|
|
on environmental air-quality issues in our state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dr. Carman is the Clean Air Program Director of |

|
Quality; from 1980 to 1992, he performed numerous samplings of |
|
|
pollutants throughout the Texas Air Control Board's Air Quality |

|
|
Carman has worked with citizens throughout the state to hold |

|
|
own ambient air monitoring; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dr. Carman has made a difference in the lives of |
|
|
many Texans through his efforts to ensure that our environmental |
|
|
laws are properly carried out; he is truly deserving of |

|
recognition for his hard work and his commitment to a cleaner |
|
|
environment; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Dr. Neil Carman on his years of |
|
