SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 740
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the fifth class of Governor William |
|
P. Clements Jr. Scholars have distinguished themselves through |
|
their commitment to public service and public policy; and |
|
WHEREAS, These young Texans 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 Clements 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 program's fifth class consists of Logan |
|
Davidson, Gustav Gygi, Elizabeth Haynie, Daniel Manks, Ashton |
|
Moore, Julia Reeves, Evan Reid, Kelly Robinson, Saurabh Sharma, |
|
Abby Sinclair, Horace Tipton, and Madison Yandell; and |
|
WHEREAS, By taking part in this special program, the |
|
members of the fifth class of Governor William P. Clements |
|
Jr. Scholars are furthering their understanding of civics, |
|
government, and history, and the knowledge and skills they learn |
|
from their time at the Texas Legislature will serve them well in |
|
the years ahead; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements |
|
Jr. Scholars for their dedication to public policy and for their |
|
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 the |
|
students as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
