         WHEREAS, The Texas Retired Teachers Association represents
  retired public school and higher education employees; and

  TRS-Care benefits program by reducing doctor visits, exercising
  regularly, and eating healthy foods; and
         WHEREAS, Retiree annuity payments from the Teacher
  Retirement System of Texas have exceeded $8.5 billion and have
  directly created 112,939 jobs in the Lone Star State; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas Retired Teachers Association and its
  nearly 80,000 members are working diligently to protect current and
  future public education retirees; now, therefore, be it
