SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 836
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Louis A. Bedford IV for his outstanding work as a |
|
legislative intern in the office of Senator Royce West; and |
|
WHEREAS, Louis Bedford is a second-year law student at The |
|
University of Texas School of Law, where he serves as the public |
|
relations chair of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society; he |
|
expects to earn his law degree in May of 2018; and |
|
WHEREAS, As an intern in the senator's office, Louis played |
|
an integral role in the success of "Team West"; his many |
|
responsibilities included attending hearings and summarizing the |
|
proceedings, primarily those of the Committee on Higher Education |
|
and of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus; he also researched, |
|
analyzed, and provided feedback on bills, drafted questions for |
|
floor debate, and spent time with constituents; and |
|
WHEREAS, During his internship, Louis gained firsthand |
|
knowledge of the governmental process and insight into the issues |
|
facing our communities and our state, and he was an invaluable |
|
asset to the staff in the office of Senator West; and |
|
WHEREAS, It is the senator's hope that Louis's exposure to |
|
the legislative process, the creation and interpretation of law, |
|
and the mission of service to others will foster in him an |
|
activism and spirit that will inspire him to carry on the legacy |
|
of his grandfather, Judge Louis A. Bedford Jr., who was the |
|
senator's highly respected mentor; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Louis A. Bedford IV on his exemplary |
|
work as a legislative intern for Senator Royce West and extend to |
|
him best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for him |
|
as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
