R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The Honorable Ruth Jones McClendon, state
  representative for District 120, has established the McClendon
  Legislative Scholars Program at The University of Texas at San
  Antonio; and
         WHEREAS, Since 2004, the McClendon Scholars Program, which is
  also known as the UTSA Legislative Scholars Program, has provided
  students with the chance to work full-time at the State Capitol
  during legislative sessions; Representative McClendon worked with
  Dr. Richard Gamitta, director of the university's Institute for Law
  and Public Affairs, to create this program, which allows
  participants to expand their knowledge and gain firsthand
  experience in Texas politics and government; and
         WHEREAS, Representative McClendon has worked closely with
  UTSA and many donors to develop this prestigious program, which
  includes a $10,000 stipend; for the 82nd Legislative Session, she
  raised sufficient funds to offer this unique opportunity to 10
  students, the largest class of scholars to date; by the end of this
  session, 26 McClendon Scholars will have successfully completed the
  program, and a number of its alumni have gone on to pursue careers
  in public service after graduation; and
         WHEREAS, By creating this significant initiative,
  Representative McClendon has enhanced the educational experience
  of a select group of young Texans, and in so doing, she is helping
  prepare a future generation of leaders; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby commend the Honorable Ruth Jones McClendon for
  her efforts in establishing and supporting the McClendon
  Legislative Scholars Program and congratulate her on its success;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Representative McClendon as an expression of high
  regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
