R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The waning days of the 81st Legislative Session
offer an opportune time to commend the staff of the House Research
Organization, for it has once again played a key role in the
successful operations of this chamber; and
WHEREAS, Members of the house rely heavily on the impartial

of other invaluable studies, including reports on significant
policy issues; and

includes director Thomas L. Whatley and staff members Rita P. Barr,
Kenneth J. Basart, Bettie A. Buerk, Jennifer L. Burnett, Catherine
A. Dilger, Kellie A. Dworaczyk, Laura J. Hendrickson, Thomas F.
Howe, Jonathan D. Lewallen, Andrei Y. Lubomudrov, Jimmie A.
Luthuli, Carisa N. Magee, Julie Nieto, Blaire D. Parker, Philip H.
Parker, Stephen A. Sibley, and Charles H. Wilson; and
WHEREAS, Each legislative session presents a challenging
work environment, and the accuracy and efficiency of this staff in
the face of a tremendously heavy workload have earned it our
heartfelt admiration and gratitude; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor the staff of the House Research
Organization for its outstanding efforts in behalf of this body;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for each member of the House Research Organization staff
as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of
Representatives.
