H.R. No. 1697

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
recognize the third class of Governor William P. Clements, Jr.,
Scholars for their commitment to public service and public policy;
and
WHEREAS, These young students 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 members of the third class of this special
program are Philip Collins, Matthew Hester, Chelsey McGee, Patrick
Price, Taylor Turner, and Jacqueline Walker; their time at the
Texas Legislature will augment their college coursework in civics,
government, and history and will provide a unique learning
experience as they pursue their interest in public service; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements, Jr.,
Scholars on their dedication to public policy and on 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 an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
