as board chair in 1999, and he served in that capacity for 11 years;

its investment portfolio; he also served on the board's
administrative advisory committee; and

give their all to protect Dallas residents today; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas

as chair of the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System Board of
Trustees and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued
happiness; and, be it further
