R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Credit unions play an important role in the economic

  years; and
         WHEREAS, In 1932, 11 individuals in El Paso created a
  cooperative to ensure their financial security during the depths of

  Federal Employees Credit Union with a working capital of $55; and
         WHEREAS, Now known as GECU, the business has grown to become
  one of El Paso's most respected financial institutions, with 11
  branches, approximately 310,000 members, and over $1.9 billion in
  assets; more than a third of the residents of El Paso County are
  members of GECU; and

  thrived by remaining true to its founding principle of people
  working together to support each other, and its contribution to the
  prosperity of its community is truly deserving of special
  recognition; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the 80th anniversary of the
  Government Employees Credit Union in El Paso and extend to its
