garner, Grant Cox, and Tony McDonald; |
|
|
their time at the Texas Legislature will augment their college |
|
|
coursework in civics, government, and history and will provide a |
|
|
unique learning experience as they pursue their interest in public |
|
|
service; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements, Jr., Scholars on |
|
|
their dedication to public policy and service to their state and |
|
|
nation and extend to them best wishes for success in all their |
|
|
future endeavors; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for them |
|
|
as an expression of high regard from the Texas Legislature. |
