SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 689
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the third 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 |
|
|
Clements 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 Clements 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 third class of this special |
|
|
program are Philip Collins, Matthew Hester, Chelsey McGee, |
|
|
Patrick Price, Taylor Turner, and Jacqueline Walker; 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, 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 Senate. |
| |
