|
|
WHEREAS, Texas legislators created the Texas A&M |
|
|
Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory in 1967 during the |
|
|
regular session of the 60th Legislature; the laboratory formally |
|
|
opened in College Station in 1969; its mission is to promote |

|
|
veterinarians, and an array of state and federal agencies; the |
|

laboratories provide the testing required for the movement of |
|
|
animals across international, interstate, and intrastate |
|
|
borders; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The success of the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical |
|
|
Diagnostic Laboratory can be attributed to a dedicated and |

|
and to the professional relationships the institution has |
|
|
developed with the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary |
|
|

|
members of the general public; now, therefore, be it |
