No. 2728 R E S O L U T I O N WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to honor Juan Garcia-Lascurain for his outstanding work as an intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and WHEREAS, Thanks to his nighttime gig fronting the local reggae sensation The Darby Drivers, Juan Garcia-Lascurain is the office's own American Idol, a distinction that has enabled him to successfully grow his hair longer than that of any other male intern in recent memory; despite the fatigue that ensues from balancing school with holding a day job on a rock star's schedule, he always manages to get the job done and to file away office materials at a remarkable rate of speed, especially for a musician; and WHEREAS, Mr. Garcia-Lascurain's peaceful, Rastaman vibe came in handy in dealing with phone calls from irate constituents, which he handled with astonishing equanimity; like Moses, who labored long and hard without entering the promised land, Mr. Garcia-Lascurain also put in extraordinary effort on a number of research projects that will not come to fruition until long after he has earned his first platinum album; and WHEREAS, Now a former college student with a degree under his belt, Juan Garcia-Lascurain will turn his calm demeanor and considerable talents to new challenges, and it is most fitting to recognize him for a job well done; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas Legislature hereby commend Juan Garcia-Lascurain for his service as an intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Mr. Garcia-Lascurain as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
